Using Intent in an Android application to show another activity

Question

The issue was the OrderScreen Activity wasn't added to the AndroidManifest.xml. Once I added that as an application node, it worked properly.

<activity android:name=".OrderScreen" />

Add this line to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity android:name=".OrderScreen" /> 

----FirstActivity.java-----

    package com.mindscripts.eid;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.content.Intent;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
    import android.widget.Button;

public class FirstActivity extends Activity {

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    Button orderButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.order);
    orderButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this,OrderScreen.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

 }
}

---OrderScreen.java---

    package com.mindscripts.eid;

    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
    import android.widget.Button;



    public class OrderScreen extends Activity {
@Override



protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.second_class);
    Button orderButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.end);
    orderButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            finish();
        }
    });

 }
}

---AndroidManifest.xml----

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  package="com.mindscripts.eid"
  android:versionCode="1"
  android:versionName="1.0">


<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
    <activity android:name=".FirstActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".OrderScreen"></activity>
</application>

Use this code:

Intent intent=new Intent(context,SecondActivty.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();

context: refer to current activity context,

please make sure that you have added activity in android manifest file.

Following code for adding activity in android manifest file

<Activity name=".SecondActivity">
</Activity>
