android - Linking from an activity to a fragment activity with a button using actionBarSherlock

Question

I made a project wherein when you click a button from the MainActivity, it will lead to a fragment activity. But I can't seem to make it work.

Here's a snippet of my code for the button in MainActivity:

Button button2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
    button2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener () {

        public void onClick(View v) {

            Intent intent = new Intent (v.getContext(), page3.class);
            startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
        }
    }) ;

Here's my snippet for page3 where the button from MainActivity leads to:

package com.example.pixelapp3;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.ActionBar;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity;

public class page3 extends SherlockFragmentActivity {

private ViewPager mViewPager;
private TabsAdapter mTabsAdapter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    mViewPager = new ViewPager(this);
    mViewPager.setId(R.id.pager);
    setContentView(mViewPager);

    final ActionBar bar = getSupportActionBar();
    bar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

    mTabsAdapter = new TabsAdapter(this, mViewPager);
    mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText("Fragment 1"), page3a.class, null);
    mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText("Fragment 2"), page3b.class, null);
    mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText("Fragment 3"), page3c.class, null);
    mTabsAdapter.addTab(bar.newTab().setText("Fragment 4"), page3d.class, null);
}

}

Here's the page3.xml snippet:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".mainActivity" >

<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/pager"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Here's page3a.java:

package com.example.pixelapp3;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity;


public class page3a extends SherlockFragmentActivity {

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.page3a, null);
}

}

Here's the logCat when I click the button that doesn't work:

Here's the MainActivity

Here's the page3(including page3a to page3d fragments

I've been stuck here for days. Any type of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try using this button implementation instead :

 in your layout : 
       <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnLogin"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:onClick="yourmethod"
        android:text="button2" />

your code :

     public void yourmethod(View v){
   //do somthing on button press 
    }
