In Android App you can have multiple Activities. Each Activity performs a certain task. At times it needs to call another Activity.
To do this Intent is used. Which means an intent to do something.
To call a new MessageActivity from the MainActivity – on click of a Button add the following two lines in your MainActivity
Intent intent=new Intent(this, MessageActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
That’s it !
