switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.OKILA : {

break;
}
case R.id.button1 : {

break;
}
}
Toast.makeText(this, text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, YOUR_ACTIVITY_NAME.class);
intent.putExtra("DATA", text);
startActivity(intent);
// Or else you can do whatever you want to do here with that text
}
}
Then in your other activity
String data = getIntent().getStringExtra("DATA");
YOUR_TEXTVIEW_NAME.setText(data);

This is basics of Android so before answering I suggest you to go
through basic tutorials before posting on Stackoberflow.
Now,
Here is how you can access the items from your string_array.
String[] chapters= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.chapters);
Now,here is pseudo code that might help you.
btn1.setOnClickListener(
your_text_view.setText(chapters[0])
)
//Here 0 means your first item, likewise you can access items by their index in
array

Check the radiobutton from the page fragment

I have a button , I want when I click it goes to the page fragment The radiobutton is checked , If, for example, it was a hello , The word hello is printed on the textview in page MainActivity

}
}
How do I do it?
I hope to get an example

First of all, you should be very clear and precise about your query. Next, you should use EventBus here. It really comes handy when callbacks between different components are needed. To use EventBus, you should add following dependency in the app's build.gradle:
compile 'org.greenrobot:eventbus:3.0.0'
Then, you can create a simple POJO class to refer a callback or event. In this case, you can create a class like this:
class OptionItemEvent {
private String option;
public OptionItemEvent(String option){
this.option = option;
}
public String getOption(){
return option;
}
}
In your BlankFragment.java, you've to make a call to the event in the appropriate listener method, for example in this case:
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(RadioGroup radioGroup, int radioButtonId) {
RadioButton radioButton = (RadioButton)view.findViewById(radioButtonId);
EventBus.getDefault().post(new OptionItemEvent(radioButton.getText().toString()));
}
In your MainActivity.java, add the following code:
#Override
protected void onResume(){
super.onResume();
EventBus.getDefault().register(this);
}
#Override
protected void onPause(){
EventBus.getDefault().unregister(this);
super.onPause();
}
#Subscribe (threadMode = ThreadMode.MAIN)
public void onOptionItemSelected(OptionItemEvent event){
//Set the value for your TextView
x.setText(event.getOption());
}
I hope this solves your problem.

Base Activity Button Click's not working in child activities

I am new to android. In my app, having common header.
I have created common header.xml and include that header.xml in all the activites.
But the button clicks [listener] not working.
How to solve the issue. this is the code.
Header.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/layoutHeader"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button

android:text="Home" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="Accounts" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.3"

</LinearLayout>
BaseHeaderActivity.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public abstract class BaseHeaderActivity extends Activity
{
Button btn1, btn2, btn3;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.header);
btn1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// Programming stuf
//show the another view
System.out.println("Home button Action");
}
});
}
}
Home Activity.java
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;

#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.home);
btnVerify = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnVerify);
}
}
base activities button clicks not working..!
Kindly suggest the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Arun

You don't have to create two different activities for this. Create one activity and use all buttons (including button in header.xml) similarly
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button btn1,btnVerify;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// Programming stuf
//show the another view
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Home button Action", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
btnVerify = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnVerify);
btnVerify.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// Programming stuf
//show the another view
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Button Verify Action", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}
You can not use one layout xml file with single activity only.
Note - If you still want to create two different activities - one base and one child then you need to use setContentView() method in base activity with main layout file (Home.xml in your case) and extend it with child activity. Remember in this case dont use setContentView() method in Child Activity. This scenario is not preferred generally unless we want to create several child of same activity.

How to change textView to a #string and raising

so what i am tring to do is, i am having a book like-app, and want to setup a button when click it change the textview to a string in the #string rec. but in a different way
i will put the code just a moment, lets say i have a string in #string that is NH1,NH2,NH3
i can do for button View.setText(R.string.NH1); that will work but i want to create a counter and make it so every time clicked counter++ and want it to be like this View.setText(R.string.NH+counter); if you know what i mean so each time it clicked to goes to next #string without changing layout every time and without an array because the paragraph are very long
also if i have NH1-10 and the counter did not stop and still goes on what will i do.
if you are sill here thank you for reading.

You could do this by creating an XML string array, so your strings will still be referenced in resources, but you'll be able to loop through them.
Something like this, in values/strings.xml:
<string-array name="planets_array">
<item>Mercury</item>
<item>Venus</item>
<item>Earth</item>
<item>Mars</item>
</string-array>
And then in Activity:
Resources res = getResources();
final String[] planets = res.getStringArray(R.array.planets_array);
findViewById(R.id.button1).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (counter < planets.length) {
textView.setText(planets[counter]);
counter++;
}
}
});
Be sure to check the counter against arrays length, otherwise you will get an IndexOutOfBoundsException.

Button OnClickListener not working

I am new to Android. I am trying to get input from the EditText and displaying it in TextView with the help of button. When I click the button nothing happens. Please help, here is my MainActivity.java code -
package com.example.addname;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button b1;
TextView v1;
EditText t1;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
t1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
v1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(t1.getText().toString()=="")
{
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
and here is my activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="#string/hello_world" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
android:ems="10" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_below="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_marginTop="48dp"
android:text="Button" />
</RelativeLayout>

Instead of
if(t1.getText().toString()=="")
{
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
You can use
if(t1.getText().isEmpty()) // isEmpty() is only available from API 9 and Above
{
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
or this
if(t1.getText().trim().length == 0)
{
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
Don't compare strings using ==. You're actually comparing reference of an object. To compare strings, use equals() method.

I'd recommend comparing strings with .equals() since Objects compared with == usually fails (== compares references, not Object content).
if(t1.getText().toString().equals("")))
in your case though,since you're comparing an empty String, you can also use
if (t1.getText().toString().length == 0)
Then note that once you set the text, you're setting v1's text to an empty string since your logic indicates that only upon an empty string you set v1's text. So I'd recommend getting rid of the if altogether:
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
v1.setText(t1.getText().toString());
}
