I'm starting at java/android and I'm trying to do an App following a tutorial, but after editing the "CalcSimples.java" with some codes I got some erros:

}

I think it's simple to solve, but i can't figure out where is the error.

Thanks for the help.

Edit:

After making some tests, I've figured out where is the error:

btSomar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        num1 = Double.parseDouble(etNum1.getText().toString());
        num2 = Double.parseDouble(etNum2.getText().toString());
        resultado = num1 + num2;
        etResultado.setText(String.valueOf(resultado));
    }
});

But still I don't know what's the problem with the code, I've uncommented the line

setContentView(R.layout.activity_calc_simples);

But the result is the same.

Answer 1

You cannot run

etNum1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etNumero1);
etNum2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etNumero2);
etResultado = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etResultado);
btSomar = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btSoma);

before you set your view, which you commented out just above. Uncomment out that view, and assuming these EditTexts/Buttons are placed properly, it should work.

Answer 2

Is R.id.btSoma defined in activity_calc_simples? You need to make

setContentView(R.layout.activity_calc_simples); 

But make sure you are inflating the correct layout. btSome must be defined in activity_calc_simples or, you must setContentView(R.layout.some_other_layout); in which btSome is defined.

Answer 3

In the onCreate() method chnage all this.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_calc_simples);
    if (savedInstanceState == null) {
        getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
                .commit();
    }
}

An your static PlaceHolder class update like this.

   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_calc_simples, container, false);

    etNum1 = (EditText) rootView.findViewById(R.id.etNumero1);
    etNum2 = (EditText) rootView.findViewById(R.id.etNumero2);
    etResultado = (EditText) rootView.findViewById(R.id.etResultado);
    btSomar = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.btSoma);

    btSomar.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            num1 = Double.parseDouble(etNum1.getText().toString());
            num2 = Double.parseDouble(etNum2.getText().toString());
            resultado = num1 + num2;
            etResultado.setText(String.valueOf(resultado));
        }
    });
    return rootView;
    }

}

Lo que sucede es lo siguiente, en tu actividad estas haciendo referencia a los componentes como el EditText, Botones y demas, pero estos ya no se encuentran en el layout de la actividad, al parecer moviste esos componentes al layout del fragment. Entonces tienes que mover el codigo donde inicializabas los elementos del activity al fragment.
