Cannot convert from View to Button

Question

Very frustrating problem I have here. I have this code:

Button b = findViewById(android.R.id.button1);

And I\'m getting this error on it:

Answer 1

remove android.R from packages and import your R.

import com.companyname.productname.R;

and change also button refrence

Button b = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Answer 2

You need to cast the view to Button:

Button b = (Button) findViewById(android.R.id.button1);

More details at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/subclasses.html

In addition, as answered by others, the id is wrong.

Answer 3

Your mistake is here-Button b = findViewById(android.R.id.button1);

Replace the above line by findViewById(R.id.button1);
