OnClick for Floating Action Button

I'm new to working with floating action button and trying to get a few of the basic things working today. Currently I am stuck on getting the onClick functionality to work. I pulled most of the code from googles FAB basic example, and in there it has an onChecked method which sends a string to a logger to show you have clicked it.
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(FloatingActionButton fabView, boolean isChecked) {
// When a FAB is toggled, log the action.
switch (fabView.getId()){
case R.id.fab_1:
break;
default:
break;
}
}
I was thinking I'd be able to replace the functionality in there but that had no affect. So I tried to create the onClickListener like you would with any other button but that also had no affect. I am not sure how to continue since neither option worked. my goal is just to produce a dialog when the floating action button is clicked, but for now I am just trying to use a placeholder alert dialog.
This is the FloatingActionButtonFragment class:
public class FloatingActionButtonFragment extends Fragment implements FloatingActionButton.OnCheckedChangeListener {
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fab_layout, container, false);
// Make this {#link Fragment} listen for changes in both FABs.
FloatingActionButton fab1 = (FloatingActionButton) rootView.findViewById(R.id.fab_1);
fab1.setOnCheckedChangeListener(this);
fab1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setMessage("Are you sure?")
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// User cancelled the dialog
}
});
// Create the AlertDialog object and return it
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
}
});
return rootView;
}
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(FloatingActionButton fabView, boolean isChecked) {
// When a FAB is toggled, log the action.
switch (fabView.getId()){
case R.id.fab_1:
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
And here is the FloatingActionButton class:
public class FloatingActionButton extends FrameLayout implements Checkable {
/**
* Interface definition for a callback to be invoked when the checked state
* of a compound button changes.
*/
public static interface OnCheckedChangeListener {
/**
* Called when the checked state of a FAB has changed.
*
* #param fabView The FAB view whose state has changed.
* #param isChecked The new checked state of buttonView.
*/
void onCheckedChanged(FloatingActionButton fabView, boolean isChecked);
}
/**
* An array of states.
*/
private static final int[] CHECKED_STATE_SET = {
android.R.attr.state_checked
};
private static final String TAG = "FloatingActionButton";
// A boolean that tells if the FAB is checked or not.
private boolean mChecked;
// A listener to communicate that the FAB has changed it's state
private OnCheckedChangeListener mOnCheckedChangeListener;
public FloatingActionButton(Context context) {
this(context, null, 0, 0);
}
public FloatingActionButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0, 0);
}
public FloatingActionButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
this(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, 0);
}
public FloatingActionButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr,
int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
setClickable(true);
// Set the outline provider for this view. The provider is given the outline which it can
// then modify as needed. In this case we set the outline to be an oval fitting the height
// and width.
setOutlineProvider(new ViewOutlineProvider() {
#Override
public void getOutline(View view, Outline outline) {
outline.setOval(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
}
});
// Finally, enable clipping to the outline, using the provider we set above
setClipToOutline(true);
}
/**
* Sets the checked/unchecked state of the FAB.
* #param checked
*/
public void setChecked(boolean checked) {
// If trying to set the current state, ignore.
if (checked == mChecked) {
return;
}
mChecked = checked;
// Now refresh the drawable state (so the icon changes)
refreshDrawableState();
if (mOnCheckedChangeListener != null) {
mOnCheckedChangeListener.onCheckedChanged(this, checked);
}
}
/**
* Register a callback to be invoked when the checked state of this button
* changes.
*
* #param listener the callback to call on checked state change
*/
public void setOnCheckedChangeListener(OnCheckedChangeListener listener) {
mOnCheckedChangeListener = listener;
}
#Override
public boolean isChecked() {
return mChecked;
}
#Override
public void toggle() {
setChecked(!mChecked);
}
/**
* Override performClick() so that we can toggle the checked state when the view is clicked
*/
#Override
public boolean performClick() {
toggle();
return super.performClick();
}
#Override
protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
// As we have changed size, we should invalidate the outline so that is the the
// correct size
invalidateOutline();
}
#Override
protected int[] onCreateDrawableState(int extraSpace) {
final int[] drawableState = super.onCreateDrawableState(extraSpace + 1);
if (isChecked()) {
mergeDrawableStates(drawableState, CHECKED_STATE_SET);
}
return drawableState;
}
}
There isn't much to either class at this point, they are mostly husks, but I just want to get this basic functionality down before I continue, and being the noob I am, I don't know why this wouldn't work.

If you are not already heading for deadline, you must change the floating action button to the one provided by google in design library
just follow http://android-developers.blogspot.in/2015/05/android-design-support-library.html
Add to the XML Layout:
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="#+id/myFAB"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/your_icon"
app:elevation="4dp"
... />
Add to the code behind:
FloatingActionButton myFab = (FloatingActionButton) myView.findViewById(R.id.myFAB);
myFab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
doMyThing();
}
});
For more details follow : FloatingActionButton example with Support Library

Actually now with android support library it was very easy to add FAB and to customize it with click listeners
FloatingActionButton fab = findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// FAB Action goes here
}
});
Reference : http://androidgifts.com/android-material-design-floating-action-button-tutorial/

To use dialog/Alertdialog with the floating action button you're using, try changing your onClick(View v) from this
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
to
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(v.getContext());

Android adding event to a CustomPreference element (TextView)

I'm doing an with a PreferenceActivity with two Fragments, each one containing a PreferenceScreen.
The thing I want to do is to create an event listener on a Custom preference that I have (a row of this custom Preference is a TextView with a SwitchView). I handle well the Switch preference, it keeps it saved as I want, but now what I want to do is add an event on the TextView between the SwitchView to show what I want on the other part of the screen (the second Fragment).
Let me show you my current code.
This is my CustomPreference (it's just a TextView and a Switch)
public class ItemPreference extends Preference{
private static TextView text; // this is the text at the left of the switch, it's where i want to handle the event
// to show an other preferencescreen in the fragment between
private Switch switcher; // the key of the preference is for the SWITCH !!
private boolean checked;
private Context context;
public TextView getCustomText(){
return text;
}
public ItemPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
this.context = context;
setLayoutResource(R.layout.row_setting); // the layout resource of my custom preference
}
#Override
protected void onBindView(View view) {
super.onBindView(view);
text = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.buttonRowSetting);
// to display the text in the TextView between the Switch, I use the key of the Switch
if (this.getKey().equals("pref_key_classification"))
text.setText(R.string.title_activity_classification);
// the switchview and it's preference saving
switcher = (Switch)view.findViewById(R.id.switchRowSetting);
Boolean value = this.getPersistedBoolean(false);
if (value){
switcher.setChecked(true);
} else {
switcher.setChecked(false);
}
switcher.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener(){
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
setSwitchChecked(isChecked);
}
});
}
public void setSwitchChecked(boolean value) {
if (checked != value) {
checked = value;
persistBoolean(value);
notifyDependencyChange(shouldDisableDependents());
notifyChanged();
}
}
#Override
protected Object onGetDefaultValue(TypedArray a, int index) {
return a.getBoolean(index, false);
}
#Override
protected void onClick() {
super.onClick();
}
#Override
protected void onSetInitialValue(boolean restorePersistedValue, Object defaultValue) {
setSwitchChecked(restorePersistedValue ? getPersistedBoolean(checked) : (Boolean) defaultValue);
}
#Override
protected Parcelable onSaveInstanceState() {
return super.onSaveInstanceState();
}
#Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(state);
}
}
This is the SettingsFragment, on the left part of the screen, where I want to handle the event to show what I want on the other part of the screen.
public class SettingsFragment extends PreferenceFragment {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.settings); // the left preferencefragment
Preference stat = (Preference) findPreference(getString(R.string.pref_key_statistic));
stat.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new OnPreferenceClickListener() {
public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
if(getActivity() instanceof OnSettingPageListener){
// if i click on this preference, this loads this preferencescreen on the other fragment, works well.
((OnSettingPageListener)getActivity()).onSettingPageChange(R.xml.settings_stat);
}
return true;
}
});
// this is the custompreference, i would like to handle here a listener on the TextView to display a specific preferencescreen on the other fragment
ItemPreference classif = (ItemPreference) findPreference(getString(R.string.pref_key_classification));
// i tried this, and i also tried to make my own Listener also, but doesn't works
classif.getCustomText().setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (getActivity() instanceof OnSettingPageListener){
// the content i want to load on the other fragment
((OnSettingPageListener)getActivity()).onSettingPageChange(R.xml.settings_classification);
}
}
});
}
// [...]
}
So I hope you understand what's my problem, it's just a matter of listener. Does someone has a solution?

I'm not sure if you want the event on your first fragment to show the second fragment (for further editing) or if you want the event to make a change visible to the second fragment.
Let's say you want the change to be visible to the second fragment:
Have your second fragment implement SharedPreference.OnSharedPreferenceChangeListener with method onSharedPreferenceChanged, implemented to do what you want to have happen when the preference in the first fragment changes.
In the second fragment's onResume method, call registerOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener on your SharedPreferences object.
In the second fragment's onPause method, call unregisterOnSharedPreferenceChangeListener on your SharedPreferences object.
Now, if you want to show the second fragment for editing the preference in the first fragment:
Give your preference a fragment attribute that declares the fragment class that edits your preference
Have your first fragment implement PreferenceFragment.OnPreferenceStartFragmentCallback with method onPreferenceStartFragment implemented to instantiate your second fragment and display it. Your PreferenceActivity subclass will invoke this callback when the preference is clicked.

I finally found a solution, my problem was the way the handle a listener on the textview of my custom preference. I followed the observer pattern and made it work on my own listener.
On my fragment I instantiated my CustomSwitchPreference (I just renamed the ItemPreference class you can see upstairs ^^). I called my own listener, you will see the code after.
CustomSwitchPreference classif = (CustomSwitchPreference)
findPreference(getString(R.string.pref_key_classification));
classif.setHandlerListener(new ItemPreferenceTextViewListener() {
#Override
public void onHandle(TextView textView) {
if (getActivity() instanceof OnSettingPageListener){
((OnSettingPageListener)getActivity())
.onSettingPageChange(R.xml.settings_classification);
}
}
});
And there we go for the listener in the CustomPreference class, first create an interface to made your own listener (you can write it in the same file as the CustomPreference class you are doing) :
interface ItemPreferenceTextViewListener {
// the function which is going to be called when we will use our listener
void onHandle(TextView textView);
}
And then in the CustomPreference class you do this :
// you can put the interface here if you want to make it visible
public class CustomSwitchPreference extends Preference {
private static TextView text;
// the key of the preference is for the SWITCH !! this activates or
// not the "game" on the mainscreen
private Switch switcher;
private boolean checked;
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \\
// create a listener in your own custom preference
ItemPreferenceTextViewListener itemPreferenceTextViewListener ;
// this is the function to handle the event on the textview of the
// custom preference item, creates the listener
public void setHandlerListener(ItemPreferenceTextViewListener listener) {
itemPreferenceTextViewListener = listener;
}
// to make the event happen on a textview
// (we will pass the right textview in the onBindView(....) )
protected void myEventListener(TextView textView) {
if(itemPreferenceTextViewListener!=null)
itemPreferenceTextViewListener.onHandle(textView);
}
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \\
/**
* #param context
* #param attrs
*/
public CustomSwitchPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setLayoutResource(R.layout.row_setting);
}
#Override
protected void onBindView(View view) {
super.onBindView(view);
// the TextView at the right of the switch, this one
// handles a listener to show the other page preference
text = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.buttonRowSetting);
// I called it buttonRowSetting because it will handle an event like a button
// I set the text of this TextView with the
// key preference of the related switch
if (this.getKey().equals("pref_key_classification"))
text.setText(R.string.title_activity_classification);
else if (this.getKey().equals("pref_key_matching"))
text.setText(R.string.title_activity_matching);
else if (this.getKey().equals("pref_key_intruder"))
text.setText(R.string.title_activity_intruder);
else if (this.getKey().equals("pref_key_semantic"))
text.setText(R.string.title_activity_semantic);
// AND HERE it's where it happens, simply make a basic listener
// on the textview, and inside the onClick method, handle your own
// listener, on the TextView you initialized just before)
text.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// just call
itemPreferenceTextViewListener.onHandle(text);
}
});
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \\
// to keep the Switch saved in the preferences
switcher = (Switch)view.findViewById(R.id.switchRowSetting);
Boolean value = this.getPersistedBoolean(false);
if (value){
switcher.setChecked(true);
} else {
switcher.setChecked(false);
}
switcher.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener(){
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
boolean isChecked) {
setSwitchChecked(isChecked);
}
});
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \\
}
public void setSwitchChecked(boolean value) {
if (checked != value) {
checked = value;
persistBoolean(value);
notifyDependencyChange(shouldDisableDependents());
notifyChanged();
}
}
#Override
protected Object onGetDefaultValue(TypedArray a, int index) {
return a.getBoolean(index, false);
}
#Override
protected void onClick() {
super.onClick();
}
#Override
protected void onSetInitialValue(boolean restorePersistedValue,
Object defaultValue) {
setSwitchChecked(restorePersistedValue
? getPersistedBoolean(checked) : (Boolean) defaultValue);
}
#Override
protected Parcelable onSaveInstanceState() {
return super.onSaveInstanceState();
}
#Override
protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(state);
}
}
Hope this helps, it was my mistake I did not called the onHandle method inside the myTextView.onClickListener. Hope this will help one to understand well how the observer pattern works.

Customize android search widget for scoped search

I want to implement search filter in my android application. I have gone through the examples on how to integrate search filter and able to understand how to integrate it in application. But my requirement is to provide scoped search based a filter while doing search. I have tried to search similar implementations but was not able to find any examples. Please check section Scoped Search in this UI Pattern collection, especially Dropbox example for iphone.
As mentioned before I was unable to find similar example in android but by looking at Dictionary.com 's application (snapshot shown below) I came to know that its possible in android also (of course by adding some more efforts in case its not possible with Search Widget itself). Can any one please provide any directions how I can implement similar scoped search in my application ?
Thanks for spending time on this.

I would do the following:
first i create a searchType layout for the alertdialog with the choose: (images, video, etc..)
then i create the activity for the search and implement the widget(like on android guide).
in the activity create a variable:
private String searchType = "";
then
...
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.YOUR_MENU, menu);
MenuItem menuItem = menu.findItem(R.id.action_search);
SearchView searchView = (SearchView) MenuItemCompat
.getActionView(menuItem);
searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() {
//HERE INSERT THE CODE ABOUT THE ALERT DIALOG FOR THE CHOOSE
//THEN INSERT THE aALERT DIALOG RESPONSE INTO THE searchType VARIABLE
}
}

I have created a custom search widget that does not make use of the built in search functionality. Its simple to implement and can provide information to the current activity.
It also uses an Autocomplete textview so you can use Autocomplete, you could alternatively just replace this with a normal EditText.
public class CustomViewSearch extends View {
private CustomAutoCompleteView searchEditText;
private boolean viewShown = false;
private ActionBar actionBar;
private InputMethodManager inputMethodManager;
private OnEditorActionSearchListener onEditorActionSearchListener;
private List<String> dataItems;
private ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter;
public interface OnEditorActionSearchListener {
void onEditorActionSearch(String searchText);
void onTextChangedListener(String text);
List<String> getNewItemsForSuggestions(String text);
}
public void setOnEditorActionSearchListener(OnEditorActionSearchListener l) {
onEditorActionSearchListener = l;
}
// IMPORTANT: Provide your activity as the context
public CustomViewSearch(final Context context, List<String> items) {
super(context);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View searchView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_view_search_widget, null);
actionBar = ((ActionBarActivity) context).getSupportActionBar();
inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
actionBar.setCustomView(searchView);
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
dataItems = items;
searchEditText = (CustomAutoCompleteView) searchView.findViewById(R.id.edit_text_search);
searchEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH) {
onEditorActionSearchListener.onEditorActionSearch(searchEditText.getText().toString());
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
searchEditText.requestFocus();
searchEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
onEditorActionSearchListener.onTextChangedListener(s.toString());
}
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) {
}
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
dataItems = onEditorActionSearchListener.getNewItemsForSuggestions(s.toString());
// update the adapater
arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, dataItems);
arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
searchEditText.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
}
});
ImageButton closeImageButton = (ImageButton) searchView.findViewById(R.id.image_button_search_close);
closeImageButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (searchEditText.getText().length() > 0) {
searchEditText.setText("");
} else {
hideKeyboard();
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(true);
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(false);
viewShown = false;
}
}
});
viewShown = true;
showKeyboard();
}
public String actionClick() {
if (!viewShown) {
actionBar.setDisplayShowTitleEnabled(false);
actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);
searchEditText.requestFocus();
showKeyboard();
viewShown = true;
return null;
} else {
return getSearchText();
}
}
public void showKeyboard() {
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(searchEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
public void hideKeyboard() {
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
public String getSearchText() {
return searchEditText.getText().toString();
} }
The corresponding xml layout for the search :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<za.co.android.CustomAutoCompleteView android:id="#+id/edit_text_search"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/empty_layout"
android:paddingBottom="8dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:singleLine="true"
android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
android:textCursorDrawable="#null"
android:paddingRight="36dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:inputType="text"
android:hint="#string/search"
android:textColorHint="#color/palette_primary_light_grey"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/image_button_search_close"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:drawable/ic_menu_close_clear_cancel"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/empty_layout"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/empty_layout"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true">
</FrameLayout>
The custom autocomplete widget code:
public class CustomAutoCompleteView extends AutoCompleteTextView {
public CustomAutoCompleteView(Context context) {
super(context);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public CustomAutoCompleteView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public CustomAutoCompleteView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
// this is how to disable AutoCompleteTextView filter
#Override
protected void performFiltering(final CharSequence text, final int keyCode) {
String filterText = "";
super.performFiltering(filterText, keyCode);
}
/*
* after a selection we have to capture the new value and append to the existing text
*/
#Override
protected void replaceText(final CharSequence text) {
super.replaceText(text);
}}
Usage of the CustomViewSearch widget:
Add a search icon to the menu.xml for the Activity. Then in the onOptionsItemSelected method - when the menu item is clicked, call the below function:
public void triggerSearch() {
if (customViewSearch == null) {
customViewSearch = new CustomViewSearch(this, null);
customViewSearch.setOnEditorActionSearchListener(new CustomViewSearch.OnEditorActionSearchListener() {
#Override
public void onEditorActionSearch(String searchText) {
// DO SOME STUFF
((AppItemListFragment_) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.appitem_list)).searchTriggered(searchText);
}
#Override
public void onTextChangedListener(String text) {
((AppItemListFragment_) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.appitem_list)).searchTriggered(text);
}
#Override
public List<String> getNewItemsForSuggestions(String text) {
return getNewAutoCompleteStrings(text);
}
});
} else {
String searchText = customViewSearch.actionClick();
if (searchText != null) {
// DO SOME STUFF
((AppItemListFragment_) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.appitem_list)).searchTriggered(searchText);
}
}}
I hope this helps - for me it was much easier to implement a custom search than use the built in one and provides a scoped search for any screen you are on.

Custom dialog in custom class returns boolean value

I have searched for the answer and dont find it, so please help me :)
I have a custom class:
public class CustomClass {
private final Context ctx;
public CustomClass(Context ctx) {
this.ctx = ctx;
}
public boolean setDialog(int head, int text) {
final boolean value;
final Dialog d = new Dialog(ctx);
d.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
d.setContentView(R.layout.custom2_dialog);
TextView txtHead = (TextView) d.findViewById(R.id.custom2_txtHead);
txtHead.setText(ctx.getResources().getString(head));
TextView txtText = (TextView) d.findViewById(R.id.custom2_txtText);
txtText.setText(ctx.getResources().getString(text));
Button btnOK = (Button) d.findViewById(R.id.custom2_btnOK);
btnOK.setText("OK");
btnOK.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
value = true;
d.dismiss();
}
});
Button btnNO = (Button) d.findViewById(R.id.custom2_btnNO);
btnNO.setText("NO");
btnNO.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
value = false;
d.dismiss();
}
});
d.show();
return value;
}
}
You can see that i have a custom dialog created in my custom class because i dont want to create in every activity a dialog. Now when i use it in an Activity:
CustomClass cC = new CustomClass(this);
if(cC.setDialog(R.string.head, R.string.text)) {
// user checked OK
} else {
// user checked NO
}
How to know if user checked OK or NO, because the return true, false value dont work in custom class, the dialog wont wait before the user clicks, it automatic return a value.

Here is the solution to your question.
First of all, if you are creating the Custom dialog then you have to to extend the Dialog class to read the response and implement the OnClickListener.
class CustomizeDialog extends Dialog implements OnClickListener
{
// some code
public CustomizeDialog(Activity activity, String title, String msg, int i, Typeface typeface)
{
super(activity);
this.activity = activity;
intFlag = i;
setContentView(R.layout.relative);
dialogButtonYes = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonCustomDialogYes);
dialogButtonNo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buttonCustomDialogNo);
textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewCustomTitle);
this.msg = msg;
dialogButtonNo.setOnClickListener(this);
dialogButtonYes.setOnClickListener(this);
}
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (v == dialogButtonYes)
{
Intent intent =new Intent(activity, CallForOne.class);
activity.startActivity(intent);
dismiss();
}
else
dismiss();
}
else if(intFlag == 2)
{
if (v == dialogButtonYes)
{
Intent intent =new Intent(activity, CallMe.class);
activity.startActivity(intent);
dismiss();
}
else
dismiss();
}
And the relative.xml file
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textViewCustomTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/textViewCustomTitle"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingBottom="1.0dip"
android:paddingLeft="4.0dip"
android:paddingRight="4.0dip"
android:paddingTop="5.0dip" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonCustomDialogYes"
style="#style/styleNormalButton"
android:layout_width="0.0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:text="#string/yes" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonCustomDialogNo"
style="#style/styleNormalButton"
android:layout_width="0.0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:text="#string/no" />
</LinearLayout>
And the main class
class Main implements OnClickListener
{
onCreate()
{
//your code
}
public void on click()
{
customizeDialog = new CustomizeDialog(CustomDialogExample.this,getString(R.string.title_for_one),getString(R.string.msg_for_one),1,"String");
customizeDialog.show();
}
}

I was facing the same problem here, then I found one solution, to open an Activity from button click in a custom dialog. But you can use this logic for another actions too.
My custom method:
public class Extension extends Activity{
public void showDialogConfirma(Activity localActivity, Class destActivity, String titulo, String mensagem){
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(localActivity);
dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.dialog_um_btn);
TextView textTitulo = dialog.findViewById(R.id.txtTitle);
textTitulo.setText(titulo);
Button btnOk = dialog.findViewById(R.id.btnOk);
btnOk.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
dialog.dismiss();
// here I can open any activity from any class
localActivity.startActivity(new Intent(localActivity, destActivity));
}
});
dialog.show();
}
}
You call this method like this:
Extension extension = new Extension();
// here you gonna pass your parameters to your Dialog on create it
// on my case the activity that I want open
extension.showDialogConfirma(ThisActivity.this, DestActivity.class, titulo, mensagem);

First of all the comment from #user370305 is the way to do it right. There can be other ways no doubts about that.
The problem you are facing is because when you are calling a method of custom class
if(cC.setDialog(R.string.head, R.string.text));
you are getting the value even though nothing has been clicked
return value;
as false which is the default value set when you are declaring
final boolean value;
Instead you should listen for the Cancel and Ok clicks

Closed 1 year ago.
I'm trying to set and onclicklistener so that when I click within the edittext element it will clear its current contents. Is there something wrong here? When I compile this code I get a force quit and ActivityManager: Can't dispatch DDM chunk 4d505251: no handler defined error.
public class Project extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
editText.setOnClickListener(this);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
editText.setText("");
}
}

Also you can use code below
editText.getText().clear();

First you need to call setContentView(R.layout.main) then all other initialization.
Please try below Code.
public class Trackfolio extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public EditText editText;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editText.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.getText().clear(); //or you can use editText.setText("");
}
}

just use the android:hint attribute in your EditText. This text shows up when the box is empty and not focused, but disappears upon selecting the EditText box.

We can clear EditText data in two ways
First One setting EditText is empty like below line
editext.setText("");
Second one clearing EditText data like this
editText.getText().clear();
I suggest second way

Your code should be:
public class Project extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
EditText editText;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editText.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(v == editText) {
editText.setText("");
}
}
}

For Kotlin:
Create two extensions, one for EditText and one for TextView
EditText:
fun EditText.clear() { text.clear() }
TextView:
fun TextView.clear() { text = "" }
and use it like
myEditText.clear()
myTextView.clear()

public EditText editField;
public Button clear = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.text_layout);
this. editField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.userName);
this.clear = (Button) findViewById(R.id.clear_button);
this.editField.setOnClickListener(this);
this.clear.setOnClickListener(this);
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(v.getId()==R.id.clear_button){
//setText will remove all text that is written by someone
editField.setText("");
}
}

Very Simple to clear editText values.when u click button then only follow 1 line code.
Inside button or anywhere u want.Only use this
editText.setText("");

package com.example.sampleproject;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class SampleProject extends Activity {
EditText mSearchpeople;
Button mCancel , msearchclose;
ImageView mprofile, mContact, mcalender, mConnection, mGroup , mFollowup , msetting , mAddacard;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.dashboard);
mSearchpeople = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
mCancel = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);
msearchclose = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
mprofile = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
mContact = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
mcalender = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView3);
mConnection = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView4);
mGroup = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView5);
mFollowup = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView6);
msetting = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView7);
mAddacard = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView8);
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onResume();
mCancel.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mSearchpeople.clearFocus();
}
});
}
}

i don't know what mistakes i did while implementing the above solutions, bt they were unsuccessful for me
txtDeck.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
txtDeck.setText("");
}
});
This works for me,

//To clear When Clear Button is Clicked
firstName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.firstName);
clear = (Button) findViewById(R.id.clearsearchSubmit);
clear.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (v.getId() == R.id.clearsearchSubmit);
firstName.setText("");
}
});
This will help to clear the wrong keywords that you have typed in so instead of pressing backspace again and again you can simply click the button to clear everything.It Worked For me. Hope It Helps

final EditText childItem = (EditText) convertView.findViewById(R.id.child_item);
childItem.setHint(cellData);
childItem.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
//Log.d("NNN", "Has focus " + hasFocus);
if (hasFocus) {
Toast.makeText(ctx.getApplicationContext(), "got the focus", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(ctx.getApplicationContext(),
"loss the focus", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return;
});

by setting Empty string you can clear your edittext
editext.setText("");

If the use of EditText is not mandatory, you can implement this behavior easily with the new material components:
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/hint_field"
app:endIconDrawable="#drawable/ic_close_black_24dp"
app:endIconMode="clear_text"
app:endIconTint="#color/black">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/hint_value"
android:maxLines="1"
android:text="#{itemModel.value}" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
You only have to specify the drawable you want for the button that will clear the text and the action that it will execute. To clear the text, you can use iconMode="clear_text", but also "password_toggle" is available.

In XML you can write like:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/txtsearch"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/roundlayoutbutton1"
android:ems="10"
android:gravity="center"
android:inputType="text"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:text="search_xxxx"
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
android:visibility="visible" />
and in java class you may have below one :
EditText searchHost;
OnCreate() you write:
searchHost=findViewById(R.id.txtsearch);
searchHost.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(searchHost.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("search_xxxx")){
searchHost.setText("");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Enter you text xxx...", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
});
It works fine for me.

You can use the 'android:hint' attribute in your EditText also from code:
editText.setHint(CharSequence hint / int resid);
Then you don't need any onClickListener or similar. But consider that the hint value won't be passed. The editText will be stayed empty. In this case you can set your editText with your deflault value:
if(editText.getText().toString().equals("")) {
...use your default value instead of the editText... }

It's simple: declare the widget variables (editText, textView, button etc.) in class but initialize it in onCreate after setContentView.
The problem is when you try to access a widget of a layout first you have to declare the layout. Declaring the layout is setContentView.
And when you initialize the widget variable via findViewById you are accessing the id of the widget in the main layout in the setContentView.
I hope you get it!

I am not sure if your searching for this one
{
<EditText
.
.
android:hint="Please enter your name here">
}
