"setOnClicklistener" not working in Android Studio 3.5

I am new to Android Programming and I am making a simple browser in which I want to open my web activity by clicking the button but I am amazed to see that setOnClicklistener is not available in Android Studio 3.5 as I have just updated

Access/init Your button inside onCreate() method.

private Button btn; @Override public void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState, @Nullable PersistableBundle persistentState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState, persistentState); setContentView(R.layout.home_search_layout); btn = findViewById(R.id.someId); setClickListener(); } private void setClickListener() { btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { } }); }

You need to put the setOnClickListener in one of the activity callbacks. In your onCreate() method, move the button there and then setOnClickListener().

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.filters); Button button = findViewById(R.id.google); button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { //TODO() } }
}

All the functional elements' code is to be initialized in the activity's onCreate() method. Since you want to make a button clickable, you need to add the setOnClickListener() in the onCreate() method, like so:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_selectionactivity); Button button = findViewById(R.id.google); //this id should be of a button not a view button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { //TODO do something } }
}

I highlighted some text because from the image, you can see that the 9^th that you get from the code completion menu is the setOnClickListener but the parent is from the group android.view.View but not from android.widget.Button. Make sure, that R.id.google is a Button and also put the code inside onCreate()
