Use Intent to call the SecondActivity. If in your activity_main.xml there is an Button. Then provide onClickListnere on the Button to call the Second Activity.

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent inent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
            startActivity(intent);
           }
});

Do I enter in this in mainActivity.java – K.A. Siddiqui Jan 14 '17 at 18:19
Yes, that MainActivity must be having activity_main.xml. And in this, you must have a Button, whose id must be button. Then use the method. – Aman Shekhar Jan 14 '17 at 18:21

The button id from the activity_main.xml will be used to call the event for going from ActivityMain to SecondActivity, don't forget to initialise the button in onCraete.

Use this code(inside onCreate is preferred, not necessarily):

Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_id_from_activity_main.xml);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
   startActivity(new Intent(your_activity_name.this, second_activity_to_go.class););
 }
}

    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                     Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,NextActivity.class);
                     startActivity(i);            
}
            });
