why my app button isn't navigating to next page in android studio using java

Question

I am new to app development, I am stuck on this following example in my book.

Can some one please help me that why my play button is not working? After clicking on the play button the game should start and it should navigate to next activity.

Answer 1

well you need to do a if statement on the being clicked on.

if(view.getId() == R.id.buttonPlay)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), GameActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}

also make sure game activity is registered in the manifest file.

Answer 2

i checked your code it is correct .

I think you forget to register your activity in manifests

please check that

Answer 3

Intent in = getIntent();

is missing.. the 2nd activity should contain this line also add this

if(view.getId() == R.id.buttonPlay)
{
Intent inte = new Intent(MainActivity.this, GameActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}

and do register in the manifest file
