I added a Welcome activity to start my Android app and which then calls up my MainActivity.java.

I swapped over the entries in the AndroidManifest.xml file and tested the Welcome activity started up the app.

This worked as I expected.

However, when I added a simple OnClickListener to the Welcome.java file I get the attached attached.

I’ve upset Android Studio and can’t proceed.

I’m very new to Android app development and so this is likely to be a stupid error.

This is a syntax error it won’t run the app but is unhappy with the line:-

Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);

1 – Changed the AndroidManifest.xml file

2 – Added the following code to my Welcome.java:-

public class Welcome extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    EdgeToEdge.enable(this);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_welcome);

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

}
3-tried the autocorrect actions suggested nothing helps
