How to link two xml pages in Android app when a button is clicked?

Question

I am making a simple app in which on home page, a button is placed. When the button is clicked, it must display a new page (xml in layout). How to do that ..

My app contains in src directory, There are two java files. 1. Activity2 2. Main_activity and two xml files in layout: 1. fragment_main.xml 2. Activity.xml

I want that when i click "Technical button", it should display Activity.xml page from layout..

My codes:

1. Main_Activity.java

}

Solution

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

Add a leading line and an explanation why you think this answer will work.

The error is in Activity2.java. 'package com.example.vit; import android.app.Activity; public class Activity2 extends Activity { public void onCreate(Bundle, savedInstanceState) { { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.Activity); } }'
