Android Studio:

Hi everyone. How's it going?
I'm having trouble with calling the Matrix class into the Main Activity.
Basically, when the lock button is pressed, the matrix class should run/be active.
I'm not sure if I should use the resizable() method or create a new intent.

All other parts of the code appears to be working fine.
Please help!
Thanks For Understanding.

Hi, this is your first post here    You can use code tags to format the code (next time).

I'm having trouble with calling the Matrix class into the Main Activity.
Basically, when the lock button is pressed, the matrix class should run/be active.





In the above code one can construct (call?) the Matrix class using the Matrix's constructor (note the two lines I have added as comments). But, will it work - I don't know.

What does the Matrix (it is extending the android.view.View) class do? What is its purpose?

If the Matrix view should replace the current view, then you should create another activity, and Matrix should be part of its layout. In that case, using an intent to start that activity would be a proper way to do it.

I don't understand what you mean by the comment about "resizable()" - how is that a way to display a view?

It's as Tim Moores said. The Matrix should replace the current view.
The problem is I need guidance.

Guidance on what, exactly? You already know how to create an activity with its own layout. And if you search for "Android start activity intent" you'll find examples of how to do that.

The solution to "my code doesn't work or crashes" is almost never "can you show me another way" but "why does it do that".

If there's a crash, then there's a stack trace in the logcat. Post it here in full, together with the code that causes it (the stack trace has the line number where the crash happens).
 
I miss the old days when I would think up a sinister scheme for world domination and you would show a little emotional support. So just look at this tiny ad:
