Invoking intent from a fragment

I have a fragment

public class TwitterFragment extends Fragment implements OnClickListener {}

From this fragment I am invoking an intent as:

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

where,

public class WebViewActivity extends Activity {

But Invoking intent is giving error:

Error:(214, 33) error: no suitable constructor found for Intent(TwitterFragment,Class<WebViewActivity>)
constructor Intent.Intent(String,Uri) is not applicable
(argument mismatch; TwitterFragment cannot be converted to String)
constructor Intent.Intent(Context,Class<?>) is not applicable
(argument mismatch; TwitterFragment cannot be converted to Context)

This code was working when TwitterFragment class extends Activity instead of fragment.

Use getActivity() instead of this. Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), WebViewActivity.class);

Intent demands a Context as its first parameter. Do this:

Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), YourTargetClass.class);

And to actually start your Activity, do this:

getActivity().startActivity(intent);

Fragment doesn't extend Context, so it borrows it from its housing Activity. That is why you can't get your Intent working the first time you try it.

Get the activity for the context parameter 

Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), WebViewActivity.class);

Fragment is not a Context. Try this:

Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), WebViewActivity.class);
