Parameters

intent
The description of the activity to start.
options
Additional options for how the Activity should be started. May be null if there are no options. See Android.App.ActivityOptions for how to build the Bundle supplied here; there are no supported definitions for building it manually.

Exceptions

TypeReason
Android.Content.ActivityNotFoundException 

Remarks

Launch a new activity. You will not receive any information about when the activity exits.

Note that if this method is being called from outside of an Android.App.Activity Context, then the Intent must include the Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK launch flag. This is because, without being started from an existing Activity, there is no existing task in which to place the new activity and thus it needs to be placed in its own separate task.

This method throws Android.Content.ActivityNotFoundException if there was no Activity found to run the given Intent.
