Getting More Active

Notice the second element, referencing the DetailForm class.

Also note that it does not need an , since we will be

launching it ourselves rather than expecting the system to launch it for us.

Then, we need to start this activity when the list item is clicked. That is

handled by our onListClick listener object. So, replace our current

implementation with the following:

private AdapterView.OnItemClickListener onListClick=new

AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent,

View view, int position,

long id) {

Intent i=new Intent(LunchList.this, DetailForm.class);

startActivity(i);

}

};

Here we create an Intent that points to our DetailForm and call

startActivity() on that Intent. You will need to add an import for

android.content.Intent to LunchList.

At this point, you should be able to recompile and reinstall the application.

If you run it and click on an item in the list, it will open up the empty

DetailForm. From there, you can click the BACK button to return to the

main LunchList activity.

Step #3: Move the Detail Form UI......................................................

Now, the shredding begins – we need to start moving our detail form

First, create a LunchList/res/layout/detail_form.xml, using the detail form

from LunchList/res/layout/main.xml as a basis:
