how to switch from one activity to another activity

[sohaib rahman]

Hi folks!

I have come with a new problem. The problem is that there is a Welcome Screen which has a start button. I want to switch from WelcomeScreen Activity to another Activity on the click of the Start button. I anyone has an example then please reply me.

good morning,
use this on the clickListener function to open a new activity

//Open new activity
Intent myIntent = new Intent();
myIntent.setClassName("com.yourDomain.appName", "com.yourDomain.appName.activityName");
startActivity(myIntent);

you can pass parameters to the new activity if you use

myIntent.putExtra();

That's what Intents are for. The "Activating Components" section of the "Application Fundamentals" page in the SDK Dev Guide talks about that.

This is only a personal preference, but I feel that this keeps things nice and clean

In your other activity, add this method:

public static void callMe(Context context) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(context, OtherActivity.class);
    context.startActivity(intent);
}

Then you can call this activity from your WelcomeScreen activity, or any other class simply by running this:

OtherActivity.callMe(this);
