I'm pretty sure that you can use the activity's class as long as it implements View.OnClickListener() That's how I've been doing it for awhile now and how I've seen it in at least one of the beginning android books I've read.
I can't recall offhand if android:debuggable was set to true but breakpoints have been working and I didn't specifically check to change that attribute so I assume right now that it works. Also when you say debug log are you referring to the output of adb logcat? Because yes I've been using that and nothing came up when I clicked on the button. I figured it out in the end though. I had an onResume() in my activity for when I returned to that activity and reloaded info on it. The 3 other buttons on that page had their onclicklisteners set again in there but not the fourth button that I just added. I didn't know that onResume was run when an activity was first started. I thought it was just when the activity was brought back into the foreground. I also didn't realise that once the onResume was run it would somehow 'forget' the previous time that the listener was set in onCreate(). So I just set it a second time in onResume() and it worked.
