this is my source code

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World!"
android:id="@+id/textView" />
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="14dp"
android:id="@+id/button"
tools:onClick="topClick" />
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/button"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="14dp"
android:id="@+id/button2"
tools:onClick="bottomClick" />
and for my java methods;
public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.my_layout);
//Testing the Toast and Log in action
Toast.makeText(this, "Can you see me?", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i("info", "Done creating the app");
}
//creating method topclick
public void topClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Top button clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i("info", "The user clicked the top button");
}
//creating method bottomclick
public void bottomClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Bottom button clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.i("info", "the user clicked the bottom button");
}
}
Replace
tools:onClick
with
android:onClick
for both buttons.
For more context that will help you understand why this change is required, read up on the tools
namespace:
Android Studio supports a variety of XML attributes in the tools namespace that enable design-time features (such as which layout to show in a fragment) or compile-time behaviors (such as which shrinking mode to apply to your XML resources). When you build your app, the build tools remove these attributes so there is no effect on your APK size or runtime behavior.
