Unable to startActivity from Recycler View Adapter

I want to open same activity on every item click of recycler view,but the way i am doing it,i am getting NULL POINTER on this line-con.startActivity(intent); Please help me with this. ##

Answer 1

You can use the context from the View you clicked on.

Intent intent = new Intent (v.getContext(), StartActivity.class);
v.getContext().startActivity(intent);

Or assign the context in your constructor

this.con = con;

Answer 2

Move Context con; from MyViewHolder class to below VendorAdapter like this

public class VendorAdapter ...{
private List<Vendor> vendorList;
Context con; // move con to here

   public class MyViewHolder ...
    public TextView name, rating, address;
    RelativeLayout rl;
    ...
}

Then receive con in VendorAdapter constructor like this

public VendorAdapter(List<Vendor> vendorList,Context con) {
    this.vendorList = vendorList;
    this.con = con; // add this
}

Hope this help
