A   Make sure your other activity is declared in manifest     lt activity     android name  MyOtherActivity      android label   string app name  gt   lt  activity gt    All activities must be declared in manifest  even if they do not have an intent filter assigned to them     B   In your MainActivity do something like this   Button btn    Button findViewById R id open activity button        btn setOnClickListener new View OnClickListener                       Override         public void onClick View v                startActivity new Intent MainActivity this  MyOtherActivity class

Using an OnClickListener  Inside your Activity instance s onCreate   method you need to first find your Button by it s id using findViewById   and then set an OnClickListener for your button and implement the onClick   method so that it starts your new Activity    Button yourButton    Button  findViewById R id your buttons id    yourButton setOnClickListener new OnClickListener        public void onClick View v                                   startActivity new Intent YourCurrentActivity this  YourNewActivity class                This is probably most developers preferred method  However  there is a common alternative   Using onClick in XML  Alternatively you can use the android onClick  yourMethodName  to declare the method name in your Activity which is called when you click your Button  and then declare your method like so   public void yourMethodName View v       startActivity new Intent YourCurrentActivity this  YourNewActivity class        Also  don t forget to declare your new Activity in your manifest xml  I hope this helps   References    Starting Another Activity  Official API Guide

I did the same that user9876226 answered   The only differemce is  that I don t usually use the onClickListener  Instead I write following in the xml-file  android onClick  open   open is the function  that is bound to the button  Then just create the function open   in your activity class  When you click on the button  this function will be called     Also  I think this way is more confortable than using the listener

If you declared your button in the xml file similar to this    lt Button         android layout width  wrap content          android layout height  wrap content          android text  next activity          android onClick  goToActivity2            gt    then you can use it to change the activity by putting this at the java file   public void goToActivity2  View view       Intent intent   new Intent  this  Main2Activity class       startActivity intent       Note that my second activity is called  Main2Activity
