You are missing the toolbar in your activity.
Try adding it to the xml of your activity:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
... />
And then setting it as the toolbar:
setSupportActionBar(findViewById(R.id.toolbar))

xml layout loads but my activity doesn't respond to button clicks

I'm new at this but I already made a small app that worked the same way.
I can't see what I'm doing wrong because the code looks quiet the same as my previous app.
When I run it or debug my app it shows my layout on my emulator so it does load the page that has to be loaded but that's all it does, it doesn't listen to button clicks. I also gives me no errors.
Here's my XML code for fragment_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Thanks in advance!

Fixed it by making a new project with the same code, had to be a problem way deeper than my code.

Android ImageButton onClick

I have problem with button in activity_main.xml,
I need to launch by click on "imageButton8" a webView (website URL) in application.

//Empêcher le téléphone de passer en mode veille
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
//When User click on the button imageButton8 the Activity2 launch
Button imageButton8 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.imageButton8);
setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(v.getContext(), Activity2.class);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
});
}
private void setOnClickListener(OnClickListener onClickListener) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
//loads RETURN URL on lastpage
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if(this.view.canGoBack())
{
this.view.goBack();
} else {
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_alert)
.setTitle("إغلاق تطبيق جمعية البر و التعاون")

{
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {

In the same project,
2. Others Issues: I have 08 buttons. How do I execute each button in its template xml?
For example: Button 1 => about_obama.xml. When user click (in this file) it will find the description of obama.
Button 2 => ....xml...etc!
Button 3......

You need to set the onclickListener for the ImageButton using the ImageButton's setOnClickListener() method. So, in your MainActivity, inside your onCreate() method, do the following:
Button imageButton8 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.imageButton8);
// Set the OnClickListener on the button itself
imageButton8.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Activity2.class); // Use the MainActivity context
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
});
// You should delete the private setOnClickListener() method as it does not
// have any purpose
To specify the onClick() in the xml when the Button is clicked, set the:
android:onClick:"some_method"
property for your button. Then declare and define this method in your Activity.

You do not invoke your custom private class
Change
webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
to
webView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());

layout elements not showing up

I have two activities and the first is generating properly however the second is not. only the first element in the xml file will show up. here is my xml file:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/alternateActivity"
android:shadowColor="#color/shadowColor"></TextView>
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/oldActivityButton"
android:text="#string/oldActivityButton"></Button>
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/changeText"
android:text="#string/changeTextButton"></Button>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/originalText"
android:id="#+id/textToChange"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>
and here is my activity that corresponds:
package fsg.dev.activitytest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class newActivity extends Activity {
private Button oldActivityButton;
private Button changeText;
private TextView textToChange;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.alternate);
oldActivityButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.oldActivityButton);
changeText = (Button) findViewById(R.id.changeText);
textToChange = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textToChange);
oldActivityButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View view){
changeActivity();
}
});
changeText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View view){
changeText();
}
});
}
private void changeActivity(){
Intent i = new Intent(this, activityTest.class);
startActivity(i);
}
private void changeText(){
if(textToChange.equals(R.string.originalText)){
textToChange.setText(R.string.newText);
} else {
textToChange.setText(R.string.originalText);
}
}
}
has anyone else seen this problem? or know of a way to fix it?

Try to add android:orientation="vertical" to your LinearLayout

replace
Intent i = new Intent(this, activityTest.class);
by
Intent i = new Intent().setClass(this, activityTest.class);
