on line 43, you call this:

super (p0, p1, p2, p3);

meaning, you are trying to invoke the constructor of the super class (being Button) with those parameters.
those arguments are of the type(s):
android.content.Context p0, android.util.AttributeSet p1, int p2, int p3

as the stacktrace says: Button does not have a constructor that accepts those parameters.

so what to do?

remove that super call, or replace it with arguments for a constructor that does exist.

the constructor is initialised in the current context so why the error on the specific line not above where the p0 starts .
how to solve it that the project compile and send no error while compiling?
thanks

"the constructor is initialised in the current context" what do you mean by that? in the class you are working in? if so, no, it isn't.
with super (p0, p1, p2, p3); you call the constructor of the super class, being: android.widget.Button

YOUR class does have a constructor that takes these parameters, this Button class does not. that is why the error occurs on exactly that line.

i changed it this way but does not work.

set the constructor in such a way that it does work in the cuurent context for all its arguments.
thanks

.....

do you have any experience in basic Java programming using inheritance?

you just call a constructor, and don't tell it what values you pass to it, just what type the parameters should have. and, yet again: your parent class doesn't have a constructor that takes those arguments.

<<EDIT>>

personally, I would expect it to work like you had originally. but, according to your error message, there isn't such a constructor. so: check your dependencies, make sure you know what version you are working with, and that the error message you show is actually based on the code you've shown here.

it looks that coding is correct???
thanks

well, to me, it looks to be, but if it gives an exception, there's bound to be something wrong with it, hence, the exception.
