How to start a new form?

[Chen Chen]

Hi,

How to start a new form?

I tried to use  startNewForm("TopScoreActivity.class", String.valueOf(score)); 

and

 startNewForm("TopScoreActivity", String.valueOf(score)); 

both got "can not find the screen.

thanks

Chen,

A form is basically a subclass of Activity.

So, from one activity (form) to start another, use the following:

startActivity(new Intent(this, MyOtherActivity.class));        //this would be your other activity / bridge form that you want to start
finishActivity();                                                              //drop the the current activity from memory

Thanks a lot, seems still need to use the google's api instead of ours.

Okay, I see what you are doing and it should've worked. Is your TopScoreActivity in the same package as the one that's trying to initiate the new activity?

startNewForm("TopScoreActivity.class", String.valueOf(score));

Yes, they are in the same package. But the previous one just can't find it. Maybe I just input the name with a wrong way.

Chen,

I just tried, and it worked fine for me. My activities are in the same package and make sure that you have the activity defined in manifiest

startNewForm("RingerActivity", "nothing");

manifiest:
        <activity android:name=".RingerActivity" android:label="@string/app_name"/>

You are right, I forgot the manifiest. Now it works. 

Thanks
