I am unable to implement the setOnClickListener() for my button

Question

I am trying to create an SQL database in Android. I am currently following an online tutorial but every time I try to add an OnClickListener for my button I get the following error message...

The method setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener) in the type View is not applicable for the arguments(SqlExample).

In the quick fix eclipse allows me to implement an OnClickListener however I end up with the following import "public class SqlExample extends Activity implements OnClickListener, android.view.View.OnClickListener".... Is this correct? It is something I have never seen before.

Answer 1

Add thiss line import android.view.View.OnClickListener; to the import section.

private final OnClickListener yourButtonClickListener = new OnClickListener()
{

    @Override
    public void onClick(final View v)
    {

        //Your code

    }
};

Answer 2

Change your code according to this sort of pattern.

// NAME OF THE ANDROID COMPONENT. REPLACE WITH BUTTON
Button mybutton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.mybtnid);
mybutton.setOnClickListener(new View.setOnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) {
          // PLACE YOUR CLICK CODE HERE..
}

});

This works!

In Eclipse, do Ctrl+Shift+O for any such things and all imports will be automatically added.
