public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
  final String TAG = "States";
  Button btnActTwo;
 
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    btnActTwo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnActTwo);
    btnActTwo.setOnClickListener(this);
    Log.d(TAG, "MainActivity: onCreate()");
  }
 
  @Override
  protected void onRestart() {
    super.onRestart();
    Log.d(TAG, "MainActivity: onRestart()");
  }
 
  @Override
  protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    Log.d(TAG, "MainActivity: onStart()");
  }
 
  @Override
  protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

  }
 
  @Override
  protected void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    Log.d(TAG, "MainActivity: onDestroy()");
  }
 
  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityTwo.class);
    startActivity(intent);
  }
}
