You should use getActivity   to launch activities from fragments  Intent intent   new Intent getActivity    mFragmentFavorite class   startActivity intent     Also  you should be naming classes with caps  MFragmentActivity instead of mFragmentActivity

If you are using getActivity   then you have to make sure that the calling activity is added already  If activity has not been added in such case so you may get null when you call getActivity     in such cases getContext   is safe  then the code for starting the activity will be slightly changed like    Intent intent   new Intent getContext    mFragmentFavorite class   startActivity intent     Activity  Service and Application extends ContextWrapper class so you can use this or getContext   or getApplicationContext   in the place of first argument

mFragmentFavorite in your code is a FragmentActivity which is not the same thing as a Fragment   That s why you re getting the type mismatch  Also  you should never call new on an Activity as that is not the proper way to start one   If you want to start a new instance of mFragmentFavorite  you can do so via an Intent   From a Fragment   Intent intent   new Intent getActivity    mFragmentFavorite class   startActivity intent     From an Activity  Intent intent   new Intent this  mFragmentFavorite class   startActivity intent     If you want to start aFavorite instead of mFragmentFavorite then you only need to change out their names in the created Intent   Also  I recommend changing your class names to be more accurate   Calling something mFragmentFavorite is improper in that it s not a Fragment at all   Also  class declarations in Java typically start with a capital letter   You d do well to name your class something like FavoriteActivity to be more accurate and conform to the language conventions   You will also need to rename the file to FavoriteActivity java if you choose to do this since Java requires class names match the file name   UPDATE  Also  it looks like you actually meant formFragmentFavorite to be a Fragment instead of a FragmentActivity based on your use of onCreateView   If you want mFragmentFavorite to be a Fragment then change the following line of code   public class mFragmentFavorite extends FragmentActivity    Make this instead read   public class mFragmentFavorite extends Fragment
