Stuck

I cant get passed this. I created an intent inside a method and attempted to start the method that will send us to the LaunchActivity but i get errors.

LaunchActivity.java 
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class LaunchActivity extends Activity {

  public Button mLaunchButton;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_launch);

    mLaunchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.launchButton);
    mLaunchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        // Add your code in here!
        Start();
      }
    });
    private void Start(){
    Intent i = new Intent(this, FlightActivity.class);
      startActivity(i);
    }
  }
}

Hello! So you're definitely on the right track, you have all the right information, just in a place where your onClick method can't use it I believe. To make this code work, we just have to change 2 things, Change this:

public void onClick(View v) {
        // Add your code in here!
        Start();
      }
    });
    private void Start(){
    Intent i = new Intent(this, FlightActivity.class);
      startActivity(i);
    }
  }
}

To this:

public void onClick(View v) {
                // Add your code in here!
                Start();
            }

            private void Start(){
                Intent i = new Intent(this, FlightActivity.class);
                startActivity(i);
        };

    });
}
}

And then this line:

 Intent i = new Intent(this, FlightActivity.class);

To this line, just adding a reference to the context, now that this method is solely within the onClick method.

Intent i = new Intent(LaunchActivity.this, FlightActivity.class);

I think this should give you the result you need, let me know if it works for you :)
