Illegal start of expression?
- by Fraser
I'm trying to build a simple Android app that increments a number displayed every time a button is pressed, but I can't work out how to fix the "illegal start of expression" error I keep getting.
My code:
package com.clicker;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Clicker extends Activity
{
private int clickerNumber = 0;
private TextView clickerText;
private Button clickerButton;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
clickerText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.clickerText);
final Button clickerButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.clickerButton);
clickerButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener());
{
public void onClick();
{
clickerNumber = clickerNumber++;
clickerText.setText(Integer.toString(clickerNumber));
}
}
}
}
And compiler output:
compile:
