Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK

今天在项目中碰到的一个错误：

项目中涉及到很多Activity之间相互跳转的代码，如下所示的代码，感觉很繁琐，因此想到了封装一下：

Intent intent = new Intent(SplashActivity.this , MainFragmentActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);

封装在了另一个类：UIHelper.java中

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setClass(context, cls);
context.startActivity(intent);

运行后，就报错了，错误log:

第一行提示：

Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity  context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?

错误分析：

Context中有一个startActivity方法，Activity继承自Context，重载了startActivity方法。如果使用Activity的startActivity方法，不会有任何限制，而如果使用Context的startActivity方法的話，就需要开启一个新的的task，遇到这个异常，是因为使用了Context的startActivity方法。解决办法是，加一个flag。
代码：
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK );
这样就可以在新的task里面启动这个Activity了。

        /**
	 * 启动新的Activity
	 * @param context 当前Activity
	 * @param cls     要启动的Activity的类
	 */
	public static void startUserActivity(Context context , Class cls){
		Intent intent = new Intent();
		intent.setClass(context, cls);
		intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK );
		context.startActivity(intent);
		
	}
