Here's more to the code.

I've been stuck with this for 2 days now.

Have tried removing them brackets?

Yes. gives the same error

But somewhere else, if the brackets are removed. Most likely you have messed up brackets somwhere in your code. Indent everything properly and see whether you've got too many or missing brackets.

I don't see it. I'm very new to programming. Let me know if you can point it out to me.

Not without seeing all your code. These errors are nasty as the compiler could show a completely different line.

Here's the complete code.

add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

is broken, you've overridden onClick() twice. Copy that part from sub.setOnClickListener and it should be OK.
Please wrap your code in code tags: [code]code here [/code]

You mean I need to cut out onClick() from sub.setOnClickListener? I'm still not clear. If you could help me out again. Thank you for your responses. I appreciate it.

No, you just copy that part:

		add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 
			@Override
			public void onClick(View v) {
				// TODO Auto-generated method stub
				counter++;
				display.setText("Your total is " + counter);
			}
		});

Copy that part to? Could you post that part of the program where you want me to make the changes?

Man, that is the change.

Err. But where do I make the change. I don't mean to sound dumb, but I don't know what part of program you're talking about, and what exactly is the chane I'm supposed to make.

--- Update ---

I made the changes you asked me too. Now it selects 'pl' from the word display in the part of the code you asked me to change, and it gives the same error.

This is the code after corrections, and I still get the same error.

Please post the full text of the error message. Browsing all of that black and white text makes my old eyes cross.
