I have one textview and one button ,i coud change textview text with below code :
final Textview c_tv_matn;
Button c_btn_dokme;
c_btn_dokme = (button) findviewbyid(R.id.btn1);
c_tv_matn = (Textview) findviewbyid(R.id.txt1);
c_btn_dokme.setonclickListener(new OnclickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
c_tv_matn.SetText("this is second text");
});
But i wanna change text from String.xml and make Next Button Like this ;
"matn_1","matn_2"matn_3"matn_4...
STRING.XML
<string name="matn_0">Hello world!</string>
<string name="matn_1">You are hero john</string>
<string name="matn_2">you can change this world</string>
<string name="matn_3">You are so clever</string>
cAN YOU HELP ME TO GET RES FROM STRING AND CHANG TEXTVIEW TEXT WITH NUMBERS?
cAN YOU HELP ME TO GET RES FROM STRING AND CHANG TEXTVIEW TEXT WITH NUMBERS?
You can use either getString(int) or getText(int) to retrieve a string. getText(int) retains any rich text styling applied to the string.
But in this case you'll use getString(int) that returns the string value associated with a particular resource ID. It will be stripped of any styled text information.
Sometimes you'll need a context like on this case that you want to do it inside a Button then you can get the context from your View, or if you have a global context in your Activity/Fragment you can use it also.
Example
If I did not misunderstood, what you want is to put the text from Strings.xml to TextView, so you can do it like this :
final Textview c_tv_matn;
Button c_btn_dokme;
int textNumber = 1;
c_btn_dokme = (button) findviewbyid(R.id.btn1);
c_tv_matn = (Textview) findviewbyid(R.id.txt1);
c_btn_dokme.setonclickListener(new OnclickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(textNumber){
case 1:
c_tv_matn.setText(v.getContext().getString(R.string.matn_1))
textNumber++;
break;
case 2:
c_tv_matn.setText(v.getContext().getString(R.string.matn_2))
textNumber++;
break;
case 3:
c_tv_matn.setText(v.getContext().getString(R.string.matn_3))
textNumber++;
break;
default:
textNumber = 1;
c_tv_matn.setText(v.getContext().getString(R.string.matn_1)
break;
});
To get the String from string.xml you need a Context.
An Activity is a Context so, if you are in an Activity you can just call getString(R.string.<the name in string.xml>) to retrieve the String you need.
For example getString(R.string.matn_0).
Then it can be applied to your needs:
c_tv_matn.SetText(getString(R.string.matn_0));
If you are not in an Activity then you need to get hold of a Context, probably passing it in as a parameter to the constructor of the class (and store it as an attribute) or as a parameter to the method that will do the setting of the text.

In my activity I have the following views
TextView player1;
TextView player2;
TextView player3;
TextView player4;
EditText player1name;
EditText player2name;
EditText player3name;
EditText player4name;
Each of the TextView's has the onclick listener applied to it. and so fires the OnClick function.
When we get to the onClick this is what i am currently doing:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//the v variable is the clicked textview, in this case "player1"
//hide the textview and show the resultant edittext
v.setVisibility(View.GONE);
player1name.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
//set focus on edit text and when focus is lost hide it and set the textview text
player1name.requestFocus();
imm.showSoftInput(player1name, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
player1name.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View y, boolean x) {
v.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
player1name.setVisibility(View.GONE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(player1name.getWindowToken(), 0);
String name = player1name.getText().toString();
if (name.equals("")) {
v.setText("Player Name1");
} else {
v.setText(name);
}
}
});
}
However with this solution I will need to duplicate this code and change the view names for player2 - player2name, player3 - player3name etc
i can obviously grab the clicked TextView via v, however what i cant seem to do is grab its corresponding EditText.
i had thought of doing this:
View test = v + "name";
//then i replace all references to player1name with the test variable
but it doesnt work it wants me to convert View test; into a string
any suggestions?
EDIT: made it easier to understand my question
View test = v + "name";
will give a compile error. Because "v" is not a string type. and also even if it was String, test is not. This line is pretty wrong.
There a few options to achieve what you want,
You can use hashmap
Declare a global field for hashmap
private final HashMap<Integer,EditText> map = new HashMap<Integer,EditText>();
and in onCreate method put your textview id as key, and put your edittext variables in value.
player1name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.player1name);
map.put(R.id.textView1, player1name);
// for the rest
in onClick method
EditText e = map.get(v.getId());
Then replace them with "e"
e.requestFocus(); //example
Will you please state your problem clearly? Currently, your language is very ambiguous and I can not figure out, exactly what are you looking for. It will help us to know your problem and in turn solve it.
this is my first question so I hope to make it clear.
I have one textView with some numerical text and next to it one button with one click listener and what I want is that when you click on the button the numerical value (>=0) of the TextView decrements in one.
Here is part of my code:
TextView Counter = new TextView(this);
if (intSeries != 0)
Counter.setText(Integer.toString(intSeries));
else
Counter.setText("0");
Counter.setId(4);
tablaContador.addView(Counter,Tr);
Button Done = new Button(this);
Done.setText("-1");
if (intSeries != 0)
Done.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
else
Done.setVisibility(View.GONE);
Done.setId(6);
Done.setOnClickListener(this);
And this is the onClick funcion (part of it):
#Override
public void onClick(final View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
switch (v.getId()) {
case 6:{
TextView text = (TextView)findViewById(4);
int series = Integer.parseInt(text.getText().toString());
series--;
text.setText(series);
if (series==0){
Button boton = (Button)findViewById(6);
boton.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
}
}
The error is when I try to make the setText inside the onClick function, I hope it can be fixed or maybe recieve other idea to do it.
Thank you so much.
I would avoid all this hardcoding of Ids, use resources instead.
Your call to
text.setText(series)
is passing an int. The only valid setText(int resId) overload expects a resource associated with the int value, i.e. a string resource.
Convert your series value to a string.
Something like:
text.setText(Integer.toString(series));
You should setup series as an integer. And increase/descrease it as you wish. When you want to change the button's text convert the int to String.
Instead of:
text.setText(series);
use:
text.setText(String.valueOf(series));
Variablenames in java can't start with a capital letter. That is reserved for classnames.
Counter -> counter
Done -> done
I tried this and it worked:
//Create onClickListener
OnClickListener pickChoice = new OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(4);
int number = Integer.valueOf(txt.getText().toString());
txt.setText(String.valueOf(number -1));
}
};
//Create layout
LinearLayout lnLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
lnLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
TextView txt = new TextView(this);
txt.setId(4);
txt.setText("0");
lnLayout.addView(txt);
Button Done = new Button(this);
Done.setText("-1");
Done.setId(6);
Done.setOnClickListener(pickChoice);
lnLayout.addView(Done);
setContentView(lnLayout);
Where are you creating your button inside? an activity? the part where you pass the onClickListener to the button doesn't make sense, maybe the button is getting a wrong listener and gets you an error every time you press the button ?
The code should be easy to understand, if there is anything you need me to explain please ask :)
I have a program that has a text input and a button. When I type something into the input and press the button I want that String to be added to a String Arraylist and have that Arraylist displayed in a TextView. Right now I have a method:
public void addString(View view)
{
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_choice);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
choices.add(message);
}
"edit-choices" is the name of the text input and "choices" is the name of the array list. First of all am I doing this correctly? Second, how to I get the text view to display the contents of "choices". Right now my TextView id is just textView1
Please keep in mind that it is not the best way to show list items in a TextView. You can do this using a ListView. Anyhow, see pseudo code below (didn't test that in Eclipse, however, it should show how it is basically going to work):
public class YourActivity extends Activity {
Vector<String> choices = new Vector<String>();
public void onCreate(Bundle ....) {
(Button) myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
myButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean button.onClick() {
addString();
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_view);
String listRepresentation = "";
for (String choice : choices)
if ("".equals(listRepresentation))
listRepresentation = choice; else
listRepresentation = ", " +choice;
textView.setText(listRepresentation );
}
});
}
public void addString(View view)
{
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_choice);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
choices.add(message);
}
}
So simply assign an OnClickListener to your button that does what you need.
The question is how you want the Text to be displayed...
Either like a list view or just as a normal text.
If you want to show the text as a normal text in the text view you can simply do something like this.
for(String msg : choices)
{
textView1.setText(textView1.getText()+msg);
}
If you want the choices to be displayed in list view you need to set an adapter to the list view using the choices that you have.
First of all am I doing this correctly?
If it works for you, sure. I would maybe cache the EditText so you don't have to "find" it every time you want to access it's content.
Your only "problem" here is, that a TextView has no method that accepts a List<String>. So, you'll need to make a single string out of your list of strings.
You can simply iterate over the list and con-cat them together:
StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();
for (String s : choices){
b.append(s+"\n");
}
textview.setText(b.toString());
This will simply build one string from all the items in your list, adding line-breaks after every item.
You'll need to set your TextView's android:inputType-attribute to textMultiLine, so it will actually show you multiple lines.
In the /res/values folder of my android project i have a string and that is referenced in a text view in my xml file, i want to change the string in my java file.
As you can see below in the code i have made a string variable and then below that i have set what the string variable is set to, which is where the string is located. where i have "here" posed in the code that's where i want to change to string in the values folder. but i don't know what code to use to set it.
I could just change the text in a text view from my java file, which i know how to do, but that is an old way and it sets of a warning so i would rather use a string which is the best way to do so.
With my knowledge of changing text in a text view i have basically guessed my way to this stage but i don't know how to go any further could any one give me some advice on what to do, thanks.
String string;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
counter = 0;
add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.badd);
sub = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bsub);
reset = (Button) findViewById(R.id.breset);
display = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvdisplay);
string = (String) getString(R.string.counter);
add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
((///////////////here////////////////))
counter++;
}
});
You cannot modify the text assigned to <string> elements of a /res/values/strings.xml file at runtime. They're constants so effectively final.
You also cannot change a layout xml file at runtime. If you've created a layout with a TextView that has its android:text attribute set to some initial resource string, that is basically an 'initial' value and cannot be changed to something else at runtime.
You told us a lot of changing text, but you don't said what the text should be. I need to guess, too:
The strings.xml file should be used for texts that might change for different languages. If you just want to change the text of a counter, you shouldn't do it via strings.xml as the numbers are universal :)
Try to go with that:
display.setText(String.valueOf(counter));
You will want to use the setText() method.
display.setText("text");
I want to get the user input for the EditText view and display it on the screen through TextView when the Button is clicked. I also, want to know what modifications can be done on the string.xml file to do this.
I didn't get the second question, maybe you can elaborate...but for your first query.
String content = edtEditText.getText().toString(); //gets you the contents of edit text
tvTextView.setText(content); //displays it in a textview..
I'm just beginner to help you for getting edittext value to textview. Try out this code -
EditText edit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editext1);
TextView tview = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview1);
String result = edit.getText().toString();
tview.setText(result);
This will get the text which is in EditText Hope this helps you.
EditText ein=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.edittext1);
TextView t=new TextView(this);
t.setText("Your Text is="+ein.getText());
setContentView(t);
bb.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View view)
{
String s1=tt.getText().toString();
tv.setText(s1);
}
}
);
First get the text from edit text view
edittext.getText().toString()
and Store the obtained text in a string, say value.
value = edittext.getText().toString()
Then set value as the text for textview.
textview.setText(value)
yesButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
eiteText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.nameET);
String result=eiteText.getText().toString();
Log.d("TAG",result);
}
});
Easiest way to get text from the user:
EditText Variable1 = findViewById(R.id.enter_name);
String Variable2 = Variable1.getText().toString();
in "String.xml" you can notice any String or value you want to use, here are two examples:
<string name="app_name">My Calculator App
</string>
<color name="color_menu_home">#ffcccccc</color>
Used for the layout.xml: android:text="#string/app_name"
The advantage: you can use them as often you want, you only need to link them in your Layout-xml, and you can change the String-Content easily in the strings.xml, without searching in your source-code for the right position.
Important for changing language, you only need to replace the strings.xml - file
Use the following code when clicked on the button :
String value = edittext.getText().toString().trim(); //get text from editText
textView.setText(value); //setText in a textview
Hope to be useful to you.
Try this->
EditText text = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.text_input);
Editable name = text.getText();
Editable is the return data type of getText() method it will handle both
string and integer values
First get the value from edit text in a String variable
String value = edttxt.getText().toString();
Then set that value to textView
txtview.setText(value);
Where edttxt refers to edit text field in XML file
and txtview refers to textfield in XML file to show the value
