How do I start an activity from within a Fragment? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

You should do it with getActivity().startActivity(myIntent)

Solution 2:

I done it, below code is working for me....

@Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.hello_world, container, false);

        Button newPage = (Button)v.findViewById(R.id.click);
        newPage.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), HomeActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        });
        return v;
    }

and Please make sure that your destination activity should be register in Manifest.xml file,

but in my case all tabs are not shown in HomeActivity, is any solution for that ?

Solution 3:

The difference between starting an Activity from a Fragment and an Activity is how you get the context, because in both cases it has to be an activity.

From an activity: The context is the current activity (this)

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

From a fragment: The context is the parent activity (getActivity()). Notice, that the fragment itself can start the activity via startActivity(), this is not necessary to be done from the activity.

Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), NewActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

I do it like this, to launch the SendFreeTextActivity from a (custom) menu fragment that appears in multiple activities:

In the MenuFragment class:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_menu, container, false);

    final Button sendFreeTextButton = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.sendFreeTextButton);
    sendFreeTextButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Log.d(TAG, "sendFreeTextButton clicked");
            Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), SendFreeTextActivity.class);
            MenuFragment.this.startActivity(intent);
        }
    });
    ...
