Even though this question has been asked so many times, I decided to answer anyway. This will work:

tvForgotPwd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent myIntent = new Intent(Login.this, PatientSearch.class);
        startActivity(myIntent);
    }
});

In your onCreate() method, set an OnClickListener callback on your TextView. In the callback, use an Intent to start the desired activity.

Here is an exemple of code:

yourTextView= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtVwForgetPassword);

yourTextView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://youraddress.com"));    
            startActivity(intent);
    }
});

where is `onClick` attribute in `TextView` > – Pragnesh Ghoda シ Mar 12 '18 at 14:09
Indeed; I removed it since the onClick listener is set programmatically. No need for the downvote ! – matdev Mar 12 '18 at 14:15

Probably it is necessary to try a method

startActivity (new Intent (Activity.this, Open Activity.class));
