Intent in static context

Question

I need intent in static class. But when i write intent, MainActivity is red underlined.

imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                if(getItemId() == 0){
                    Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Spacex.class);

                }
            }
        });

com.company.app.MainActivity.this cannot be referenced from a static context

What should i write?

You can't reference `this` from a static method. Did you actually study the language first? — Chisko, Feb 08 '18 at 16:39

You need to pass reference of activity context like :-

public static void startNewAct(Context con) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(con, MainActivity2.class);
}

You can do this

imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                if(getItemId() == 0){
                    Intent intent = new Intent(view.getContext(), Spacex.class);

                }
            }
        });

You can use Intent.setClassName() which takes strings.

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClassName("com.example", "./Activity");
