how to add button click event in android studio

Question

SetOnClickListener (Android.View.view.OnClickListener) in View cannot be applied to (com.helloandroidstudio.MainActivity)

This means in other words (due to your current scenario) that your MainActivity need to implement OnClickListener:

public class Main extends ActionBarActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
   // do your stuff
}

This:

buttonname.setOnClickListener(this);

means that you want to assign listener for your Button "on this instance" -> this instance represents OnClickListener and for this reason your class have to implement that interface.

It's similar with anonymous listener class (that you can also use):

buttonname.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View view) {

   }
});

Button button= (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonId);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
    // click handling code
   }
});

package com.mani.smsdetect;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {

    //Declaration Button
    Button btnClickMe;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //Intialization Button

        btnClickMe = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnClickMe);

        btnClickMe.setOnClickListener(MainActivity.this);
        //Here MainActivity.this is a Current Class Reference (context)
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        //Your Logic
    }
}

When you define an OnClickListener (or any listener) this way

btnClick.setOnClickListener(this);

you need to implement the OnClickListener in your Activity.

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnClickListener{

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnClickListener

Whenever you use (this) on click events, your main activity has to implement ocClickListener. Android Studio does it for you, press alt+enter on the 'this' word.

package com.mani.helloworldapplication;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton;
import android.support.design.widget.Snackbar;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {
    //Declaration
    TextView tvName;
    Button btnShow;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        //Empty Window
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //Load XML File
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //Intilization
        tvName = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvName);
        btnShow = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnShow);

        btnShow.setOnClickListener(this);

    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v)
    {
        String name = tvName.getText().toString();
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,name,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

Start your OnClickListener, but when you get to the first set up parenthesis, type new, then View, and press enter. Should look like this when you're done:

Button btn1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

btn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {            
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
//your stuff here.
    }
});
