What is the difference between using a onClickListner and onClick XML attribute ?

Why should i use onClickListner for Buttons in Android instead of creating an onClick XML attribute and using the value of that atribute to create java method which in turn works the same as onClickListners. I find XML onClick attribute simple and easy because I haven't cleared the concept of anonymous classes in java.

WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF USING ONE WAY OVER ANOTHER ?

Hey Bijay! Ultimately there's just not a lot of difference between the two. Feel free to keep using the XML attribute :)
