Hello, you need to create activity in the menu / Mapa. Maps_activity is already created but located elsewhere. How can I do this? You can help me? I am a beginner. This is not working, it writes a mistake. Thank you Juraj

override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem?): Boolean {
when(item.itemId) {
R.id.Mapa -> {
startActivity(Intent(this, activity_maps::class.java))
return true
}
}
return false
}
}

You want to start your Maps activity? Try startActivity(Intent(this, MapsActivity.class)) (or whatever you named your activity)

[jurajsolarml]

Yes, ok

I'm still writing a mistake between when (item.itemId) {, the dot is a bug 😞

[Morten]

item seems to be nullable (hence the ? in MenuItem?) so the compiler complains that you are not checking for null.

[jurajsolarml]

ok,thanks

override fun onOptionsItemSelected(item: MenuItem?): Boolean {
when (item?.itemId) {
R.id.action_Mapa -> {
startActivity(Intent(this, MapsActivity.class)) <- expeciting ')'
}
}
return false
}
}
