[FIXED] Java novice error Android Programming sendMessage method

Issue

so I started some Android programming with Java 7. I have Eclipse Juno (I think that's 4.2).

The problem is that it gives me an error "Multiple markers at this line - Syntax error on token ")", ; expected - Syntax error on token ")", ; expected

On the line with the sendMessage method. Here is the code:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {


int counter;
Button login; 
EditText username, password;
String success;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    counter = 0;

    username = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.getEmail);
    password = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.getPassword);        

    login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {       
        public void onClick (View v) {
            if(username.getText().toString().equals("admin") && password.getText().toString().equals("admin")){
                success = "Successful";
                counter = 0;
                public void sendMessage (View view){
                    Intent intent = new Intent("com.example.linked1n.SCREENAFTLOG");
                    startActivity(intent);
                };
            } else {
                    counter++;
                    login.setText("Unsuccessful. Try again. " + 3-counter + " tries left.");
            }   
        }   
    });



}

I haven't found a solution anywhere and I did exactly as the tutorial told me. I tried to clean the project thrice and restart eclipse/computer nothing worked.

Solution

Your calling method inside onclick is wrong so try below way :-

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    counter = 0;

    username = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.getEmail);
    password = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.getPassword);        

    login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {       
        public void onClick (View v) {
            if(username.getText().toString().equals("admin") && password.getText().toString().equals("admin")){
                success = "Successful";
                counter = 0;
               sendMessage(v);
            } else {
                    counter++;
                    login.setText("Unsuccessful. Try again. " + 3-counter + " tries left.");
            }   
        }   
    });

 public void sendMessage (View view){
                        Intent intent = new Intent("com.example.linked1n.SCREENAFTLOG");
                        startActivity(intent);
                    }
