Start Activity with New Intent using dynamic class name

Question

Is it possible to do this in android:

String anewactivity="Zero";
Intent NewActivity = new Intent(context, anewactivity.class);

I tried to do that but it gave me an error. Is it possible in some way?

Thanks!

I saw the answer that you showed me when i was posting my question. but the other answer don't launch for me the new activity does it?

This is supported in Java and is answered [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6094575/creating-an-instance-using-the-class-name-and-calling-constructor). — Aaron D, Mar 13 '15 at 14:18
you need the fully qualified path to the class, and then you can use intent.setClassName(context, anewactivity); — Blackbelt, Mar 13 '15 at 14:24

You can use java's reflection methods:

Class activityClass = Class.forName("com.something.Zero");
