错误：java.lang.IllegalStateException：无法执行android：onClick的方法

Question

I'm new here and also new to android development, just started learning, covered a few concepts and started working on my first app, but sigh, errors errors everywhere. I googled but didn't find a solution I could understand, maybe because I'm new and the other stack overflow pages I saw had overwhelming code and solutions

On my first app I was trying to build, errors started right away.

Here is my log:

</RelativeLayout>

And the java file:

    package com.example.android.cricketcounter;

    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.TextView;

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        }

        int runs = 0;

        public void runsScored(int runsa) {
            TextView scoreView = (TextView) findViewById(runs);
            scoreView.setText(String.valueOf(runsa));
        }

        public void addSix(View v) {
            runs = runs + 6;
            runsScored(runs);
        }

}

Note: The java file is still incomplete, but enough to make one of the buttons work

Answer 1

NullPointerException occurred here:

TextView scoreView = (TextView) findViewById(runs);

in findViewById,the parameter should be the id of Textview and it should be used as follows

TextView scoreView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.runs);
