Simplest way to open new screen

[Frank PaBirds]

I am new to Andoid/Java. I have done a lot of programming in Microsoft Access Visual Basic.

In VB, to open a new form from a button click, you create the form and then add the following to the button's onclick event docmd.openform("Form1"). That's all there is to it!

In Android/Java I cannot find an equivilant command. Everything I look at has activities, listeners, intents, etc.

Is there a simple way to do this?

If not, can someone give me the most bareboned code for simply opening a new screen from a button click?

I understand how to create a new layout.xml file. I just can't figure out how to simply display it.
