I learn from
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Button.html
that "instead of applying an OnClickListener to the button in your activity, you can assign a method to your button in the XML layout, using the android:onClick attribute."
However, I can only get it done with the XML approach, my Listener approach, specified by the following, leads to app crash.
In my fragment_main.xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.myapp.MainActivity$PlaceholderFragment" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello_world" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/try_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text = "TryButton"
android:onClick="onClick"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
In my activity_main.xml:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.myapp.MainActivity"
tools:ignore="MergeRootFrame">
</FrameLayout>
And in my MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.try_button);
button.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "I'm clicked!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();;
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container,
false);
return rootView;
}
}
}
The LogCat says:

I'm using latest Eclipse ADT v22.6.2 on Windows 7, running on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014.
What's wrong with my code?
