if (item.getItemId() == android.R.id.home) {
finish(); // close this activity and return to preview activity (if there is any)
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

I'd suggest you do couple of things.
Instead of hardcodding your buttons' onclick methods, try determining which button was clicked and was it the write answer or not.
You can make a method which will check if the clicked button holds the right answer or not.
For reusing the activity, you can simply update the textview (that holds the question) and the button's texts.

Changing Activities through a button and display xml

I am very new at android development, and I am trying to make an app which has 4 buttons in its main activity and when I click on one of its button it takes me to another activity and displays its xml file, what should I write in the 2nd activity? Here is my code so far.
main xml file

My answer as a checklist:
1.- If you are using android studio you should create 2nd activity with the assistant so you dont get into more complications.
The 2nd activity must have an xml file and a class file.
2.- You should add android:onClick propertie for your button in the xml file on the activity.
3.- Your 2nd activity must have an onCreate method in the class file to fill the contents of the 2nd activity.
3b.- You can leave onCreate with default content but your xml file must then have al the info of your textviews.
I can elaborate further if needed.

Let's say you have two activities : Activity1.java and Activity2.java.
to start Activity2 from Activity1 just do :
final Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);>startActivity(intent)
If you want to start activity on button click you have to write this codein an onClickListener. To do that, write the following attribute in your button definition in Activity1 xml file.
android:onCLick="onButtonClick"
Then in your activity write the following listener :
public void onButtonClick(final View v) {
// put your intent here
}

This code help you ....
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btn1 ;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn1);
final String name = editText.getText().toString();
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {//when your btn1 button press
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Activity2.class);//this is call your second activity
startActivity(intent);//start activity
}
});
}
}

First of all, you must get your Button id from your xml. Or you will get NullPointerException so change your onCreate like this.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.one); //This line
btn2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.two); //and this line
btn1.setOnClickListener(this);
btn2.setOnClickListener(this);
}
And if you want to call intent with Class, you can see this solution
OR
You can simply call another activity like this:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.one); //This line
btn2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.two); //and this line
btn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
startActivity(new Intent(firstActivity.this, secondActivity.class));
}
});
}

OnClickListener on non-Mainactivity & change first activity

i've a problem. I want to make a app with a loggin activity and a main activity. (To the OnClickListiner later)
fist:
What ive done so far:
i've created a login. java and login.xml
login.java:
public class Login extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
Button btnStartAnotherActivity;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.login);
boolean hasLogedIn = true;
if (hasLogedIn) {
Intent i = new Intent(Login.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
} else {
}
}
public void onClick(View view) {
//calling an activity using <intent-filter> action name
Intent inent = new Intent("android.name.MainActivity ");
startActivity(inent);
}
}
i've created a MainActivity.java and activity_main.xml
moreover i've some other java and xml files to make a materiel designed Tab view for my MainActivity.
i have 3 tabs thats how it looks so far
[![tab1 with buttons][1]][1]
-now i'be added to the first tab 3 buttons.
example of one button: (the others are the same just a other id )
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Kommt"
android:clickable="false"
android:textColor="#190707"
android:id="#+id/kommt"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/space" />
-So the app is running now without problems. ( All Tabs and there content is showing like i want it )
when i build the project the mainactivity is open first( see that link of the picture )
HOW TO SET: the login interface to be started once, when starting the app for the first time. After login is succesfully, then the mainactivity will always open. Thats my first problem. What should i add to the Login.java ? and how to set that the login.xml starts before the mainactivity ?
Second:
As i told you ive added some buttons. To test the buttons i've tried to implement a code for toast notification when clicking on button. But every time i build the project with the toast notifitcation code, the app doenst start anymore. Here the code for the toast notification i'm using:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnClickListener {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // but my main_activity doesnt have buttons ... tab1.xml have b
Button kommtbutton;
kommtbutton= (Button) findViewById(R.id.kommt);
kommtbutton.setOnClickListener(this);}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
setContentView(R.layout.tab1); // not sure if this is right ive did it cause the buttons are in the tab1 layout and not main_activity
switch(v.getId())
{
case R.id.kommt:
{
Toast toast1 = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Eingestempelt",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast1.show();
break;
} ....}
here i have implemented all 3 buttons in a switch case.
It looks right but the onclicklistinier seems to kill my application before it can start. Maybe someone can help me.
i have following files:
Login.java, MainActivity.java, Tab1.java,Tab2.java,Tab3.java, SlidingTabsLayout.java, SlidingTabStrip.java and ViewPagerAdaper.
and i have this layouts.
acitivy_main.xml, login.xml, tab1,tab2,tab3.xml, toolbar.xml.
I'm not allowed to send pictures cause i'm new here.
Where have i do implement the code for the toast notification ?
thats my activity_main:xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

The buttons are in the tab1.xml. Where have i to acces them to make a Interaction ( show toast when pressing the button ) ? in the MainActivity.java or the Tab1.java or somewhere else ?
When i try to add toast notification my app just kills itself ...

You have to put all the findViewById and setContentView in the onCreate method or they won't do the job.
First point :
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{
// Layout elements
private Button kommtbutton = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Attach layout
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // but my main_activity doesnt have buttons ... tab1.xml have b
// Retrieve layout elements
kommtbutton= (Button) findViewById(R.id.kommt);
// Attach listeners
kommtbutton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view)
{
// Do not use getApplicationContext(), this is an activity
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Eingestempelt", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
[...]
}
Second point :
public class LoginActivity extends Activity
{
// Layout elements
private EditText edit_login = null;
private EditText edit_password = null;
private Button btn_login = null;
// Class variables
private SharedPreferences prefs = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Check if the user is already logged in
prefs = getSharedPreferences(getPackageName(), MODE_PRIVATE);
if (prefs.getBoolean("isLoggedIn", false))
{
Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
return;
}
// Attach layout
setContentView(R.layout.login);
// Retrieve layout elements
edit_login = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_login);
edit_password = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_password);
btn_login = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_login);
// Attach listeners
btn_login.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view)
{
// Retrieve information
String login = edit_login.getText().toString();
String password = edit_password.getText().toString();
// Do job
boolean canConnect = true; // TODO
if (canConnect)
{
// Update prefs
prefs.edit().putBoolean("isLoggedIn", true).commit();
// Move to activity
Intent intent = new Intent(LoginActivity.this, MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
else
{
// Update prefs
prefs.edit().putBoolean("isLoggedIn", false).commit();
// Display error message
Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Wrong crendentials", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
}
}

Characters appear in the order as i click

For example. There is picture on the top of the screen below that there are some empty boxes and below the boxes there are some buttons. Every button has a character for text("a","c","t"). You click on a button and the button's text appear in the box. You can click them in the order you want to but the answer is "cat" so when you put the characters in the correct order then you got a toast.
I tried to do it with TextViews and Buttons. I can make the button disappear when i click on it and a textview appear in the same time. But every textview has a fix place on the screen, so i need to put every character in every box invisible and when i click on the "c" character it appear in the first box and the other "c" characters stay invisible. But if i click on the "a" first, then it appears in the second box because there is too much variation to do all. I'm not good at explaining but if anyone has an idea how to do that easier please response!
Here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnClickListener{
Button b1;
Button b2;
Button b3;
TextView tg1;
TextView tg2;
TextView tg3;
TextView to1;
TextView to2;
TextView to3;
TextView tl1;
TextView tl2;
TextView tl3;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
b1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.bg);
b1.setOnClickListener(this);
b2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.bo);

You might want to try a slightly different approach.
If I understand you correctly, you want to "type" a word out using given lettered buttons. Like one of those hangman style games.
Why not append the text views on the fly.
Something like
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Grab the surrounding layout for the textviews
GridView answerGrid = (GridView)getViewById(R.id.answerGrid);
//Get the text that was on the button
Button b = (Button)v;
String btnText = b.getText().toString();
//Make a text view with text
TextView txt = new TextView();
text.setText(btnText);
//Append to text view container
answerGrid.addView(txt);
//Invisible button
b.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
}
Haven't tested to see if this is perfect, but its a start.
=====
I've looked at your xml
Why not use GridViews?
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
....>
<GridView android:id="#+id/answerGrid"
....>
<!-- Put nothing here. This is for answers -->
</GridView>
<GridView android:id="#+id/lettersGrid"
android:layout_below="answerGrid"
....>
<!-- Buttons in here -->
</GridView>
</RelativeLayout>
This way you can customise the number of rows/columns based on the length of the word you're playing with. And GridView will automatically give you a neat layout and spacing.
Have a look at the GridView doc and get it customised the way you want it.
See my edits above for the Java code.

Use buttons in game-style scenario

I have a 5 linear layouts, each containing 10 buttons, which gives rise to a 5 by 10 array of buttons. I would like the user to select 5 buttons, and each button contains a certain point value. On the next page, I would like the sum of the point values of these 5 buttons to appear in a textview.
Here is what I have tried so far, using a small sample of my code.
On the xml file: (this is a 2 by 3 sample)
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button11"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="50" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button12"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="50" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button13"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="75" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button21"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="00" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button22"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="25" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button23"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="75" />
</LinearLayout>
I am not sure what to do on the java file, but I was considering giving each button id a value (which is currently represented by the name of the button) and adding up all the values, which will then be displayed on the next page.

You can just convert the text on the button to an integer:
int value = 0;
try {
value = Integer.parseInt(button.getText().toString());
}
catch(NumberFormatException nfe) {
}

Say that xml file is called activity_main.xml. You need to have an Activity class, let's call it MainActivity.java
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
private totalVal = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button button12 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button12);
button12.setOnClickListener(this);
// ... Do the same for the rest of the buttons
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v){
switch(v.getId(){
case R.id.button12:
int textVal = Integer.parseInt(v.getText().toString());
totalVal = totalVal + textVal;
// do whatever else you want to when the button is clicked
break;
// ... Do the same for the rest of the buttons
}
You would also need a button that says you are done, and implement it in a similar way
