Intents and Multiple Activities

The Activity below is used to launch a spacecraft. Tapping on the button takes the user to a new Activity where s/he can control the ship. In the onClick() method, add an Intent that we can use to start FlightActivity. please assist guys

LaunchActivity.java 
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class LaunchActivity extends Activity {

  public Button mLaunchButton;

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_launch);

    mLaunchButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.launchButton);
    mLaunchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent intent=newIntent(FlightActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
        // Add your code in here!


      }
    });
  }
}

  1. You need to add a space between "new" and "Intent"
  2. Also add context to the Intent() such as LaunchActivity.this

Should look something like this:

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

Oops...just saw the comments on your post that you've already fixed it. My bad :)
