[java] How is using OnClickListener interface different via XML and Java code?

Difference between OnClick() event and OnClickListener?

I'm semi-new to Android development and when I first started I tried to avoid using the xml layout by any means necessary so some of my earlier projects involve buttons that explicitly create an OnClickListener and implement it as an anonymous inner class. Such as -

final Button button = new Button(this);
button.setText("Click to change second line of text");

OnClickListener buttonListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
    boolean clicked = false;
    int numClicks = 0;

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if(numClicks > 5) {
            button.setText("STOP IT");
        }
        numClicks++;
        if(clicked == false){
            clicked = true;
            tv2.setText("Text Changed on Button Click");    
        }
        else
        {
            clicked = false;
            tv2.setText("Click again");
        }       
    }
};
button.setOnClickListener(buttonListener);

But as I got more familiar with android, I began to understand the value of the xml layouts and implemented buttons like this

    <Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_height = "wrap_content"
    android:layout_width ="wrap_content"
    android:text = "lets do this"
    android:onClick = "DoIt"
    />

In the layout xml, where DoIt was defined in the java.

My question is, are these 2 methods functionally the same thing? Is there an OnClickListener being defined by the compiler somewhere behind the scenes? Are there any features you trade off by using one way or the other?

using XML, you need to set the onclick listener yourself. First have your class implements OnClickListener then add the variable Button button1; then add this to your onCreate()

button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(this);

when you implement OnClickListener you need to add the inherited method onClick() where you will handle your clicks

Even though you define android:onClick = "DoIt" in XML, you need to make sure your activity (or view context) has public method defined with exact same name and View as parameter. Android wires your definitions with this implementation in activity. At the end, implementation will have same code which you wrote in anonymous inner class. So, in simple words instead of having inner class and listener attachement in activity, you will simply have a public method with implementation code.
