Answer 1

Please rename onClick method to anything other than that, Android thinks you are calling the internal onClick from View.java exposed via OnClickListener interface

and in your Activity

public class StartActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
           setContentView(R.layout.activity_start);
        }

        public void myOnClick(View v) {
          Log.d("DEBUG", "CLICKED " + v.getId());
        }
}
