Answer 1

With the ImageView element, attaching a click listener to it.

The XML:

The code:

ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.myImageView);
imageView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(ThisActivity.this, MyOtherActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
    }
});

You also could use a ImageButton (in the same way). It makes almost no difference. You can see more details here. Difference between a clickable ImageView and ImageButton
