Android Remove arguments to match “intent()”

Question

I am trying to start a second activity but I am getting an error on the code.

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.app.Act         


        

Answer 1

In Java, this refers to the current instance of the class containing the code.

Here

 mQuickAction.setOnActionItemClickListener(new QuickAction.OnActionItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(QuickAction quickAction, int pos, int actionId) {
            ActionItem actionItem = quickAction.getActionItem(pos);

            if (actionId == ID_SPLASH) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(this, SplashActivity.class);
                startActivity(intent);

you are creating the intent inside onItemClick which is a method of an instance of the class OnActionItemClickListener. This is known as an "anonymous inner class". Anonymous because it has no name (unlike public class MyClass) and inner because it exists only inside the class instance declaring it.

this therefore refers to the instance of the click listener.

Instead, use the instance of the outer class - your Activity.

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SplashActivity.class);

Another way of thinking about this is that the constructor for Intent that you are using expects a Context as the first parameter.

From the docs:

Intent(Context packageContext, Class cls) Create an intent for a specific component.

Since Activity extends Context, your activity is an instance of Context. OnActionItemClickListener is a class so the compiler will generate a compile time error.

Answer 2

What your trying to pass in as a context is actually onActionItemClickListener() which will not work.

Should use getBaseContext().

Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), SplashActivity.class);

Edit: Or you could do

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SplashActivity.class);
