Method delegate or event is expected ошибка

Issue

I am completely new to Android Studio and just learned Object-oriented programming. My project requires me to build something on open-source code. I added a new menu item to a menu and want to start another activity once the user clicks the menu item with id: plot. I followed a recipe on the internet but got an error with it. It said ‘method call expected’ which means Terminal Fragment may be a method. I got confused, as I thought it is a class(an activity). Could anyone give me instructions to start an activity (turn to the next page with a different activity) in this case? What will be the simplest way to do this? Much Appreciated.

I added this in onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item).

if (id == R.id.plot){
            Intent intent = new Intent(TerminalFragment.this, MainActivity2.class);
            startActivity(intent);
        }

Solution

Here, TerminalFragment is a fragment, not an activity. And so, instead of using TerminalFragment.this in new Intent(), you should use getActivity().

So, the final code would look something like this:

Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), MainActivity2.class);
startActivity(intent);

You can also check this: Intent from Fragment to Activity
