Question

I have just a little problem
in my layout

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:weightSum="1">

    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/startLogo"
    android:layout_height="230dp"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:background="@drawable/whatelsecomics"
    android:layout_width="230dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"/>

</LinearLayout>

in my activity I have

public class WhatelsecomicsActivity extends Activity {

    private ImageButton whatelsecomics;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.main); // your layout file name

       whatelsecomics = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.startLogo); // your image button

    // click event on your button
    whatelsecomics.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent wecSeriesList = new Intent(WhatelsecomicsActivity.this, wecSeriesListActivity.class);
            //Start next activity
            WhatelsecomicsActivity.this.startActivity(wecSeriesList);
        }
    });
}

}

Anyone can say me why?

If you’re using Eclipse, click Project->Clean... (and rebuild it if you don’t have it automatically doing so). The usual cause of problems like this is the R file isn’t properly generated so that rebuilds the project to generate it again.
