Android Development- using multiple image buttons

Question

I am attempting to create an android app, I am a relative novice. I am tryin to use multiple image buttons, however, I cannot get it to work, here is the code that I am using.

Public class MapScreen extends Activity
{

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


  ImageButton ib1,ib2,ib3,ib4,ib5;

   ib1= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.go_to_lagan_screen);
   ib2= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.go_to_city);
   ib3= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.go_to_university);
   ib4= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.go_to_icon_screen);
   ib5= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.map_to_home_screen);


   ib1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
   {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v)
      {
         Intent intent = new Intent (v.getContext(), LaganArea.class);
         startActivityForResult(intent,0);
         //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }
   } );

   ib2.setOnClickListener((new View.OnClickListener()
   {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v)
      {
         Intent intent1= new Intent (v.getContext(), CityCentre.class);
         startActivityForResult(intent1,0);
         //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }
   }));
   ib3.setOnClickListener((new View.OnClickListener()
   {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v)
      {
         Intent intent2= new Intent (v.getContext(), UniversityArea.class);
         startActivityForResult(intent2,0);
         //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }
   }));
   ib4.setOnClickListener((new View.OnClickListener()
   {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v)
      {
         Intent intent3= new Intent (v.getContext(), TheIcons.class);
         startActivityForResult(intent3,0);

         //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }
   }));
   ib5.setOnClickListener((new View.OnClickListener()
   {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v)
      {
         Intent intent4= new Intent (v.getContext(), MyActivity.class);
         startActivityForResult(intent4,0);
         //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
      }
   }));
}

}

I don't know if I've missed something silly, or have I set about it the completely wrong way. But an extra pair of eyes over it would be greatly appreciated.

What is the error that you're getting? Can you post the LogCat? It is also possible that you haven't declared the activity in AndroidManifest.xml — Joel Fernandes, Nov 29 '13 at 18:43

Try this. Don't forget to add these activities on manifest. You can use switch/case for a clean and small code.

@Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.belfast_map);


          ImageButton ib1,ib2,ib3,ib4,ib5;

           ib1= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.go_to_lagan_screen);
           ib2= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.go_to_city);
           ib3= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.go_to_university);
           ib4= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.go_to_icon_screen);
           ib5= (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.map_to_home_screen);


           ib1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
           {
              @Override
              public void onClick(View v)
              {
                 Intent intent = new Intent (MapScreen.this, LaganArea.class);
                 startActivity(intent);

              }
           } );

           ib2.setOnClickListener((new View.OnClickListener()
           {
              @Override
              public void onClick(View v)
              {
                 Intent intent1= new Intent (MapScreen.this, CityCentre.class);
                 startActivity(intent1);
                 //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
              }
           }));
           ib3.setOnClickListener((new View.OnClickListener()
           {
              @Override
              public void onClick(View v)
              {
                 Intent intent2= new Intent (MapScreen.this, UniversityArea.class);
                 startActivity(intent2);
                 //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
              }
           }));
           ib4.setOnClickListener((new View.OnClickListener()
           {
              @Override
              public void onClick(View v)
              {
                 Intent intent3= new Intent (MapScreen.this, TheIcons.class);
                 startActivity(intent3);

                 //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
              }
           }));
           ib5.setOnClickListener((new View.OnClickListener()
           {
              @Override
              public void onClick(View v)
              {
                 Intent intent4= new Intent (MapScreen.this, MyActivity.class);
                 startActivity(intent4);
                 //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
              }
           }));
        }

First declare the activity in Manifest.

Try for each activity something like this :

 ib1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
   {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View v)
      {
         startActivity(new Intent (MapScreen.this , LaganArea.class));

      }
   } );
