What's wrong with my syntax?

Question

Eclipse is giving me many errors for one specific line of code says:

Multiple markers at this line

- Syntax error, insert ")" to complete 
 ConstructorDeclaration
- Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody
- Syntax error, insert ";" to complete 
 ConstructorDeclaration
- Syntax error, insert ";" to complete Statement
- Syntax error, insert ")" to complete 
 MethodInvocation

The line is:

setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(); {

and on a different line i get errors

Multiple markers at this line

- Syntax error on token ")", delete 
 this token
- Syntax error on token "(", ; expected

for line: public void onClick(View v); {

Heres activity2.java:

package android.app;
import android.app.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class activity2 extends Activity{
 /** Called when the activity is first created. */
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 setContentView(R.layout.main2);
 Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Back);
 next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 public void onClick(View view) {
 Intent intent = new Intent();
 setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
 finish();
 }
 Button sound = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sound);
 setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(); {
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v); {
 MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(TestSonido.this, R.raw.whippingsound); 
 mp.start();
 }
 }
 ;
 ;
}}

• Hovercraft Full Of Eels: What are you trying to do there? Perhaps you want to get rid of the semicolon by changing View.OnClickListener(); { to View.OnClickListener() { You're also missing the closing parenthesis. You need to count opening and closing parenthesis to be sure that they match.

Answer 1

This:

 setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(); {
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v); {
 MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(TestSonido.this, R.raw.whippingsound); 
 mp.start();
 }
 }

should be this:

 setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 @Override
 public void onClick(View v) {
 MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(TestSonido.this, R.raw.whippingsound); 
 mp.start();
 }
 })

(no semicolon before the contents of the inner class; and, yes right-parenthesis at end of function call).

• I82Much: You will need a semicolon to end the statement.
• ruakh: @I82Much: There is one. (That semicolon is on a separate line in the original code, so I left it there.)
• user1148715: setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { is still requesting semi colon?? @ruakh

Answer 2

setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(); {

=>

setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
