Just check your code in  java class  You had written below line   mybtn setOnClickListener this     before initializing the mybtn object I mean  mybtn    Button findViewById R id mybtn     just switch this two line or put that line  mybtn setOnClickListener this   after initializing your mybtn object and you will get the answer what you want

You can do like this    String hello  public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState        setContentView R layout main       super onCreate savedInstanceState        mybtn    Button findViewById R id mybtn       txtView  TextView findViewById R id txtView       txtwidth    TextView findViewById R id viewwidth       hello  This is my first project         mybtn setOnClickListener this     public void onClick View view       txtView setText hello       Check your textview names  Both are same   You must use different object names and you have mentioned that textview object which is not available in your xml layout file  Hope this will help you

This is because you DON T associated the OnClickListener   on the button retrieve from the XML layout   You don t need to create object because they are already created by the Android system when you inflate XML file  with the Activity setContentLayout  int resourceLayoutId   method    Just retrieve them with the findViewById      method
