Could not find method in parent or ancestor context
I've been dealing with this problem for awhile and have looked at all the relevant questions I could find, such as: this one, this one, and this one. Could you help me correct this error? It's the only one being thrown by the logcat.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find method playPauseMusic(View) in a parent or

Defining onClick
in xml
means you need to define it for a particular view here is ImageButton
you can not have two arguments in that method.
Your error is also saying that Could not find method playPauseMusic(View) means compiler needs a public method with single parameter View
, whereas you were having two parameters: View
& ImageButton
.
This is the reason why you where getting that error. Just remove one argument from the method and it will work.
Do it like this :
public class radio extends AppCompatActivity {
/** Called when the user touches the button */
public void playPauseMusic (View playPause) {
String url = "http://streamer.cci.utk.edu:8000/wutk-vorbis"; // your URL here
final MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer){
mediaPlayer.start();
}
});
if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
mediaPlayer.pause();
((ImageButton)playPause).setImageResource(R.drawable.play1);
} else {
((ImageButton)playPause).setImageResource(R.drawable.pause1);
}
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
}
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_radio);
}
}
One more thing writing android:onClick="playPauseMusic"
means the method playPauseMusic
will be called on Button click so you have already defined a button click so no need to define it inside the method by playPause.setOnClickListener
so I have removed that code.
Your code possibly should start with:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_radio);
}
You're specifying onClick in xml
android:onClick="playPauseMusic"
So, the method works, you've got inner onClicks too. If they are some views.
You gotta initialize and get it from the xml in code, for ex-
If you have ImageButton in xml, whose id is "playPause"
ImageButton playPause; //Declare it here if you wanna use it in all other places in the class or outside of your class
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_radio);
playPause = (ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.playPause);
playPause.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View view) {
//OnCLick Stuff
}
});
}
In Your case, you've got onClick attribute in xml and another onCLick in code. You Use one.
