Code issue Android Studio

Question

I'm trying to run an app but while compiling I get this errors:

MainFragment.java:62: error: <identifier> expected
newButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
 ^ 
MainFragment.java:62: error: illegal start of type
newButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
 ^
MainFragment.java:62: error: ')' expected
newButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
 ^ 
MainFragment.java:62: error: ';' expected
newButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
 ^
MainFragment.java:62: error: invalid method declaration; return type required
newButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
 ^

This is my code:

View newButton = rootView.findViewById(R.id.new_button);
newButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
 @Override
 public void onClick(View view)
 {
 Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), GameActivity.class);
 getActivity().startActivity(intent);
 }
});

I don't understand the problem, what is wrong with my code?

• Aditya: Post your full code.

Answer 1

Can you please try this:

 Button btn = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.new_button);
 btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
 @Override
 public void onClick(View arg0) {
 //Do whatever you want
 Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), GameActivity.class);
 getActivity().startActivity(intent);
 }
 });

or simple you can try by implementing OnClickListener:

 public class YourFragment extends Fragment implements OnClickListener{
 @Override
 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
 Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_fragment, container, false);
 Button btn = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.new_button);
 btn.setOnClickListener(this);
 return rootView;
}
@Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
 switch (v.getId()) {
 case R.id.new_button:
 //
 Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity(), GameActivity.class);
 getActivity().startActivity(intent);
 break;
 }
}

Hope this will help to solve your issue.

Answer 2

Check your braces and check wether you have returned the rootview properly.Please post you full ~onCreateView() ~ of you fragment

Answer 3

Change your reference type to button. The class View only provides the method onclickListener, by herself she doesn't have an implementation of it.

Button newButton = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.new_button);
