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);
}
}
});
}
}

changing visibility of text android

Hi i have two textViews that i initially set its visibility to gone then animate in and become visible. now i want to make the invisible again but for some reason they're still showing on screen does anyone no why?
in my onCreate() i make the view gone
register = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.register);
register.setVisibility(View.GONE);
forgotpassword = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.forgotpw);
forgotpassword.setVisibility(View.GONE);
then later on i make it visible
public void run()
{
animations();
loginForm.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
register.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
forgotpassword.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
and then when a user presses a button i want the text views to become invisible so that they retain their layout but they stay visible on screen
signInBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.signin);
signInBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
signInProcess();
}
});
public void signInProcess() {
register.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
forgotpassword.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
setuploader.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}

In Android when you animate something, It's just drawn somewhere else. The actual element is not moved. So when you animate signInBtn it's drawn somewhere else, but the actual button is not moved from the original position. So when you click the button the click handler is not called.
To avoid this set fillAfter = True in your animation so the button will actually get moved at the end of your animation.
Also, after animating a view in Android make sure you call View.clearAnimation() before trying to change its visibility.

How do I select all text when clicking on a EditText view?

so I tried android:selectAllOnFocus and of course I'm using android:hint.
The app loads, requestFocus triggers and the full text is selected.
The problem is that when I click in the EditText the selection is lost.
I've already read:
Select all text inside EditText when it gets focus

For some reason, it worked (on Jelly Bean) only if I posted it with a Handler:
new Handler().post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
paidView.selectAll();
}
});

Set the selection in an View.OnClickListener like so:
editText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.setSelection(0, editText.getText().length() - 1);
}
}

Set the selection in an View.OnClickListener like so: (with the 0 and text length opposite to the previously approved response) - this will ensure that when the user starts typing the content will be overridden.
editText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.setSelection(editText.getText().length() - 1, 0);
}
}

I realize this is an old post, but I had this same problem. For me, the reasoning was that I like to move the keyboard out of the way (dismiss it) to get my bearings (or hit buttons to add or remove rows of data) and when i touched back on the EditText I was previously editing, it was annoying to have the keyboard pop back up and the text un-select, forcing me to either work to get the cursor to where I wanted to start deleting, or touch another EditText and then touch back on the original to re-select everything. I just want to have the keyboard pop back up and have the text selected and ready to overwrite whenever I go to that EditText.
There are easy solutions to this:
1) Long tap does this for you on most occasions.
2) If you're already using setSelectAllOnFocus(true), you can just throw a simple clearFocus() and requestFocus() in your onClick listener:
etMyEditText.setSelectAllOnFocus(true);
etMyEditText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
view.clearFocus();
view.requestFocus();
}
});
This way the EditText has everything selected when you tap on it, regardless of soft keyboard status.
Additional bonus:
Add android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" inside your <activity .../> tag in your AndroidManifest.xml file to force the selected EditText to stay in sight when the soft keyboard pops up.

try This
editText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.selectAll();
//or this.selectAll();
}
To select all the text.

Do the code below after you did findViewById and you are good to go:
edtProductPrice.setSelectAllOnFocus(true);
edtProductPrice.requestFocus();
edtProductPrice.selectAll();

Android: How to only hear when my custom class is clicked

when I make a custom view class and add a clickListener it fires anywhere on the screen I click, even where the custom view is not. If I use the same code with a button from a layout it only fires when I click the button not anywhere on screen. Any ideas how to just only listen for when my custom class is directly clicked?
button only fire when pressed
Button b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "button clicked");
}
});
stroke object fires when you press anywhere on screen, even outside of stroke's bounding box
Stroke stroke = new Stroke(this);
mainLayout.addView(stroke);
stroke.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// fires on every screen click :>(
Log.d(Main.DEBUG_TAG, this.toString()+"shape clicked");
}
});

I think your custom view just fills the whole screen. That's why it reacts on every click on the screen. You need to make it smaller and everything will work fine.

Issue with ImageButton.setVisibility()

I'm having a problem when setting the visibility of two image buttons one on top of the other. The idea is to implement a play/pause control. The problem is that the only part where setting the visibility actually works is in the click listeners of the buttons. If I try to change it somewhere else nothing happens. Any idea why is this happening?
playBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {//PLAY BUTTON LISTENER
public void onClick(View v) {
playBtn.setVisibility(ImageButton.GONE);
pauseBtn.setVisibility(ImageButton.VISIBLE);
mp.start();
}});
pauseBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {//PAUSE BUTTON LISTENER
public void onClick(View v) {
pauseBtn.setVisibility(ImageButton.GONE);
playBtn.setVisibility(ImageButton.VISIBLE);
mp.pause();
}});
final class SeekBarTask extends TimerTask {
public SeekBarTask(int duration) {
}
#Override
public void run() {
if(seekBar.getProgress() >= mp.getDuration()) {//IF SONG HAS FINISHED...
pauseBtn.setVisibility(ImageButton.GONE);//THESE ONES
playBtn.setVisibility(ImageButton.VISIBLE);//DOESN'T WORK
mp.stop();
}
else {
seekBar.incrementProgressBy(100);
}
}
}

I would recommend just changing the icon of one ImageButton.

I would think only one of two things could be happening. Either this code never gets hit, or the variables are not referring to the same object instances you're expecting them to. Have you put a breakpoint inside that condition? I would check that a break point even gets hit in there, and then check that the variables are pointing at the correct button instances.
Without seeing the rest of the code I have to ask...why are you checking on a progress bar for a "finished playing" condition versus using the media players on completion callback?
I'm doing something very similar, and I use the MediaPlayer's OnCompletionListener to flip the visibility of my buttons.

I don't remember the details of Android GUI manipulation but could it have to do that you're doing it from another thread and you're not supposed to?

i noticed that setting an ImageButton to View.INVISIBLE is not working when you have set an Animation to it. you have to remove the Animation then make it Invisible. bad pitfall i think...
