Android App Help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so today i started my first Android Application in eclipse. I am VERY new at coding so bear with me. So i looked online on how to open a new screen when i press a button, but my question is, how do i open a different screen when i press a different button on the same page? Because you cant just copy and paste the same code for the first button because it gives you duplicate errors. Can anyone tell me what i can copy/paste or do to get my second button to go to a different screen? Thanks!
main.class (or java)
Code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class MinecraftInfoProActivity extends Activity {
Button button;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
addListenerOnButton();
}
public void addListenerOnButton(){
final Context context = this;
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Mobs.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
}
}
main.xml
Code:
animals.class (or java) (this is my second page i wanna hook my second button up to)
Code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Animals extends Activity {
}
animals.xml
Code:
AndroidManifest.xml
Code:
I am trying to hook button2 in main.xml so that when clicked, it takes me to the animals.xml page. Any help is appreciated guys. Thanks
EDIT: Sorry about the smily faces in the code..im not sure what that is about.
Mod Edit: Moved to Q&A

Hope this helps ya out
In the main.xml, you can specify an event handler method for button2 by adding this in button2's xml declarations
Code:
android:onClick="yourMethodName"
That is a quick replacement for
Code:
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void yourMethodName(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Mobs.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
Of course replace 'yourMethodName' with the method that you want to handle the click action. You can use this for button1 as well, just specify the onClick property in main.xml under button1. You need to create a method in your MinecraftInfoProActivity class that will be the handler for the button, so say you create a method called 'Button2Handler". To open up Animals (which you have to write the code to display the animals.xml) you could use this method.
Code:
public void Button2Handler(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(context, Animals.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
Hope this gives you what you need, as it's just a quick basic intro into it
