java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a method onClick(View)

Question

Hi I'm new to android programming and I can't figure out my error. Iv' been trying this since yesterday it executes correctly when I put it after I click Play on my activity_thesis.xml but in the menu.xml it shows this error on logcat and it shows a message box that says "The application Droid(process.com.sample.droid) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." here's my code

Menu.java

public class Menu extends Activity 
{

Button beginner, learner;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle MenuButtons) 
{
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    super.onCreate(MenuButtons);
    setContentView(R.layout.menu);

    beginner = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnBeginner);
    learner = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnLearner);

    beginner.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            setContentView(R.layout.beginner);
        }
    });
    learner.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) 
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            setContentView(R.layout.gameplay);
        }
    });
}   
}

Remove this line of code from your Menu.xml

 android:onClick="onClick"

What you have done wrong is you have created object of Button also and have setOnclicklistener to it , in this way you have created a listener twice. Either add

public void onClick(View v){

}

in your activity file and use it using

android:onClick="onClick"

or use the one already you are using. but only use a single way to handle click listener.
