Check your android manifest.xml file. The starting activity should be "Test". just check it out.
ReplyDeleteIs this possible for web pages?
ReplyDeleteyour code error line is :b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
ReplyDeleteapart from that try this : b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
hi sivakrishna.
ReplyDeleteb.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() will also work because i have imported only one class having the name "OnClickListener".
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
But, You said is also right.
