import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class webView extends ActionBarActivity {

WebView figWeb;
String TAG ="com.myapplication.siva.sasfig";
long num;
String abc;
TextView regNo;

public webView() {
}


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.web_view);
    getSupportActionBar().hide();

    regNo=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.regNo);
    figWeb = ((WebView) findViewById(R.id.figWeb));

    WebSettings webSettings = figWeb.getSettings();
    webSettings.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    webSettings.setSupportZoom(true);
    webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
    Bundle man = getIntent().getExtras();
    if(man == null){
        return;
    }
    String sivMessage = man.getString("sivMessage");
    num=Long.parseLong(sivMessage);
    regNo.setText(sivMessage);
    figWeb.loadUrl("http://192.6.18/memberaccess1.asp?id="+num);
}
public void onPlus(View view)
{
    num+=1;
    abc=""+num;
    regNo.setText(abc);
    figWeb.loadUrl("http://192.6.18/memberaccess1.asp?id="+num);
}
public void onMinus(View view)
{
    num-=1;
    abc=""+num;
    regNo.setText(abc);
    figWeb.loadUrl("http://192.6.18/memberaccess1.asp?id="+num);
}
}

Going inside 2 Going inside 3 Going inside 4 Going inside 5 after that the app gets closed — Siva, Sep 26 '15 at 14:07
as you said app gets closed...possiblity of error so post logcat report along with second Activity — Shadow Droid, Sep 26 '15 at 14:11
As mentioned by others *POST YOUR LOGCAT*. Also I suspect the problem is in your `webview` code and not in the code you've posted - post the code for `webview` as well as the logcat stacktrace. One last thing - starting an `Activity` from a `Fragment` isn't really good coding practice - the `Activity` holding the `Fragment` should be responsible for starting any new `Activities`. — Squonk, Sep 26 '15 at 14:19
@Siva : The logcat extract you posted shows nothing but the informal locg messages. If the app is being closed ther will be a stacktrace showing an unhandled exception - find that in logcat and post it here. — Squonk, Sep 27 '15 at 10:20

getActivity().startActivity(i);

Hope this will help you.

Try using getActivity().getBaseContext()

   Intent i = new Intent(getActivity().getBaseContext(), webView.class);
     startActivity(i);

You my want to try passing the Context to newMethod, i.e.:

    public void onClick(View v) {
        newMethod(getActivy());
    }

 public void newMethod(Context ctx)
  {
    Log.i(TAG,"Going inside 2");
    String id=figText.getText().toString();
    Log.i(TAG,"Going inside 3");
    Intent i = new Intent(ctx, webView.class);
    Log.i(TAG,"Going inside 4");
    i.putExtra("sivMessage",id);
    Log.i(TAG,"Going inside 5");
     startActivity(i);
   }
}

Alternatively, you can try to place the dialog inside a new Runnable()

Update Based on your comment:

This problem can be for used getActivity() of "android.app.Fragment" or "android.support.v4.app.Fragment"

if your are using "android.support.v4.app.Fragment" you need to review if you aren't using getActivity from "android.app.Fragment" or vice versa.

You can try `getSupportActivity()`. – Pedro Lobito Sep 26 '15 at 14:24 — Pedro Lobito, Sep 26 '15 at 14:24

try this,

public void newMethod()
      {
        Log.i(TAG,"Going inside 2");
        String id=figText.getText().toString();
        Log.i(TAG,"Going inside 3");

// The following line is edited.

        Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), webView.class);

        Log.i(TAG,"Going inside 4");
        i.putExtra("sivMessage",id);
        Log.i(TAG,"Going inside 5");
         startActivity(i);
       }

your mistake in this line

Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), webView.class);
