I have an array of strings that I am displaying in my activity using a random number every time a button called Next is clicked. How do I create another button called Back, that simply displays the previously or last generated strings in the order they were randomly generated?. So that instead of clicking next to generate another string, I can click Back at any time to view all the previous strings one by one and then click Next again to continue the random selection.
Create a array list of String like
ArrayList<String> arraylist= new ArrayList<String>();
after that using add function add the strings that you are displaying in your activity using a random number every time a button called Next is clicked.
arraylist.add("your_randomly_generated_string");
now your randomly generated string will stored in arraylist one by one
This will store the string now how to retrieve?
following steps may help you not sure ...
While adding the randomly generated string into arraylist initialize the int variable with zero and increment its value after each adding...
public int indexvalue=0;
on your Onclick of NEXT button add two lines
arraylist.add("your_randomly_generated_string");
indexvalue++;
And now on the Onclick of BACK Button Use indexvalue to retrieve...
String data = arraylist.get(indexvalue);
indexvalue--;
here Decremented the indexvalue to retrieve the previous string..
hope you'll understand what im trying to say little bit of lengthy explanation ...

I'm making a quiz app I have string array and I want to load them on button click, strings should be loaded randomly into Text View. Strings should not be repeated.
Thanks..
Because it's your quiz, I'm gonna give you hints not the whole soltion
Random rnd = new Random;
while(array.size()>0){
// 1. use rng to get a index between 0 to current array.size()
// 2. remove the string by array.remove(index) so that it won't duplicated.
// 3. setText(string)
}
Try this, you can add comments if you need more details.
One way to do it is to convert the array to a list and shuffling it.
List myList = Arrays.asList(yourArray);
Collections.shuffle(myList);
After that you can just iterate over the list.
I have a problem. In my app I have an Activity where I need to create x Button, then add to all this Button an ActionListener that start another activity.
In details. I have a Database table where I store x name.
In my Activity I need to have a Button for each name stored in the db and to add to each button an actionListener so when you click it it start another activity (which is the same for all buttons) with a putExtra String (which is unique for each button).
I thought that I can get all the name via an AsyncTask. But I can't figure out how to add the Buttons to the basic layout and add the Action Listener to them.
Anyone can help?
P.S. The "putExtra" String is the name I got from the db. So I also thought to get them in String[] array. Then create a Button[] array (don't know if it's possible) and create a new Button() foreach element of the String[] array. Then foreach element in the Button[] array I would putExtra the relative index String. Like Button[0] have as a putExtra the String[0], Button[1] the String[1] and so on.
The solution is a RecyclerView layout with the listener that you can find at this thread
thing is, if i click a button GETDATA - then a new activity starts new.java and i want it to display the contents of my database.
in this new.java i have strings name and id. and i have lined database and this class, such that name and id have the corresponding details that i want to display.
now the ques is, how to display them ?
if i have a
EditText ta;
ta=findViewBy(R.id.edittext1);
ta.setText(name);
should this work ?
it isnt working. also, i dont want user to change the contents and want to make this filed un-editable.
should i use
TextView tf;
ta=findViewBy(R.id.textview1);
tf.setText(name);
?
even this isnt happening.
what is the procedure for this ?
it is done by using append.
TextView ta;
ta=(TextEdit)findViewById(Ri.id.textView1);
String a=getData(1); // goto database, id is 1
ta.append(a);
I am developping an app that has some quotes but I am unable to have next/previous buttons to navigate between the quotes like in the attached image ??

If the only that that's changing is the quote, just have the next and previous buttons change the text on click to the next quote in the cycle.
I'm assuming you are genarating randoms numbers to show the quotes randomly. Just save the position of the quotes(are they stored in an array?) and save them in an Integers List every time the user clicks next.
List<Integer> intList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
So if the user wants to go back just get the previous number which was shown by accessing the list with :
intList.get(intList.size()-1);
You should provide more informations next time and be as precise as you can.
In my Application I want to Add and Remove View (like Button, or Textview, Checkbox ) by Coding (Programming ).
In Details:
I have One EditText and One Add Button. User Enter Anything in EditText and Press the Add Button then this one is added in bellow LinearLayout, and whether User click on his/her added Button it will going to next LinearLayout.
I get sucess upto this.
but when user click the button in second LinearLayout then it will come back on first Linearlayout. I am getting error Here, i don't know where I made a Mistake.
And I also facing Problem about how can I Store this all. Like User Add 5 Button and closed the application and whenever he/she came back to application I need whatever he/she previously added.
Here is what i done.
http://dynamicandroidview.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-add-view-in-android-by-coding.html
Try to create a database table with minimum 2 columns in your case it will be id and buttonText.
Now when user clicks on the add button it will save text to the database and will create the button dynamically below any buttons which are already created before or as a new button.
Now in your onCreate method get the count of text thats stored in database.Some thing like the following code:
DB getData = DB.getInstance();
getData.open(this);
ArrayList<TextHolder> getList = new ArrayList<TextHolder>();
getList = getData.getAllTextFromGeT();
getData.close();
x = genList.size();
Here x will be the number/count of elements that are already stored in the database.Now you can another int say i and using this i and x in the for loop you can create buttons dynamically.
Inside the loop you can do something like the following to get text for all the buttons that are being created:
TextHolder firstOne = getList.get(i);
String text = firstOne.getText();
You will also need class with getters and setters method in order to convert DB elements into objects.Like in the above code getText() is our getter method which is getting elements from database and returning it here.
here text will be the text of the button.
So every-time users starts the application he will see all the buttons that he created when he ran the application before and newly added button will appear on the spot and also will be stored in the database for future retrieval.
Remember we are just storing text of the button and assigning it unique id which helps us to create the buttons.Hope this helps
