Q:

Managing activities in android game

Creating a game on android.
I have a Game activity with custom view Graphics.
I want to lunch GameOver activity when character dies, but application crashes 
(on the line: startActivity(new Intent("android.intent.action.GAMEOVER")).  
I tried to create method gameOver() and start activity in it.
    public class Game extends Activity {

        static Graphics graphics;
        //...

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

            graphics = new Graphics(this);
            setContentView(graphics);
            //...

            }
        //  TODO 
            void gameOver() {

        // Game crashes here
                startActivity(new Intent("android.intent.action.GAMEOVER"));
            }
    }

Then I tried to run this method from my custom view by creating Game object:-
public class Graphics extends View {
    Game game;
    private boolean somethingHappened;
    //...

    public Graphics(Context context) {
            super(context);
            game = new Game();
      }
            @Override
        protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
            super.onDraw(canvas);

        if (somethingHappened) {
            theHeroDies();
        }

        invalidate();
    }
    void theHeroDies() {
        game.gameOver();
    }
   }

GameOver activity perfectly works if I run by with a menu button.

A:

You may want to start the activity from the View using the Context. 
You could try changing this:
void theHeroDies() {
    game.gameOver();
}

to this:
void theHeroDies() {
    getContext().startActivity(new Intent("android.intent.action.GAMEOVER"));
}
