Starting New Activity From Onoptionsitemselected

I am trying to start a new activity(Settings Activity) from onOptionsItemSelected, but i am getting fatal exception when i click on option two it starts settings activity for a whi

Solution 1:

Use something like this:

publicbooleanonOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.menu_option_two:

        Intentintent=newIntent(this, SettingsActivity.class);
        startActivity(intent);
        returntrue;


    }

    returnsuper.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

Solution 2:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
04-1903:59:34.679: E/AndroidRuntime(2733): at com.example.homeautomation.Room1.onStop(Room1.java:183)

Just set a breakpoint here (Room1.onStop) and find out what is null.

Solution 3:

While searching the web, I came across this, which is an alternative to what you`re trying to do.

You could have a base activity with 2 buttons( if you like ), one to take you to your main activity and another to take you to settings.
