onclick ()  From View.OnClickListener. This is called when the user clicks a button or any item.

onLongClick () From View.OnLongClickListener. This is called when the user clicks the long press of a button or other item.

Syntax Examples of Event Handling is applied to the class java.

Button button= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View view) {
             TextView myText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
              myText.setText("Challenge 2 Completed !");
