title: Click button from method that is outside the oncreate in Android
body: <p>The following is a basic striped down overview of one of my projects. I would like for a method outside of the oncreate to be able to click a button that is declaired in the oncreate but i cannot figure out how.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code: I would like to be able to <code>performClick()</code> the <code>webButton</code> from the method <code>clickButton()</code> but it does not work. If that is not possible i would atleast like to know how to start the intent that is trying to be started when the button is clicked from instide the <code>clickButton()</code> method.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance!!</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class cphome extends Activity {
      static final int check =111;
      /** Called when the activity is first created. */
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          setContentView(R.layout.main);
  
           final Button webButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
          webButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
  
                @Override
                public void onClick(View view) {
                    Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), web.class);
                    startActivity(myIntent);
                }
  
              });
  
  
  
  
  
      }
      public void clickbutton(){
          webButton.performClick();
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
