XML

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    </application>

</manifest>

PHP SCript being used is

<?php
// get the "message" variable from the post request
// this is the data coming from the Android app
$message=$_POST["message"]; 
// specify the file where we will save the contents of the variable message
$filename="androidmessages.html";
// write (append) the data to the file
file_put_contents($filename,$message."<br />",FILE_APPEND);
// load the contents of the file to a variable
$androidmessages=file_get_contents($filename);
// display the contents of the variable (which has the contents of the file)
echo $androidmessages;
?>

send method need to be the method of MainActivity. your code isn't.

More specifically, instead of being a method of the Activity class it's a method of the inner AsyncTask class as the bracket closing the inner class comes after it rather than before. Moving the bracket should fix it. – Chris Stratton Jul 18 '14 at 19:55

The issue is you have defined a onClick attribute for the Button in your layout. But there is no implementation in the Activity class.
