How do I start an activity from within a Fragment

Question

I have a set of tabs inside of a FragmentActivity that each hold their own fragment  When I tried to start a new activity from within that fragment via an onClickListener  and using the startActivity myIntent  method  my application force closes   After looking around for a while  I found a reference or two to a method called startActivityFromFragment  but after searching around for an hour or so I can t find any explanations or examples of how to use it or whether this is what I should be using    I guess what I m asking is whether there is any difference between launching a new activity from an activity  and launching a new activity from a fragment  and if so  what do I need to implement

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

Use the Base Context of the Activity in which your fragment resides to start an Intent    Intent j   new Intent fBaseCtx  NewactivityName class            startActivity j     where fBaseCtx is BaseContext of your current activity  You can get it as fBaseCtx   getBaseContext

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
