how to add button click event in android studio

Question

So I have done some research, and after defining you button as an object by the code

private Button buttonname;
buttonname = (Button) findViewById(R.id.butto         


        

Answer 1

SetOnClickListener (Android.View.view.OnClickListener) in View cannot be applied to (com.helloandroidstudio.MainActivity)

This means in other words (due to your current scenario) that your MainActivity need to implement OnClickListener:

public class Main extends ActionBarActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
   // do your stuff
}

This:

buttonname.setOnClickListener(this);

means that you want to assign listener for your Button "on this instance" -> this instance represents OnClickListener and for this reason your class have to implement that interface.

It's similar with anonymous listener class (that you can also use):

buttonname.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View view) {

   }
});
