It is the right way to do it, only you messed up the names. If you have two Buttons in your layout (yes and no), you set an onClickListener on one of them calling <buttonName>.setOnClickListener(...);, so in this case yes.setOnClickListener(...). Also I would suggest renaming your Buttons in the code to bYes and bNo or something like that so you know it is a Button. And yes, it is the right section :good:

Dont you also have to declare the buttons with
Button yes = (Button)findViewById(R.id.byes);

If you do it this way, "yes" is only declared in the scope of the onCreate method. It is possible, but for views which sit in memory anyway it's more convenient to have the those delared as instance variables like he did above, right below the class declaration.

Dude I think u Have Interchanged the functions of Button yes and Button no.

yes = (Button)findViewByID(R.id.byes);
no = (Button)findViewByID(R.id.bno);

yes.setonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
});


no.setonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}
});


Also Just For the sake of testing you can add a toast message as below

yes.setonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast t = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"YES Pressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
}
});


no.setonClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast t = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"NO Pressed",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
}
});

Also Check the activity_starting_point.xml file if you have messed with the Button IDs.'

Hit Thanks If I have Helped you ......

You don't have to cast to Button class in this particular case, View has already defined method "setOnClickListener".
And yes, you better declare field to keep reference and avoid additional findViewById() calls.
