Main.this error in Android code

Question

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Button PressMe = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnPressMe);
    PressMe.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            startActivity(new  Intent(Main.this, PiggyBank.class));
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }

    });
}

I have project named PiggyBank. The PiggyBank containts two screens, a welcome screen and an input/output screen. The code above is for my first screen which is a welcome screen. A welcome screen has a button named Press Me. When a user pressed the button it takes him/her to the input/output screen. This is what the above code is supposed to do. But I have an error. The line startActivity(new Intent(Main.this, PiggyBank.class)); has two red underlines, the first one is under Main.this and the second one is under PiggyBank.class. How can I fix these two errors?

Answer 1

You have mistakenly use Main.this instead of MainActivity.this as your Activity's name is MainActivty not Main.

So correct way is as follows,

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Button PressMe = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnPressMe);
        PressMe.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
        {
             @Override
             public void onClick(View v) 
            {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                  startActivity(new  Intent(MainActivity.this, PiggyBank.class));
            }
       });
}

Answer 2

Here I am adding second answer after,

The mistake was, you have declared TextView in your .xml files and you were using EditText inside the Activity file. I have corrected all the errors.

Upload your code as below,

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Button PressMe = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnPressMe);
        PressMe.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                startActivity(new  Intent(MainActivity.this,   PiggyBank2.class));
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            }

        });
    }
}

PiggyBank2.java

public class PiggyBank2 extends Activity 
{
    String groupChoice;
    int NumberOfQuarters, NumberOfDimes, NumberOfNickels, NumberOfPennies;
    double TotalQuarters, TotalDimes, TotalNickels, TotalPennies;
    double Quarters, Dimes, Nickels,Pennies;
    double sumCost;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_piggy_bank2);
        final TextView quarters  = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtQuaters);
        final TextView dimes = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtDimes);
        final TextView nickels = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtNickels);
        final TextView pennies = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtPennies);
        final Spinner group = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.txtGroup);

        Button Calculate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCalc);
        final TextView result = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtResult);
        Calculate.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener ()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) 
            {
                NumberOfQuarters=Integer.parseInt(quarters.getText().toString());
                NumberOfDimes=Integer.parseInt(dimes.getText().toString());
                NumberOfNickels=Integer.parseInt(nickels.getText().toString());
                NumberOfPennies=Integer.parseInt(pennies.getText().toString());


                TotalQuarters = Quarters * NumberOfQuarters;
                TotalDimes = Dimes * NumberOfDimes;
                TotalNickels = Nickels * NumberOfNickels;
                TotalPennies = Pennies * NumberOfPennies;

                DecimalFormat currency = new DecimalFormat("$###,###.00");
                sumCost = TotalQuarters+TotalDimes+TotalNickels+TotalPennies;
                groupChoice= group.getSelectedItem().toString();
                result.setText("THIS IS YOUR TOTAL " + groupChoice + " COST IS " +  currency.format(sumCost));
            }
        });
    }
}
