How to open a new activity when a button is clicked?

Question

I am making an android app and I want it so that when someone clicks a button in the main menu activity, they are taken to the corresponding activity. At the moment my code is:

1. button in menu xml:

   <Button
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:text="Dwight Quotes"
   android:id="@+id/DwightButton"
   android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
   android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
   android:onClick="openNewActivity"
   android:background="#EAD383"
   android:enabled="false" />
   

2. the menu java:

   public void openNewActivity(View view) {
   // Do something in response to button
   Intent intent = new Intent(this, Dwight.class);
   startActivity(intent);
   

when I click the button nothing happens. Can someone explain what I need to do?

Remove android:enabled="false" from your code.
