I'm starting with Scala + Android. I'm trying to wire a button action to a button without the activity implementing View.OnClickListener.

The button click fails at runtime because the method cannot be found. The document I'm working through says that I need only declare a public void method taking a View on the action, and use that method name in the layout.

What have I done wrong?

MainActivity.scala

package net.badgerhunt.hwa

import android.app.Activity
import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.Button
import android.view.View
import java.util.Date

class MainActivity extends Activity {
  override def onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle) = {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.main)
  }
  def calculate(button: View): Unit = println("calculating with %s ...".format(button))
}

res/layout/main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/button"
    android:text=""
    android:onClick="calculate"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

the failure onclick
