How to load a layout inside another one on click and change button function?

I'm trying to do something like this:
When I go to this activity I have what is in black and some objects like EditText boxes.
Once I press the button I want those EditBoxes an other stuff that is up there to stay visible but unable to be edited (that's easy to do from code overriding onClick).
But at the same time I also want to load some layout down inside the same activity (from an xml) and change the button function to act over the objects of the new layout.
Could anyone give me an idea on how to do this two things staying in the same activity?
Update:
public void createButton(){
create_button.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
editText1.setEnabled(false);
editText2.setEnabled(false);
hidden_layout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
create_button.setText("New text");
}
});
}
On the first click I want the button to do that. But once it's pressed I want it to do another thing. How could I do that?

(that's easy to do from code overriding onClick).
Actually I would recommend enable or disable which is easier to trace by using
view.setEnabled(bool);
as for the other question I'd recommend adding the layout from the start with setting visibility to GONE and when needed set the visibility to VISIBLE
view.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
view.setVisibility(View.GONE);

Ok, I've realized it was a dumb question, just add a flag an edit it:
public void createButton(){
create_button.setOnClickListener(
new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (!button_pressed) {
editText1.setEnabled(false);
edittext2.setEnabled(false);
hidden_layout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
create_button.setText("New text");
button_pressed=true;
}
else{
create_button.setText("Second click");
create_button.setEnabled(false);
}
}
});
}
}

Android can not remove button

I am trying to remove a button when the button itself is tapped, I am trying the following:
View.OnClickListener getOnClickDoSomething(final Button button) {
return new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
tagsView.removeView(button);
}
};
}
This code is working, but when I add the following line of code:
editText.setText(button.getText());
The code stops working and the button does not get removed. I add it like so:
View.OnClickListener getOnClickDoSomething(final Button button) {
return new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.setText(button.getText());
tagsView.removeView(button);
}
};
}
What is the problem here?

use this in your OnClick method
button.setVisibility(view.GONE);
Your code will look like this
View.OnClickListener getOnClickDoSomething(final Button button) {
return new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.setText(button.getText());
button.setVisibility(view.GONE);
}
};
}
Or Try this
Button mybtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.mybtn_id);
mybtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
mybtn.setVisibility(view.GONE); // or (view.INVISIBLE)
}
});

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, something like deejay proposed would work just fine. If want the button to hide, call button.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE). However, if you are trying to dismiss it completely from the view hierarchy, call button.setVisibility(View.GONE).

just set button visibility to false

Obviously button.setVisibility(View.GONE) comes to mind but if it doesn't work you should look one level above for the source of the bug. Maybe you don't set OnClickListener you created to the button and hence nothing happens?

When to set onClickListener with View and when with Button?

I have just started to learn Android Application Development from thenewboston.com tutorials.
I had a confusion with setting the onClickListener event handler. When setting it for a button in the main activity, they used the Button class.
redButton.setOnClickListener(
new Button.onClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
// Do Something
}
}
);
But when setting it for a fragment they used the view class.
redButton.setOnClickListener(
new View.onClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
// Do Something
}
}
);
What is the difference between the two ? And when to use them ?
Please Help !!

In Button also, you can use View also as you are using in fragment.
Actually both works identically.It is just the way you want to go for better solution than other.
For more details you could refer:
setOnclickListener vs OnClickListener vs View.OnClickListener
Difference between specifying the view.onclicklistener and just having onclicklistener

Button.onClickListener() could only be used for Button. But View.onClickListener() could be used for any view. So what is the right way of doing it?
Well, what you have currently done is called 'setting an anonymous listener`. That's bad. More info here: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/110113
The best way to do is let your Activity or Fragment implement the View.onClickListener() and the override the onClick() method.

Button is derived class of View, so onClickListener of Button is overridden from onClickListener for View.
And there is no difference between two implementations.
In the documentation for button example uses view.onClickListener
final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_id);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Perform action on click
}
});
so that seems the recomanded way.

In Android: How do you show layout twice using intent?

Let's pretend this was my Java Class...
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button ScreentwoGameButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.screentwo);
ScreentwoGameButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent ScreentwoGameIntent = new Intent(Main.this, Screentwo.class);
startActivity(StartGameIntent);
}
});
How do i use this code below but the right way like.
So let's put an example if I click screentwo button the screentwo.xml will show and it will allow me to click inside if any buttons are available. Instead just stare what's in the layout.
I don't want to use the Activity to activity cause the whole point is i'm trying to avoid the flashing looking feel going to another java class.
If you look at the moron test game on Android it says example: press the blue button then red and then green, so if u press the blue button the screen will remain and not flash at all but the image of the blue button will disappear and I'm allowed to click the red and then green.
Hope that helped.
Thanks

Button ScreentwoButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.screentwo);
ScreentwoButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
private Uri Uri;
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
setContentView(R.layout.Screentwo);
Uri uri=Uri;
Intent i=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
mSoundManager.playSound(1);
}
});

try to use:
setContentView(R.layout.next layout); in your button click.

You could use the viewflipper class and add the different layouts as childs to the viewflipper
and set the active child. Using setcontentView will be trouble some when you use findViewById for a old layout. As findViewById will look in the layout that is specified by setContentView

change button image in android

I want to change the image of a button in my code. I found this can be done in xml:
please check this link
but the image will not stay on after I released the button. I want to click the button
and the button change to a new image. Can this be done?

in onClick method you need to change the Button's image, this way..
public void onClick(View v) {
if(v==buttonName){
buttonName.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.imageName);
}
}

Assuming an ImageButton...
You can change the background image in an onClick listener, similar to the following:
myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
//set button image
myButton.setImageBitmap(myBitmapFile)
}
});
