    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);}


    public void login_Click(View v) {;
Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Screenmap.class);
startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);


    }

    public void onClick(View v) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

;

}

Screenmap.java

import android.app.Activity;


public class Screenmap extends Activity {

@Override

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.screenmap);

The Exception seems to be clear:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a method sendMessage(View) in the activity class com.dev.chicagotraintracker.MainActivity `

The error is because you have mentioned android:onClick="sendMessage" in the ImageButton defined in activity_main.xml, but you don't have any sendMessage() function in your MainActivity. That is why you are getting the error . You need to define that function in the MainActivity which tell it what should happen when the ImageButton is clicked. So the code which should execute on button click, inside that function.

Eg: If you want to start a new activity on Button click do something like: 

public void sendMessage(View v){ 

    Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Screenmap.class);   
    startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0); 

}

Put this piece of code outside the onCreate() and as a different function.

you must implement a method in your activity with name sendMessage as your logcat says

something like this in Your MainActivity.java

public void sendMessage(View)
{
\\ do your stuff
}

and also your next error would be because of this

 <activity android:name="Screenmap" android:label="Screenmap"></activity>

it should be like this

 <activity android:name=".Screenmap" android:label="Screenmap"></activity>

OR

<activity android:name="com.dev.chicagotraintracker.Screenmap" android:label="Screenmap">
</activity>

do not forget android:name=".Screenmap" "." before activity name that makes full path of class

Your activity_main.xml specifies that when the ImageButton is clicked, it should call the sendMessage method, however, you have not created a sentMessage method in your activity.

When you implement the method as public void sendMessage(View view){ // code } in your main activity, it's also important to note that the View parameter is a reference to the ImageButton that was clicked.
