Android: OnClick shows toast message but crashes when I start another activity

Question

I am trying to call activity by clicking card view. The app is crashing when I click cardview:

Here is the code:

cardView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { 
   @Override 
   public void onClick(View v) { 
      context.startActivity(new Intent(context,Dummy.class));
   }
});

But if I put a toast message instead - it is working fine. What is wrong here?

here is my code holder.cardView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { context.startActivity(new Intent(context,Dummy.class)); } }); — , Mar 12 '17 at 17:46
Add your code by editing you question, also post the stack trace of the crash causing `Exception`. — Veneet Reddy, Mar 12 '17 at 18:11
It is customary to format code over several lines, to make it more readable, both for yourself and your readers. — halfer, Mar 12 '17 at 20:24

Try removing context from context.startActivity();

cardView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { 
   @Override 
   public void onClick(View v) { 
      startActivity(new Intent(context,Dummy.class));
   }
});

If your outer class is some Activity subclass it is already a Context and it might be beter to use it to show another Activity.
