ANDROID INTENTION FATAL ERROR!!! java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not execute method for android:onClick

Question

This is my first question at stackoverflow, so please help me if I'm doing anything wrong/improper.

I trying to create a basic practice app to call an activity (activity2) from activity1 using implicit intention. But for some reason I have this error driving me nuts:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not execute method for android:onClick.

Here is the code for activity1:

public class FirstActivity extends Activity {
private final String CLASS_NAME = "FirstActiviy";
private int request_Code = 1;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.firstactivity);
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onCreate invoked!" );
}

public void onStart(){
    super.onStart();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onStart invoked!" );
}

public void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onPause invoked!!" );
}

public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onResume invoked!!" );
}

public void onStop(){
    super.onStop();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onStop invoked!!!" );
}

public void onDestroy(){
    super.onDestroy();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onDestroy INVOKED!!!" );
}

public void onRestart(){
    super.onRestart();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onRestart invoked!!" );
}


// event handler for the button (activity 2)
public void onClick(View view) {

    startActivity(new Intent("com.seneca.lab2b.abbas"));

}

// event handler for a button (activity 3)
public void onClick3(View view) {

    startActivity( new Intent( this, ThirdActivity.class ) );

}
}

Here is the error log:

And the layout xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

<Button
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/display"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:onClick="onClick"/>

<Button
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/display3"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:onClick="onClick3"/>
</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

Thanks a lot for that, but as i stated in my initial question i want something like this: "The event handler should use an implicit intent to invoke the SecondActivity class from FirstActivity. The action name used by the intent filter should be “com.seneca.lab2b.. "

Answer 2

Your xml like that :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/display"
    android:textSize="20sp"/>

<Button
android:id="@+id/button2"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/display3"
    android:textSize="20sp"/>
</LinearLayout>

Your Java class:

public class FirstActivity extends Activity {
private final String CLASS_NAME = "FirstActiviy";
private int request_Code = 1;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.firstactivity);
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onCreate invoked!" );
    b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    b2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
    b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

             startActivity(newIntent(FirstActivity.this,ThirdActivity.class));
            }
        });

b2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {

             startActivity(newIntent(FirstActivity.this,ThirdActivity.class));
            }
        });
}

public void onStart(){
    super.onStart();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onStart invoked!" );
}

public void onPause(){
    super.onPause();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onPause invoked!!" );
}

public void onResume(){
    super.onResume();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onResume invoked!!" );
}

public void onStop(){
    super.onStop();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onStop invoked!!!" );
}

public void onDestroy(){
    super.onDestroy();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onDestroy INVOKED!!!" );
}

public void onRestart(){
    super.onRestart();
    Log.d( CLASS_NAME, "onRestart invoked!!" );
}
}

Answer 3

In some device xml onclick method not working because new version of android it's not support onclick(view). So remove in xml and create onclick in JAVA class.
