How to startActivity using actionbar item

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
    // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
    // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();
    switch(id){
    case R.id.switchActivity:
    Intent intent = new Intent(this,SecondClass.class);
    startActivity(intent);
    }

    return false;
}

When users click on switchActivity item, it will switch to SecondClass activity, but when i click on switchActivity, it always crashes.

The problem is not in this activity actually if you try to read your logcat logs, it says you are trying to use a referance without assigning it. And then it throws a NullPointerException. And here's the line

at com.example.intend.SecondClass.onCreate(SecondClass.java:28)
