Move to a particular tab of bottom navigation from an activity

I am working on a project in which I used Bottom Navigation Bar. On Nav Bar, I used 4 menu items(Profile, Home, Reservation, Logout), for them I used fragment.
Moving to Home, a list of restaurant will be appear. When the user tap on any restaurant from the list, an activity( name ReservationInfo ) will be opened. There are 3 edit text fields and a button in ReservationInfo activity. When the user click on the button it will move to the fragment(Reservation) which is placed on third position of bottom nav bar.
The question is how to move from activity to fragmentand the fragment is set to the 3rd menu item of the bottom navigation bar.
Here is the code:
Resrvation.java
package restaurantlocator.application;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class Resrvation extends AppCompatActivity {
Button reserve;
ImageButton imageButton;
EditText food, chooseTime, date;
DataBaseHelper db;
// ReservationInfo reservationInfo;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_resrvation);
db = new DataBaseHelper(this);
food = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etfood);
chooseTime = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.ettime);
date = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edate);
reserve = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnreserve);
imageButton = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.imgButton);
imageButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
finish();
}
});
//reservationInfo = new ReservationInfo();
reserve.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (!emptyValidation()) {
db.AddData(new Data(food.getText().toString(),
chooseTime.getText().toString(),
date.getText().toString()));
AlertMessage();
food.setText(null);
chooseTime.setText(null);
date.setText(null);
} else {
Toast.makeText(Resrvation.this, "Empty Fields", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
private void AlertMessage() {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(Resrvation.this);
builder.setTitle("Reserved!");
builder.setMessage("A notification will be send on your device regarding your reservation.");
builder.setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
//move to fragment ReservationInfo
}
});
builder.show();
}
});
}
private boolean emptyValidation() {
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(food.getText().toString()) || TextUtils.isEmpty(chooseTime.getText().toString())) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
BottomNavigation.java
package restaurantlocator.application;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;
public class BottomNavigation extends AppCompatActivity {
private BottomNavigationView mMianNav;
private FrameLayout mMainFrame;
private HomeActivity homeActivity;
private ReservationInfo reservationInfo;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_bottom_navigation);
startService(new Intent(this, NotificationService.class));
mMainFrame = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_frame);
mMianNav = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.main_nav);
homeActivity = new HomeActivity();
reservationInfo = new ReservationInfo();
setFragment(homeActivity);
//Listener for handling selection events on bottom navigation items
mMianNav.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(new BottomNavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
#Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(#NonNull MenuItem menuItem) {
switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
case R.id.tohome:
setFragment(homeActivity);
return true;
case R.id.toresrvation:
setFragment(reservationInfo);
return true;
case R.id.tologout:
logout();
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
private void logout() {
Intent intent = new Intent(BottomNavigation.this, Registration.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
});
}
private void setFragment(Fragment fragment) {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.main_frame, fragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
fragmentTransaction.addToBackStack(null);
}
public void onBackPressed() {
Intent homeIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
homeIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
homeIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
startActivity(homeIntent);
finish();
}
}

Solution:
Follow the steps below:
Step1: Add the lines as shown in below reserve click listener
reserve.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
....
....
Intent intent = new Intent(Resrvation.this, BottomNavigation.class);
intent.putExtra("FromReservation", "1");
startActivity(intent);
....
}
}
Next, Step2: In your write the below code in onCreate() of BottomNavigation class:
Intent i = getIntent();
String data = i.getStringExtra("FromReservation");
if (data != null && data.contentEquals("1")) {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.main_frame, new ReservationInfo());
fragmentTransaction.commitNow();
mMianNav.setSelectedItemId(R.id.toresrvation);
}
Try it, If any problem, do comment below.

All you need to do is just use startActivityForResults instead of startActivity when user selects a restaurant from your home fragment.
e.g :
startActivityForResult(yourIntent, 1000);
And on the reservationInfo Activity in the onClick function use
Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
setResult(Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, returnIntent);
finish();
And then in your first activity override onActivityResult() method and set the selected fragment as reservation if request code matches
e.g:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == 1000) {
mMianNav.setSelectedItemId(R.id.toresrvation);
}
}

Android:Not able to write on textview of main activity when comming from different activity

I created a simple demo program in which there is start button.When i click on start button on main (Home) screen "hi all" appended to Text view.It works fine, But when I change the activity from selecting action bar menu and if again come on the home screen by selecting the action bar home menu then it will not show the "hi all " Message when I click on the Start button.

it's because you called 'finish' when you changed activities. calling the main activity again reloads its view to its initial state.

In addition to MetaSnarf's answer: For a deeper understanding of the "Android Task Stack" and saving of the current Activity state, you might want to take a look at http://developer.android.com/guide/components/tasks-and-back-stack.html

Just glancing over your code, a possible solution (and perhaps not the best) would be to make the ID Button variable global. You would then instantiate it in the onCreate whilst still allowing it to be manipulated in other classes in this MenuActivity.
I hope this helps.

Only one of three buttons working

Hey I am trying to get different buttons to open up different pages in a android project but only on of the buttons is opening up a new page.
I am new to programming so my terminology may not be correct but I was following a youtube tutorial and it showed how to create a button and make it open up a new page. I tried to do this for multiple buttons but I think I am making the mistake in the main activity. Sorry if I haven't provided the write information to help me solve the problem.
package test.activity.today;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class ActivityTutorialActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.next_button);
next.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick (View v){
Intent myIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), NextActivity.class);
v.getContext().startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
}
public void onCreate1(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.question_button);
next.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick (View v){
Intent myIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), Question.class);
v.getContext().startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
}
public void onCreate2(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.owner_cost);
next.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick (View v){
Intent myIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), Owner.class);
v.getContext().startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
}
}

you should only have one onCreate() method.. check android activity's life cycle to understand it
package test.activity.today;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;
public class ActivityTutorialActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.next_button);
next.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick (View v){
Intent myIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), NextActivity.class);
v.getContext().startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
Button question = (Button) findViewById(R.id.question_button);
question.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick (View v){
Intent myIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), Question.class);
v.getContext().startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
Button ownerCost = (Button) findViewById(R.id.owner_cost);
ownerCost.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick (View v){
Intent myIntent = new Intent(v.getContext(), Owner.class);
v.getContext().startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
}
}

You are duplicating the onCreate() method... this method is called natively by Android and, thus, none of your other methods will get called (you'd have other problems if they were). To create more than one button, you need to add new buttons to your layout and then add them to onCreate().

There is another way to implement the onClick.
In your layout you can specify the function to call onClick
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/imageButtonNext1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="#color/back_color"
android:onClick="RegistraterCompanyOnClick"
android:src="#drawable/ic_next" />
Then in your activity you can filter which button by it's ID. See below.
public void RegistraterCompanyOnClick(View v){
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.imageButtonNext1:
String cname = company.getText().toString();
if (cname.length()== 0){
message = getString(R.string.company_required);
ShowDialog(message);
}
else{
company_name = company.getText().toString();
VerifyClient(company_name);
}
break;
case R.id.imageButtonInfo1:
//message = getString(R.string.registration_info);
message = "Device ID:\n" + deviceID;
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
ShowDialog(message);
break;
case R.id.imageButtonHelp1:
message = getString(R.string.registration_contact);
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
ShowDialog(message);
break;
case R.id.imageButtonPrevious1:
Intent resultIntent = new Intent();
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
resultIntent.putExtra("company_name", company.getText().toString());
resultIntent.putExtra("company_id", companyID);
resultIntent.putExtra("location_name", location_name);
resultIntent.putExtra("location_id", locationID);
setResult(Activity.RESULT_CANCELED, resultIntent);
finish();
default:
break;
}
}

Relative Layouts and Linear Layouts

how do i embed a tab layout within a button. My main layout is a linear layout, but i don't know how to program the main activity.java class. Could anybody help me get started this is what my main.java code looks like right now
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.content.Intent;
public class Remote_DocActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
//private static final String TAG = "Remote_Doc";
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
View Patient_Button = findViewById(R.id.patientButton);
Patient_Button.setOnClickListener(this);
View Doctor_Button = findViewById(R.id.doctorButton);
Doctor_Button.setOnClickListener(this);
View About_Option = findViewById(R.id.aboutButton);
About_Option.setOnClickListener(this);
View Exit_Option = findViewById(R.id.exit);
Exit_Option.setOnClickListener(this);
}
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.aboutButton:
Intent i = new Intent(this, About.class);
startActivity(i);
break;
case R.id.exit:
finish();
break;
}
}
}

you can create tabs with the help of TabActivity class. You can take help from android-wireless-application-development book's unit 3 chapter 8 example.
