    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_start);
    bSMS = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);


    bSMS.setOnClickListener(this);

}

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    switch (arg0.getId()) {

        case R.id.button:        //"Block SMSs" button pressed
            startActivity(new Intent(this,secret_main.class));
            break;

    }
}

}

Answer 2

XML : android:onClick="onclickid"

Activity :

public void onclickid(View view)
  {
 //Do something When the button is click
  }

This Should Help, But i suggest to use onclicklistener

Answer 3

Try this:

public class MainActivity extends Activity  {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
    }

    //Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.try_button);      
    //button.setOnClickListener(this);
}

/**
public void onClick(View v) {

}
*/

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {

    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
    int id = item.getItemId();
    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
        return true;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

/**
 * A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
 */
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment implements OnClickListener {

public PlaceholderFragment() {
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container,
            false);

  Button button = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.try_button);      
  button.setOnClickListener(this);

    return rootView;
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "I'm clicked!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

}
}

You don't need implement OnClickListener, because your button execute the method automatically.

Edit:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private OnClickListener onClickListener;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
    }
    initListener();//Initializing Listener.
    Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.try_button);
    //This command causes problem
    button.setOnClickListener(onClickListener);
}

private void initListener(){
         onclickListener = new OnClickListener() {
               @Override
                public void onClick(View view) {
                      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                      "Button Clicked",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
         };
}

Quit the Onclick in your XML.

<Button
        android:id="@+id/try_button" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text = "TryButton"
    />

I've explained the different ways you can implement an OnClickListener on my blog: http://www.androiddevresources.com/guides/tutorial-how-to-implement-an-onclicklistener/

Basically there are three ways. - Implement the listener in the activity class (and set the xml attribute) - Create a variable in your activity class (or other class, for example a fragment). - Create a new listener in line with new OnClickListener().

I've added example code in the article and an example project on GitHub which you can download.
