If you have issue with this not working, there is solid chance logcat shows the error. We need to see it. — poss, Aug 19 '15 at 17:58
Hover over it or look in your status bar. There should be a text that describes the error. — poss, Aug 19 '15 at 18:03
Im pretty sure you have to use your mainactivity.this , beucase only this is reference to the listener object. — Dreo, Aug 19 '15 at 18:05

If your current activity is called Main use:

Intent intent = new Intent(Main.this, signup.class);

When you put only this, this is reference of the OnClickListener object.

Use Classname.this

For example:

Intent _intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this , signup.class ) ;

Next time , pls try to come up with some logs/error description

Intent intent = new Intent(this, signup.class);

Should be like this: Intent intent = new Intent(YouCurrentActivity.this, signup.class); Replace YouCurrentActivity with the name of the activity that you are currently coding in. The error occurs because you cannot refer to the Activity name with "this" in an inner class. e,g in an onClickListener.
