Android button: onClick not working

Question

I have the following code in my main activity for an android application that I have been working on. For some reason, whenever I run the app it crashes! My activityMain.xml (a portion of it) is found below, as well as the onClick listener, and the log error.

<Button
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/calculate"
    android:id="@+id/button"
    android:textSize="20sp"
    android:onClick="calculateScore"
    android:layout_row="0"
    android:layout_column="0"/>

I have the following Java code in my main program class:

public void calculateScore(View view) {
    TextView totalScore = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.total);
    totalScore.setText(totalPoints);
}

And I get this error:

For some reason, it cant get to the onClick method. Any help would be much appriceated!

Answer 1

The onClick code is properly being executed.

The problem is totalPoints is an int , not text, so setText is looking for a string resource id, but it cannot find it.

 Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0xec
     at android.content.res.Resources.getText(Resources.java:1399)
     at android.widget.TextView.setText(TextView.java:4931)
     at org.alexwebber.frc.strongholdcalculator.MainActivity.calculateScore(MainActivity.java:44)

Please change your code to this

totalScore.setText("" + totalPoints);

Answer 2

I think you are passing integer value to setText method in calculateScore(). Try this ::

public void calculateScore(View view) {
    TextView totalScore = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.total);
    totalScore.setText(String.valueOf(totalPoints));
}
