</application>
</manifest>

you have to do below things to achieve what you want
whenever you open activity you have to save previous activity name in prefrance.
when you press resume button get activity name from prefrance and open activity using below code
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.android.browser","com.android.BrowserActivity");
context.startActivity(intent);
// clear previous activity before start
when you app relaunch app then do step 2 again in main Activity
in this type of approch you have to maintain flow of application using singletone or clear stack before launch activity. because you have to handle backbutton

How do i get a button to open a new activity in android studio?

I'd seen this asked in many, many places and have tried to follow the instructions given to no avail. I dont know if the questions are old, i'm doing things incorrectly or if my android studio program isnt working. What i want to do is to only open a new activity when a button is clicked. I'm very new to developing android applications.
I've recently tried to follow the answer provided here: How do I get a button to open another activity in Android Studio?
OnClick on the button is called "goTutorials"
My original activity is called home (Not mainActivity)
The new one is called tutorials.
This is what i added from trying to follow the link above:
In home's java file:
btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.open_activity_button);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(home.this, tutorials.class));
}
});
In manifest file:
<activity
android:name="tutorials"
android:label="#string/app_name">
</activity>

Method 1
Use the onclick attribute in XML (so that whenever you click the button, defined method will trigger)
Step 1. - go to the XML where you button is(activity_home) & add
<Button
............
android:onClick="gotoTutorial"/>
Step 2. - then go to the home.Java & add following
public void gotoTutorial(View v){
Intent tutorialPage = new Intent (this, tutorials.class);
startActivity(tutorialPage);
}
Method 2
Use the setOnClickListener
Step 1. -
//create the link to the button in the interface
btn_tutorial = (Button)findViewById(R.id.tutorial_button);
btn_tutorial.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent tutorialPage = new Intent (this, tutorials.class);
startActivity(tutorialPage);
}
}

I have created a sample app please see the code below.
You need to specify information of all activities in Manifest file.

I hope it helps.

Your manifest file is not displaying, but make sure you add the activity in your manifest AndroidManifest.xml in the application field. Here's an example from Google: Link
<application ... >
...
<activity
android:name="com.mycompany.myfirstapp.DisplayMessageActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_display_message"
android:parentActivityName="com.mycompany.myfirstapp.MyActivity" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value="com.mycompany.myfirstapp.MyActivity" />
</activity>
Otherwise, the method you're using should be correct. You create an intent to the class of the Activity you want to start.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, tutorials.class);
startActivity(intent);
Make sure you have the necessary methods such as onCreate(Bundle savedInstance) Overrided.
Note that in the sample above android:name="" is your activity's full path name to the class (without .class/.java) and label is going to be the action toolbar string you'll see. In the <meta-data/> section you can alter the android:value="" to the starting activity's name so that will need to change based on what you call it.
Finally, make sure it has an XML view to go with it, as it gets inflated in the onCreate(Bundle savedInstance) call.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_layout_here);
}

inside your activity file write this
Button btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.open_activity_button);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(home.this, tutorials.class));
}
});

XML
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/button_send"
android:onClick="sendMessage" />
.Java class
/** Called when the user clicks the Send button */
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, YourActivityYouWantToOpen.class);
startActivity(intent);
}

Button displays toast and starts service

I have two buttons (start/stop) that when clicked need to have a Toast pop up saying what has happened to the Service. Start = popup of "service has started" and the service actually starts. The service isn't finished and will be grabbing some GPS info later on.
Anyway, none of my Toasts show up and I'm hoping I'm not missing something obvious.
Main (Activity)
public class Main extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button startBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startButton);
startBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), ParseService.class));
}
});
Button stopBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.startButton);
stopBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
stopService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), ParseService.class));
}
});
}
}
ParseService
public class ParseService extends Service {
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent e, int flags, int startId){
Toast.makeText(this, "Service has Started", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
return START_STICKY;
}
#Override
public void onDestroy(){
super.onDestroy();
Toast.makeText(this, "Service has Stopped", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
activity_main.xml
<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:textAlignment="center"
tools:context="${packageName}.${activityClass}" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/startButton"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="92dp"
android:text="Start" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/stopButton"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/startButton"
android:layout_below="#+id/startButton"
android:layout_marginTop="74dp"
android:text="Stop" />
</RelativeLayout>

You are supposed to use the Application's Context from a Service and not the Service's Context.
From your Service:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), // application Context not 'this'
"Service has Started",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Alternatively, you could display them from your Activity before you invoke the Service if you wish but I think where you have the calls currently positioned makes more sense and would reduce repetition later on as long as you always want the Toast displayed.
EDIT:
Ok, after making a quick test app I think I found what might be going wrong for you.
Do you have the Service declared in your AndroidManifest.xml??
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.indivisible.testapp">
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:name=".toasts.ToastActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_toast">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<!-- Define your Service as below.
In my case the path is:
.../TestApp/app/src/main/java/com/indivisible/testapp/toasts/ToastService.java
Android Studio has a nice auto-complete when you press '.'
-->
<service
android:name=".toasts.ToastService"
android:label="ToastService">
</service>
</application>
</manifest>

It seems like your service is not getting started, make sure the service is declared in the manifest and enabled as below:
<service
android:name=".ParseService"
android:enabled="true" />
Hope this helps

Music don't start on button click

When I go to install the app on the device, I click the button but nothing happen.
I want to make device play tosse.acc from res/raw when I click the button...
Ok resolved the problem :) thanks for answers guys :D ( i have changed the name of the song from tosse to toxxe)
public void tosse1(View v) {
Button one = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.button1);
final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.toxxe);
one.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Resume the music player
mp.start();
}
});
}
Here my code:
public void tosse1(View v) {
Button one = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.button1);
final MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.create(this, R.raw.tosse);
one.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Resume the music player
mp.start();
}
});
}
activity_main:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Declare your mp as private variable in your class:
public class PlayaudioActivity extends Activity {
private MediaPlayer mp;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
stopPlaying();
mp = MediaPlayer.create(PlayaudioActivity.this, R.raw.tosse);
mp.start();
}
});
}
private void stopPlaying() {
if (mp != null) {
mp.stop();
mp.release();
mp = null;
}
}
}

Try getting a Mediaplayer Instance like this:
final MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.tosse);
should solve your problem, because it also prepares the MediaPlayer, see documentation:
public static MediaPlayer create (Context context, int resid) Added in API level 1
Convenience method to create a MediaPlayer for a given
resource id. On success, prepare() will already have been called and
must not be called again.
When done with the MediaPlayer, you should call release(), to free the
resources. If not released, too many MediaPlayer instances will result
in an exception.

Create an intermediate activity as below by extending TabActivitygroup
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
public class InterMediateActivity extends TabActivityGroup{
String TabID;
String TabName;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TabID=getIntent().getStringExtra("TabID");
TabName=getIntent().getStringExtra("TabName");
Log.i("Tab from intermediate",""+TabID+" "+TabName);
filterTabs(TabID);
}
private void filterTabs(String TabID)
{
if(TabID.trim().equals("Home"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,HomePage.class));
//TabsUtil.setTabIndicator(specTab,"Wall", null, tabView);
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("Menu"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,MenuPage.class));
//TabsUtil.setTabIndicator(specTab,"Wall", null, tabView);
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("Gallery"))
{
Log.i("GALLERY check", "gallery check");
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,GalleryPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("Aboutus"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,AboutUsPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("Location"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,LocationList.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("Events"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,EventsPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("TipCalculator"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,TipCalculatorPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("Special"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,SpecialPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("NowRunning"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,NowRunningPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("ShowTimes"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,ShowTimePage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("GpsCoupon"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,GPSCouponPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("UpcomingMovieNames"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,UpcomingPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().equals("PriceListOfServices"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,ServicesPage.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().trim().equals("NewsLetter"))
{
Log.i("newsletter check", "newsletter check");
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,NewsLetter.class));
}
if(TabID.trim().trim().equals("Website"))
{
startChildActivity("Options", new Intent(this,WebSitePage.class));
}
}
}
And instead of setting the tabs from tabactivity directly you can set them inside the intermediate activity. Then call the Intermediate activity from the tabactivity.
Intent intent = new Intent(this, InterMediateActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("TabID", item.elementAt(0));
intent.putExtra("TabName", item.elementAt(1));
