Syntax error: java doesn't recognize a method

Question

I have imported all classes.

Here at sendMessage i recieve the error: void is an invalid type of the variable sendMessage.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    public void sendMessage(View view){

    }
}

You must not declare a method within another method. Close the curly bracket of onCreate before starting to declare the sendMessage method.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}// close onCreate method first

public void sendMessage(View view){
}

A java class is structured like this:

package
- class
  - field
  - method
    - no method declaration allowed within another method
  - (inner classes)
