Button onClick error…Could not find a method

Question

I can\'t seem to start a new Activity from my Button, I have searched here for answers, but can\'t seem to resolve the problem. I hope someone has

Answer 1

First make a reference to your button

    search = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnStartSearch);

Then implement the onClick listner for the button as below

        search.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

             Intent openSearchIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, StartSearch.class);
             startActivity(openSearchIntent)
        }
    });

Make sure you remove this line from your XML file

 android:onClick="openSearch"
