I have a set of tabs inside of a FragmentActivity that each hold their own fragment. When I tried to start a new activity from within that fragment via an onClickListener, and using the startActivity(myIntent) method, my application force closes.

After looking around for a while, I found a reference or two to a method called startActivityFromFragment, but after searching around for an hour or so I can't find any explanations or examples of how to use it or whether this is what I should be using.

I guess what I'm asking is whether there is any difference between launching a new activity from an activity, and launching a new activity from a fragment, and if so, what do I need to implement?

You should do it with getActivity().startActivity(myIntent)
