Answer 1

As reported by @Jorge B. , I believe there’s another mistake besides this!

According to the documentation:

For this to work, the method must be public and accept a View as its only parameter.

So try it this way:

package view;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;

import com.example.seradmin.apptools.R;
import com.google.android.gms.appindexing.Action;
import com.google.android.gms.appindexing.AppIndex;
import com.google.android.gms.appindexing.Thing;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.GoogleApiClient;
// add View
import android.view.View;

public class Tools extends Activity {


     public void call_Reiniciar(View tools) {}
     public void call_Desligar(View tools){}
     public void call_Sair(View tools){}


}

Answer 2

The error is in the XML of the first button "Hang up":

android:onClick="java.view.Tools (call_Desligar)"

should be

android:onClick="call_Desligar"

---

If you analyze the error well it says everything:

java.lang.Illegalstateexception: Could not find method java.view.Tools (call_Desligar)(View) in a Parent or Ancestor Context for android:onClick attribute defined on view class android.widget.Button with id 'btnDesligar'

Answer 3

Try to use this code:

The problem is in onClick, you are set to: "java.view.Tools (call_Desligar)" or you are leaving spaces in the text.
