Linking to another Activity using WebView onTouchListener - Android

Question

I have this main page where I have set multiple webViews. Basically the idea is simple. I use three webViews and all of them take different content from an online website. The moment they click on the web view, it should take them to another activity. Then leave the rest to me. I just need help with linking the web view to another activity using the onTouchListener.

Here is my Java File: Look for the // THE CODE FOR THE OnTOUCHEVETN STARTS HERE! line. That is where I am trying my webview 1 to start a second activity. I am trying to use this: Intent myIntentActivity1 = new Intent(this, ReadComments.Class); but java gives me the following error:

What could be causing this error?

Answer 1

Try this-

Intent myIntentActivity1 = new Intent(mainlogin.this, ReadComments.class);
startActivity(myIntentActivity1);

Or-

Intent myIntentActivity1 = new Intent(getBaseContext(), ReadComments.class);
startActivity(myIntentActivity1);
