Android - IllegalStateException - Could not find a method startRhythmandAnimation in the activity class

Question

I can't understand why I'm getting this error message. My method IS in the activity class and the spelling is correct.

You need to include a single View parameter for the system to find your method:

public void startRhythmandAnimation (View view)
