Question

I want to start another activity on Android but I get this error      Please specify constructor invocation  classifier  Page2  does not have a companion object   after instantiating the Intent class  What should I do to correct the error  My code   class MainActivity   AppCompatActivity          override fun onCreate savedInstanceState  Bundle             super onCreate savedInstanceState          setContentView R layout activity main             fun buTestUpdateText2  view  View            val changePage   Intent this  Page2              Error   Please specify constructor invocation              classifier  Page2  does not have a companion object           startActivity changePage

Try this  val intent   Intent this  Page2  class java  startActivity intent

User · Answer

This is because your Page2 class doesn t have a companion object which is similar to static in Java so to use your class  To pass your class as an argument to Intent  you will have to do something like this  val changePage   Intent this  Page2  class java

To start a new Activity     startActivity Intent this CurrentClassName RequiredClassName  class java    So change your code to     class MainActivity   AppCompatActivity          override fun onCreate savedInstanceState  Bundle             super onCreate savedInstanceState          setContentView R layout activity main             fun buTestUpdateText2  view  View            startActivity Intent this MainActivity ClassName  class java               Also like this           val intent   Intent this MainActivity ClassName  class java          startActivity intent

I had a similar issue  I started to write my application in Kotlin  after I rewrote one of my activities I wanted to see if there are any issues  the problem was that I was not sure how to send an intent from java file to kotlin file   In this case I created a static function in kotlin  companion object   this function is getting a context  from the current activity  and returning the new intent while using the current context   java  context  while using the kotlin class     class java     Here is my code      this code will be in the kotlin activity - SearchActivity  companion object        fun newIntent context  Context   Intent           return Intent context  SearchActivity  class java                 this is how you call SearchActivity from MainActivity java Intent searchIntent   SearchActivity Companion newIntent this   startActivity searchIntent

You can use both Kotlin and Java files in your application    To switch between the two files  make sure you give them unique  lt  action android name    in AndroidManifest xml  like so                lt activity android name   MainActivityKotlin  gt                   lt intent-filter gt                       lt action android name  com genechuang basicfirebaseproject KotlinActivity   gt                       lt category android name  android intent category DEFAULT    gt                       lt action android name  android intent action MAIN    gt                       lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt                   lt  intent-filter gt               lt  activity gt               lt activity                 android name  com genechuang basicfirebaseproject MainActivityJava                  android label  MainActivityJava   gt                   lt intent-filter gt                       lt action android name  com genechuang basicfirebaseproject JavaActivity    gt                       lt category android name  android intent category DEFAULT    gt                   lt  intent-filter gt               lt  activity gt    Then in your MainActivity kt  Kotlin file   to start an Activity written in Java  do this          val intent   Intent  com genechuang basicfirebaseproject JavaActivity           startActivity intent    In your MainActivityJava java  Java file   to start an Activity written in Kotlin  do this           Intent mIntent   new Intent  com genechuang basicfirebaseproject KotlinActivity            startActivity mIntent

val intentAct  Intent   Intent this YourCurrentActivity  TagentActivity  class java  startActivity intentAct

You can generally simplify the specification of the parameter BlahActivity  class java by defining an inline reified generic function   inline fun  lt reified T  Activity gt  Context createIntent         Intent this  T  class java    Because that lets you do   startActivity createIntent lt Page2 gt        Or even simpler   inline fun  lt reified T  Activity gt  Activity startActivity         startActivity createIntent lt T gt           So it s now   startActivity lt Page2 gt

You have to give the second argument of class type  You can also have it a little bit more tidy like below    startActivity Intent this  Page2  class java  apply       putExtra  extra 1   value1      putExtra  extra 2   value2      putExtra  extra 3   value3

To start an Activity in java we wrote Intent this  Page2 class   basically you have to define Context in first parameter and destination class in second parameter  According to Intent method in source code -    public Intent Context packageContext  Class lt   gt  cls    As you can see we have to pass Class lt   gt  type in second parameter    By writing Intent this  Page2  we never specify we are going to pass class  we are trying to pass class type which is not acceptable   Use   class java which is alternative of  class in kotlin  Use below code to start your Activity  Intent this  Page2  class java    Example -  val intent   Intent this  NextActivity  class java     To pass any data to next activity intent putExtra  keyIdentifier   value     start your next activity startActivity intent
