Can't find method in the activity
- by Synesso
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
