How do I get a button to open another activity?

Question

I\'ve added a button to my activity XML file and I can\'t get it to open my other activity. Can some please tell me step by step on how to do this?

Answer 1

If you declared your button in the xml file similar to this:

then you can use it to change the activity by putting this at the java file:

public void goToActivity2 (View view){
    Intent intent = new Intent (this, Main2Activity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

Note that my second activity is called "Main2Activity"
