Showing results for a quiz app (Android Studio)

I have a quiz app that is working properly, but the thing is the user must answer all questions correctly in order to win the game(if the player gets it wrong the game will be over) .
What I wanted to do is have the questions answered and then at the end there will be an activity that will show how many the player has answered then there will be the options to retry and go back to menu
This is the code for the maingameactivity
public class MainGameActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
FButton buttonA, buttonB, buttonC, buttonD;
TextView questionText, triviaQuizText, timeText, resultText, coinText;
TriviaQuizHelper triviaQuizHelper;
TriviaQuestion currentQuestion;
List<TriviaQuestion> list;
int qid = 0;
int timeValue = 20;
int coinValue = 0;
CountDownTimer countDownTimer;
Typeface tb, sb;

Edited
Just remove the wrapper if else inside all the buttons better to keep it as, don't repeat the code. I am assuming the screen that shows result is handled inside gameWon and you have implemented functionality for inCorrectDialog
public void buttonA(View view) {
Button button = (Button) view;
buttonPressed(button);
}
public void buttonB(View view) {
Button button = (Button) view;
buttonPressed(button);
}
public void buttonC(View view) {
Button button = (Button) view;
buttonPressed(button);
}
public void buttonD(View view) {
Button button = (Button) view;
buttonPressed(button);
}
public void buttonPressed(Button button) {
button.setButtonColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.lightGreen));
if (qid < list.size() - 1) {
disableButton();
if (currentQuestion.getOptA().equals(currentQuestion.getAnswer())) {
correctDialog();
} else {
inCorrectDialog();
}
} else {
gameWon();
}
}

passing data from custom adapter to another activity

I have a listview which consist of items with prices. My listview also has a Delete button. I also have a textview at the bottom part of the layout which is not part of the listview and it shows the total amount. I can successfully remove the item from my listview. What I want is that when the item is removed, the total amount will also change.
Here is a part of my adapter where i must do some actions
holder.del.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
remove(getItem(position));
}
});
and here is my Activity where my textview of amount is found.
public class Cart extends MainActivity {
TextView amount_total;
ListView cartList;
CartCustomAdapter cartCustomAdapter;
String name, price;
static ArrayList<Order> cartArray = new ArrayList<Order>();
static Double total_amount = 0.00d;
static Double temp = 0.00d;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_cart);
amount_total = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.total_tv);
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
Button checkout = (Button) findViewById(R.id.check_out);
Button add_item = (Button) findViewById(R.id.add_item);
name = bundle.getString("i_name");
price = bundle.getString("i_price");
temp = Double.parseDouble(price);
total_amount = (total_amount + temp);
amount_total.setText("Php" + total_amount.toString());
add_item.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Cart.this,MainActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
});
cartList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.cart_list);
cartCustomAdapter = new CartCustomAdapter(Cart.this,R.layout.list_cart,cartArray);
cartList.setItemsCanFocus(false);
cartList.setAdapter(cartCustomAdapter);
cartArray.add(new Order(name,price,"1"));
cartCustomAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}

Define an interface with method like below to update text view in your activity :
updateDeletedItemCount();
and in this method take integer and increase its count like
deletedCount++;
and then update it on text view like this
tvDeletedCount.setText("Deleted Item Count : "+ deletedCount);

This is the easiest way to do that:
//Add a method to your Cart
public void changeTotal(int totalPrice){
if(textView != null) // set total price
}
// Call after remove an item in your listener:
if(getContext() instanceOf Cart){
((Cart)getContext()).changeTotal(newTotalPrice);
}
This is not the best way, but I think it's ok for now :)

get OnClick() from programmatically added buttons?

i have added some button in a layout:
LinearLayout row = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.KeysList);
keys=db.getKeys(console);
my_button=new Button[keys.size()];
for (bt=0;bt<keys.size();bt++){
my_button[bt]=new Button(this);
my_button[bt].setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
my_button[bt].setText(keys.get(bt));
my_button[bt].setId(bt);
row.addView(my_button[bt]);
my_button[bt].setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (my_button[bt].getId() == ((Button) v).getId()){
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), keys.get(bt), 0).show();
}
}
});
}
I want to know which button is clicked and how to get text of the clicked button?And I think using bt here dose not seem to work!

This code is running. I hope it help you :)
final ArrayList<String> Keys = new ArrayList<String>();
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i ++){
Keys.add("Keys is : " + String.valueOf(i));
}
LinearLayout Row = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.KeysList);
final Button[] my_button = new Button[Keys.size()];
for (int bt = 0; bt < Keys.size(); bt ++){
final int Index = bt;
my_button[Index] = new Button(this);
my_button[Index].setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
my_button[Index].setText(Keys.get(Index));
my_button[Index].setId(Index);
my_button[bt].setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (my_button[Index].getId() == ((Button) v).getId()){
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), Keys.get(Index), 0).show();
}
}
});
Row.addView(my_button[Index]);
}
ExampleProject id : Your project

You should probably use View#setTag to set some arbitrary data you'd like associate with the Button. Then you can just instantiate only one OnClickListener that then uses getTag and acts on that data in whatever way you need.

Another way is to have your Activity listen to all button clicks and then you just filter respective to the ID. You should not get the text of the button and use that at all. You should use your own type of identifier, ideally the idea should be enough. Or perhaps you use setTag as #qberticus described.

Consider This example :
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener
{
LinearLayout linearLayout;
Button [] button;
View.OnClickListener listener;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
linearLayout=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.parent_lay);
String[] array={"U123","U124","U125"};
int length=array.length;
System.out.println("11111111111111111111111111");
button=new Button[length];
for(int i=0;i<length;i++)
{
button[i]=new Button(getApplicationContext());
button[i].setId(i);
button[i].setText("User" + i);
button[i].setOnClickListener(this);
linearLayout.addView(button[i]);
}
}
#Override
public void onClick(View view)
{
view.getId();
Button button=(Button)findViewById(view.getId());
button.setText("Changed");
}
}
This works fine :)

TextView won't clear for some Reason, Android

I hope this isn't a stupid question. I'm having some trouble clearing a TextView. I've looked around and everyone keeps saying use: textView.setText(""); in onCreate but doesn't seem to work for some reason. Basically, my app just accepts a number from an editText then runs the Fibonacci sequence (when a button is clicked) and displays the result in a textView. Well, the sequence displays fine but I want the textview to clear every time I click the button - so far it just keeps adding more text to what's already there.
Am I placing textView.setText(""); in the wrong location? Or am I just missing some other concept? (I also tried placing it from my OnClick - that didn't work either).
Here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// primary widgets
private EditText editText;
private TextView textView;
private Button button1;
static ArrayList<Integer> fibList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
//Attempt to clear TextView
textView.setText("");
button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String input = editText.getText().toString();
int number = Integer.parseInt(input);
int tmp = 0;
// confirm input
if (number < 20) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"You entered: " + number, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
for (int i = 0; i <= number; i++) {
fibList.add(fib(i));
// sum even numbers
if (fib(i) % 2 == 0) {
tmp += fib(i);
}
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Number is too Large: " + number, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
String array = fibList.toString();
textView.setText(array);
}
});
}
// run fibonacci sequence
public static int fib(int n) {
if (n < 2) {
return n;
} else {
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}

If you want the TextView to clear on each button click then the .setText must go in you onClick. The reason you would put the .setText in your onCreate is to clear the text as soon as your activity is created, but you do not have anything to clear just yet since your button has not yet been pushed so setText will do nothing. Also, since your onCreate will only run once for your activity, it will never go back to the setText again. Try the following:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// primary widgets
private EditText editText;
private TextView textView;
private Button button1;
static ArrayList<Integer> fibList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
textView.setText(""); //Clear the TextView
fibList.clear(); //Clear your array list before adding new elements
String input = editText.getText().toString();
int number = Integer.parseInt(input);
int tmp = 0;
// confirm input
if (number < 20) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"You entered: " + number, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
for (int i = 0; i <= number; i++) {
fibList.add(fib(i));
// sum even numbers
if (fib(i) % 2 == 0) {
tmp += fib(i);
}
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Number is too Large: " + number, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
}
String array = fibList.toString();
textView.setText(array);
}
});
}
// run fibonacci sequence
public static int fib(int n) {
if (n < 2) {
return n;
} else {
return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2);
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}

you will need to clear textView on Button click event before adding new results to it.do it as:
button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
textView.setText(""); //<<<<<< clear TextView on Button Click
.....

The problem is more likely in fibList that is not being cleared

Button to transfer me to next page and start a game

It's hard to explain in the title. Basically as far as I can tell the submit button is taking the name and placing it in the array like I want. What I need now is for the Play(done) Button to transfer the user and the data to the next class (which I believe is coded correctly) and I need it to start a game. The game which you will see in the second class (get the data from the previous) I need it to display the names from the names array 1 at a time and randomly assign them a task to do from the tasks array.
Currently the app is force closing after I click the play button. I'm linking both classes cause I'm pretty sure the problem is in the second class. Thanks for your help ahead of time.
Class1
public class Class1 extends Activity
{
int players=0;
String names[];
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.class1);
final EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.nameinput);
final ArrayList<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
Button submitButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.submit_btn);
submitButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View submit1)
{
players++;
for(int i=0; i < 6; i++)
{
names.add(input.getText().toString());
input.setText("");
}
}
});
Button doneButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.done_btn);
doneButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View done1)
{
Intent done = new Intent(Class1.this, Game.class);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putStringArrayList("arrayKey", names);
done.putExtra("players", players);
//done.putExtra("names", names[players]);
startActivity(done);
}
});
}
Game Class
public class Game extends Activity
{
int players, counter=0, score, ptasks,rindex;
String[] names, tasks;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.game);
Bundle bundle = this.getIntent().getExtras();
String[] names = bundle.getStringArray("arrayKey");
Intent game = getIntent();
players = game.getIntExtra("players", 1);
//names = game.getStringArrayExtra("names");
Random generator = new Random();
tasks[0]= "";
tasks[1]= "";
tasks[2]= "";
tasks[3]= "";
tasks[4]= "";

while (counter <5)
{
for (int i = 0; i < players; i++)
{
TextView name1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.pname);
name1.setText( names[i]+":");
ptasks = 10;
rindex = generator.nextInt(ptasks);
TextView task = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.task);
task.setText( tasks[rindex]);
}
Button failButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.fail_btn);
failButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View failed)
{
}
});
Button notButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.notbad_btn);
notButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View notbad)
{
}
});
Button champButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.champ_btn);
champButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View champp)
{
}
});
counter++;
}
}
Thought I should also mention that these buttons on the 2nd page I would like to assign a score to whichever name array person is up and keep track until the final round where it will display the winner. If anyone has any idea how to make that work.

Have you made sure to include the Game activity as an Application Node in your AndroidManifest?
If not, open your manifest to the application tab, on the bottom hit Add, and add an Activity of the name .Game
Without this, that intent never gets received by the other class.

You've already been told that you use non-initialized arrays here: EditText and using buttons to submit them. But also you're trying to get array extra, however you don't put it inside intent. And you're using uninitialized tasks array in Game class.
