Question

I’m just starting out in android and I have my MainActivity class which has a void in there ‘addItem’ which I want to move to a different class each time I delete the void the app force closes

How do I remove the void without it interfering with the operation of the app? I have searched the path of the project and cant find any references to it so I’m at a loss as to why it’s not working.

I’m using IntelliJ on windows 7 if that helps

*UPDATE*

A bit more detail, there isn’t much in the app at the moment; here is the ActivityMain:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuInflater;
import android.view.MenuItem;


public class ActivityMain extends Activity {
    /**
     * Called when the activity is first created.
     */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.layout_main);


    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
        inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    public void addItem(MenuItem menuItem) {



    }

I have created another class that is going to have the addItem void in it, but when I delete it from here and try to run the app it stops

Here is the logcat error

Answer 1

Found it

      android:onClick="addItem"

In the menu_main.xml file needed to be removed
