Intent not working in NavigationDrawerFragment

I'm trying to call another activity using my NavigationDrawerFragment. Under my onOptionsItemSelected I create an intent and call the said intent but for some reason it is showing up as an error.

Intent intent = new Intent(this, HomeActivity.class);

I was wondering why it was not working since :

• I already have a HomeActivity class

• I also have added it in the manifest

• Other activities are also calling the HomeActivity class and it seems to be working just fine.

  @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { if (mDrawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) { return true; }

      if (item.getItemId() == R.id.action_example) {
          Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Example action.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                  .show();
  
  
         int pos = 1;
         switch(pos){
  
         case 1:
             Intent intent = new Intent(this, HomeActivity.class);
              this.startActivity(intent);
              break;  
  
         }
  
          return true;
      }
  
      return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }
  
  

Am I doing something wrong in my code which is why it is showing up as an error? Update:

The error message is this:

The constructor Intent(NavigationDrawerFragment, Class) is undefined
