Not able to go from one activity to other activity in android

Question

I'm trying to use a button to change from Main Activity on android studio to Main Activity 2 and I get the error

no suitable constructor found for Intent(<anonymous OnClickListener>,Class<MainActivity2>)
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity2.class);
                                ^

I'm on version 4.1 and I want to assume i'm following an old tutorial or I just missed some punctuation. This is my code:

        buttonPage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                openMainActivity2();
            }

            public void openMainActivity2(){
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity2.class);
                startActivity(intent);

Answer 1

Just to give more clarity to Caio's answer, when you use this

Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity2.class);

The intent is created in an anonymous inner class ie OnClickListener . Thus this does not refer the instance of your Activity (or Context) as intended. You need to provide the correct context of your class.

Hence, do this:

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity2.class);

startActivity(intent);

Answer 2

you should provide the correct context of your class.

try this:

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MainActivity2.class);
startActivity(intent);

Answer 3

You have to try getApplicationContext() or activity.this instead of this .

I think you are having this issue for " this ". Cause, I can't see any other issue.

Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MainActivity2.class)
startActivity(intent);
