1
00:00:00,490 --> 00:00:03,120
Everything we've done thus far in
our course has been in the context

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,600
of a single activity.

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,760
This is fine for a lot of apps,
but sooner or later,

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,030
we're going to want to
add more than one screen.

5
00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:11,440
Well, really soon, now, to be exact.

6
00:00:12,740 --> 00:00:16,930
Currently our app has one activity and
one layout file associated with it.

7
00:00:16,930 --> 00:00:20,245
Let's add another one, and we'll see how
to get to it from our main activity.

8
00:00:20,245 --> 00:00:23,680
We want to make sure that we add
the new activity in the same package

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,832
as our main activity.

10
00:00:24,832 --> 00:00:29,864
So right=click on the package here,
then select New and then down here we

11
00:00:29,864 --> 00:00:35,314
can select Activity, and from the right
we want this to be a new Empty Activity.

12
00:00:35,314 --> 00:00:36,370
For the name,

13
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:42,091
let's call this StoryActivity because
this will display the actual story.

14
00:00:42,091 --> 00:00:44,670
If we leave this checked,
we'll get a new Layout File.

15
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:46,410
We do not want this to be
the Launcher Activity.

16
00:00:46,410 --> 00:00:48,350
Our main activity is
the Launcher Activity,

17
00:00:48,350 --> 00:00:51,580
meaning that it's what's launched
when the app first loads.

18
00:00:51,580 --> 00:00:55,429
We do want Backwards Compatibility checked
so we can use the AppCompat activity,

19
00:00:55,429 --> 00:00:59,183
and we've already selected the correct
package here, so we can click Finish.

20
00:01:01,563 --> 00:01:02,440
All right, easy enough.

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:03,860
We'll set the layout in a little while.

22
00:01:03,860 --> 00:01:07,560
But first things first, let's figure
out how to navigate here from our main

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,050
activity when we tap on that button.

24
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:11,910
So let's go back to our MainActivity file.

25
00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:14,940
And right now we are just
toasting the name.

26
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:17,460
We can go ahead and delete this line.

27
00:01:18,660 --> 00:01:21,250
But we do want to keep the code that
sets the name variable as we're going

28
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:22,320
to want that.

29
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:24,520
Now we could just start our
new activity right here, but

30
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,510
instead let's put it
inside of a new method.

31
00:01:26,510 --> 00:01:29,080
This will make things a little
bit easier to understand.

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:35,710
Let's just type a method and we'll create
it with a quick fix, startStory() and

33
00:01:35,710 --> 00:01:40,590
now if we click on it and hit Alt+Enter,
we can create the new method.

34
00:01:40,590 --> 00:01:42,320
And we want to create
it inside MainActivity,

35
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,830
not inside our anonymous inner class.

36
00:01:44,830 --> 00:01:47,560
That creates it down here
as a private void method.

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,470
And inside here, we want to start our new
activity using an important Android object

38
00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:54,330
known as an intent.

39
00:01:54,330 --> 00:01:56,730
Let's talk about intents for
a minute before we write the code we need.
