startActivity(new Intent()) in fragments

Issue

I have created a fragment and a button on it. When this button is clicked I want the user to be signed out and directed to the login_page. I have defined signOut() like this in the ProfileFragment.java file.

    void signOut(){
        gsc.signOut().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<Void>() {
            @Override
            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<Void> task) {
                getActivity().finish();
                startActivity(new Intent(fragment_profile.this,login_page.class));
                Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Signed out", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }

fragment_profile is the corresponding xml file of the ProfileFragment.java file.

error is:

Cannot resolve symbol 'fragment_profile'

This method worked when I used in AppCompatActivity.

Can someone help me with correcting this? Thank you.

Solution

Studied more on this and got this as an answer. .this does not work for fragments. Instead, getContext() works.

getActivity().finish();
startActivity(new Intent(getContext(), login_page.class));
Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Signed out", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
