Automatically Generating java code for xml layout in Eclipse

I have got an idea to get rid of some coding when we do initializion of views.
When we create an xml layout in android. At that movement same name class is created with UpperCase Letters with a dialogue with permission. And as i created views with ids. It should create Views and initialize them automatically.
for e.g
close.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/closeBtn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/close_img" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/closeText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Testing Text" />
</LinearLayout>
And automatically generated java code should be.
public class Close extends Activity
{
TextView CloseText;
Button CloseBtn;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
CloseText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.closeText);
CloseBtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.closeBtn);
}
}
I can read xml and do the other stuff as I explained. But how could i add this module to eclipse and How could i create a service which work in Background all the time in eclipse.
Suggest me how to add this module(Plugin) to eclipse and i am going to use JAXB to generate Java Objects from XML document. Is there any better option.

Here in this website i find that just paste the xml and you will get your java code ready for activity class.

Gradle: No resource identifier found for attribute 'android.onClick' in package 'android

I just installed the new Android Studio and am having some trouble as I follow the android developer training guide (http://developer.android.com/training/index.html).
Each time I try to compile my code, I receive this error
"Gradle: No resource identifier found for attribute 'android.onClick' in package 'android'"
My initial search resulted in me checking my API level and capitalization of onClick (neither of which seem to be the issue) ((I also understand that using onClick is not best practice, but I am simply following the guide at this point))
Since receiving this error, I have tried manually reinstalling gradle.
Does anyone know what my issue is?
Also, code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText android:id="#+id/edit_message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#+string/edit_message" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/button_send"
android:android.onClick="sendMessage" />
</LinearLayout>

I suggest not to add button click listeners this way.
Button Click Listeners in Android
Check this out for more details. you can find plenty of resources on how to add buttons.
Generally i find it a good practice to add them through code as opposed to XML

try android:onClick="sendMessage"
In Activity, implement method public void sendMessage(View view);
You should add id to your view widget, and identify these views by id.

I agreed with DArkO. I had the same issue with Android Studio. When I use OnClickListener on my code, the issue has gone away.
On Activity.xml
<Button android:id="#+id/message_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/button_send"
/>
On Activity.java
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.message_button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
sendMessage();
}
});

fiewViewById not finding my button (Eclipse)

I downloaded latest ADT from the main website and it came with Eclipse. So, I set everything up fine > Start new Android project. Set my settings, and the Activity to "Blank Activity", click finish.
Now, I go to the visual editor and add a button and some text. The problem is, is that "findViewById" is not detecting the button for some reason. Yes, I "Cleaned" the project and all that..
Here's the xml portion:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/button1"
android:layout_marginTop="37dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:ems="10" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_marginTop="52dp"
android:text="#string/button" />
</RelativeLayout>
Here's my source code:
package com.example.tcp;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button ibtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); // Error
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}

Did you actually save the activity_main.xml? View ID's are not accessible to the rest of the project until you save the layout you're working on.
I copied and pasted your code straight into a blank project and it worked fine after saving.

Its just the basic error so clean your project and build again if its not work then restart eclipse and start once again it will display your button.In the same way you followed
don't even import R.java it will show you error..
so clean and build your project

In your TextView you have
android:layout_below="#+id/button1"
Delete the plus so you have
android:layout_below="#id/button1"
Also it's better when you move the code of the textview below the code of the button. The Relative layout will position it where it's supposed to be anyway. But this way you don't link to an id that doesn't exist yet.
You declare a id with the + in the id. So in your case you declare it twice.
(Also for furure reference when you post something on StackOverflow with an error. Please mention the error in all cases. It makes finding the error and helping you a lot easier.)

I looked at the R file and it was empty before I "ran" the project. After clicking "run" it added the id fields in the file. Seems to be working fine now. I guess it was actually a problem with the activity_main.xml not saving. Thanks again

Beginner Android why is "id" is "Unknown member" with R.id?

I'm sure this is something dead simple as it's my first android app with code (the hello world example I did was just assigning a value to a string in XML). My problem is when trying to get the reference for my button in my variable then the id as in R.id is not defined?
The compiler error is in a comment in the code below where it occurs:
package com.geeksonhugs.simplecalc;
import android.app.*;
import android.os.*;
import android.view.*;
import android.widget.*;
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
private Button AddButton;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
AddButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnAdd);
//"Unknown member 'id' of 'com.geeksonhugs.simplecalc.R'"
//AddButton.setOnClickListener(this);
}
}
XML layout file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/LayoutRoot"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtFirstNum"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="#string/strFirstNum" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtFirstNum"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtSecondNum"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="#string/strSecondNum" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtSecondNum"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnAdd"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="#string/strAdd"
android:gravity="center" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtResult"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:text="" />
</LinearLayout>

I resolved the issue by deleting the bin folder and recompiling using the AIDE App.

The R class is code-generated for you by the Android build tools when you build your project. This means there are four possibilities:
You have not tried building the project yet, in which case, try that.
Eclipse doesn't think it needs to build the project for some reason -- try Project > Clean from the Eclipse menu (only relevant if you are using Eclipse, of course).
There is some bug in your manifest or one of your resources that is preventing R from being built. There should be Eclipse error indicators for this.
You do not have an android:id attribute in your layout, and therefore there is no R.id available.

Please make sure the xml file you pasted is called main.xml and under layout folder.
And try to generate the R file again.
That may help.

For those using AIDE having issues referencing Id, try deleting the "gen folder" located in the bin folder and recompile. The problem is the R.java class did not create a constructor called Id. So deleting the gen folder containing the R.java class and recompiling solves this issue.

You must add id to a component in the XML file. Like this:
android:id="#+id/buton1"
Now can you click mainActivity.java and write code "R.id." you a see hint to write "buton1" and no error of "id"

Create Layout and test the changes on the emulator failed

i have the problem, that if i create a new layout and change the layout in the graphical layout for example add a button or a textfield to the layout, that the application can´t be installed on the emulated device. I get the unusable error "Failed to install *.apk on device 'emulator-5556': timeout
Launch canceled!".
If i remove the button or textfield then the emulator runs the application. I tested many things. I removed Eclipse and the Android SDK. Installed different Versions of the Eclipse Software (Classic, JAVAEE) and then installed the android SDK every time new. Nothing changed. I deleted the .android folder in my Windows Userprofile. But nothing changed.
What is wrong.
The Code of my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
the code of the Activity:
package de.androidpraxis.HelloAndroid;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class HelloAndroidActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.layout);
}
}
i hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
greetings
edit:
I found something out. I have a project with a standard layout and an folder for land-layout. If i delete the land-layout folder with the xml files in that the application runs in the emulator. How could i do it right without deleting the other folder?

> I get the unusable error "Failed to install *.apk on device 'emulator-5556':
> timeout Launch
this issue has nothing to do with your layout design.
this is a adb issue.
try executing this command from any terminal or console window
prior to installing your application
path/to/your/android-sdk/platform-tools/.adb kill-server

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
You can try this new layout xml file. And, you should notice that, this file name "layout.xml" and put it in layout folder. But, I don't think this is a problem, because when you don't do this will see error when compile
