I don't see what's wrong with the code, any help?

It simply isn't working.

MainActivity.java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    public static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    public Button mButton1;
    public Button mButton2;

    /*
     * Some code has been omitted for brevity
     */

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

        mButton1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        mButton2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);

        mButton1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                trackButtonPress();
            }
        });

        mButton2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                trackButtonPress();
            }
        });
      public void trackButtonPress() {
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "A button was pressed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Log.i(TAG, "A button was pressed");
      }
    }
}

The positioning of your method is off. Right now it is within the onCreate method, you want it outside of that.
