I wanted to put a TextView into a CustomView. I had put it by using findViewById. That TextView I had directly inserted into the xml. Now i wanted to add text when a touch event is made.
Inside the ViewActivity I had put this.
public void getTextv(TextView tv)
{
tv1=tv;
}
int hit;
public void setText()
{
if(touch==true)
tv1.setText(hit);
}
Inside the main i had put ViewActivity.getTexttv(tv);
Then i got a error whenever text was added.
Is your error a nullpointerexception maybe?
shouldn't you set touch=true in getTextv(..)?
tv.setText(String.valueOf(hit))
you should parse it to String firstly.
for the setText(int), the parameter should be a string resource.
Use
tv.setText(hit+"");
As textview also takes an integer valuw which it thinks as an id from R.java file. So , you will get the error like :
Resourse id 0x02 was not found

I have 10 TextView on screen . Now i want get id,string of Textview which i click.
I don't want setOnClickListener for every textview .
Sorry for bad English.
If your TextView are defined in XML then set clickable:"true" and then onClick:"onTextViewClick" to all of your TextViews.
Then in your activity create a method like this:
void onTextViewClick(View view){
int clickedId = view.getId();
}
In my activity I have the following views
TextView player1;
TextView player2;
TextView player3;
TextView player4;
EditText player1name;
EditText player2name;
EditText player3name;
EditText player4name;
Each of the TextView's has the onclick listener applied to it. and so fires the OnClick function.
When we get to the onClick this is what i am currently doing:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//the v variable is the clicked textview, in this case "player1"
//hide the textview and show the resultant edittext
v.setVisibility(View.GONE);
player1name.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
//set focus on edit text and when focus is lost hide it and set the textview text
player1name.requestFocus();
imm.showSoftInput(player1name, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
player1name.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View y, boolean x) {
v.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
player1name.setVisibility(View.GONE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(player1name.getWindowToken(), 0);
String name = player1name.getText().toString();
if (name.equals("")) {
v.setText("Player Name1");
} else {
v.setText(name);
}
}
});
}
However with this solution I will need to duplicate this code and change the view names for player2 - player2name, player3 - player3name etc
i can obviously grab the clicked TextView via v, however what i cant seem to do is grab its corresponding EditText.
i had thought of doing this:
View test = v + "name";
//then i replace all references to player1name with the test variable
but it doesnt work it wants me to convert View test; into a string
any suggestions?
EDIT: made it easier to understand my question
View test = v + "name";
will give a compile error. Because "v" is not a string type. and also even if it was String, test is not. This line is pretty wrong.
There a few options to achieve what you want,
You can use hashmap
Declare a global field for hashmap
private final HashMap<Integer,EditText> map = new HashMap<Integer,EditText>();
and in onCreate method put your textview id as key, and put your edittext variables in value.
player1name = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.player1name);
map.put(R.id.textView1, player1name);
// for the rest
in onClick method
EditText e = map.get(v.getId());
Then replace them with "e"
e.requestFocus(); //example
Will you please state your problem clearly? Currently, your language is very ambiguous and I can not figure out, exactly what are you looking for. It will help us to know your problem and in turn solve it.
with this code, my program just force close(error)
***public View x = findViewById(R.string.nfoname);***
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.information);
//edittext
***final EditText infoname=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.infoname);***
//clear,confirm
Button clear = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonclear);
Button confirm = (Button)findViewById(R.id.buttonconfirm);
//clear button
clear.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
infoname.setText("");
}
});
//confirm button
confirm.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
***x=(View) infoname.getText();***
}
});
}
the one with the * are the source of error
program function:
if the user clicks confirm, his name will be set to R.string.nfoname
which will then be used in another layout through TextView x = setText(R.string.nfoname);
I am not sure that you can save text to the R.string. This is a generated class that the compiler creates for you. It gets packaged with your apk. Think of the resources as a means of translation and to present text to the screen.
I think what you would want to do is save the user input as a SharedPreference or in a database.
See:SharedPreferences on the android docs for an example usage.
At least in the case of your variable infoname scoping is most likely causing your application to throw an error. infoname is a local variable to the function onCreate(), not an instance variable for your class, so it can't be accessed by your onClick() methods because they are part of an anonymous class.
Another thing I'd question is why you marked infoname as final? It goes out of scope when onCreate() exits so if it gets changed, you can see who changed it since it only exists while the method is executing.
You cannot set values to R.string.xxx because all these values will be constants much like a read only stuff. If you want to use the value of edit text to another layout use class variables or intent.putextra()
Coming to ur source code i see this
public View x = findViewById(R.string.nfoname);
How can a view be found by R.String? This should be R.id.
final EditText infoname=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.infoname);
Why this editText has to be final?
***x=(View) infoname.getText();***
You just use infoname.getText().toString() you will get the string value of the Edittext's current text.
Dude you can do stuff simply.
public View x = findViewById(R.string.nfoname);
This can't work as not only are you trying to find a View using a R.string resource id, you are doing it before setContenView(...) is called in your onCreate(...) method. Even if you used a valid View resource id such as R.id.infoname then x will be null because the content view hasn't been inflated yet.
final EditText infoname=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.infoname);
Apart from the pointless use of final this should'nt cause problems as long as R.id.infoname is actually the resource id of an EditText.
x=(View) infoname.getText();
Not only will x be null but calling getText() on an EditText returns an Editable which is not a View nor is it possible to cast it to View. Even if you used getText().toString() which is the correct way to get the text from an EditText it still wouldn't be possible to cast a String to a View.
Also, as for this...
TextView x = setText(R.string.nfoname);
It would have to be...
TextView x = (TextView) findViewById(<some id>);
x.setText(getString(R.string.nfoname));
I have dynamically generated ImageButtons with different ImageResource for each ImageButton. Now I want to know which ImageButton was clicked, how can I determine this ?
Need your help.
Thanks.
you can set an id for each created ImageButton and getId() for check witch button clicked
ImageButton im=new ImageButton(Yourcontext);
im.setId(giveAnID);
//where you check
int theID=im.getId();
In order to do this you could do two things:
Firstly, when dynamically generated the ImageButton you could call setId() in order to set a specific id to this View and store it in List, etc.
Then when you have a click event (or anything else), you can call the getId() method of the View to get the id.
Then you can compare and do anything you want.
Hope this helps!
Any resource is uniquely identified by its id which is generated in R.java file.
So you can use something like :
if(image.getId() == R.id.image) {
// do awesome stuff
}
If your code generates the imageButtons then, in this code you can write something like,
imageButton.setId(1);
and when your imageButton is clicked then you can get it with,
int id = imageButton.getId();
i had to do same thing and this is what i have done
for(int i = 0 ;i<mediaList.size();i++){
view_media_gallery_item = LayoutInflater.from(view.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.e_media_gallery_item, null);
TextView title = (TextView) view_media_gallery_item.findViewById(R.id.media_gallery_item_title);
TextView subtitle = (TextView) view_media_gallery_item.findViewById(R.id.media_gallery_item_subtitle);
ImageView flux_Title_Image =(ImageView) view_media_gallery_item.findViewById(R.id.media_gallery_item_img);
title.setId(i+100);
subtitle.setId(i+1000);
flux_Title_Image.setId(2000+i);
title.setText("" +mediaList.get(i).getTitle());
subtitle.setText(""+mediaList.get(i).getArtist());
System.out.println("view added::::");
view_media_gallery_item.setTag(mediaList.get(i));
view_media_gallery_item.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
System.out.println("view media clicked");
Media m = (Media )v.getTag();
medialistner.setOnItemclick(m);
}
});
I wolud like to set button's gravity value from default center to right using TextView.setGravity() method, but when I call it nothing happens. In LogCat output using getGravity() method I still see the first value - 17 (center).
Tell me please, how can I change button's gravity value, using setGravity() method?
Here is code snippet which describes setting the view's gravity:
public void setGravity(String gravitation) {
if(controlledView != null) {
String gravityValues[] = gravitation.split("|");
for(String gravity : gravityValues) {
if(gravity.equals("center")) {
controlledView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
}
else if(gravity.equals("top")) {
controlledView.setGravity(Gravity.TOP);
}
else if(gravity.equals("bottom")) {
controlledView.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);
}
else if(gravity.equals("right")) {
controlledView.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
}
else if(gravity.equals("left")) {
controlledView.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
}
}
}
}
where controlledView is instance of Button class.
TextView textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.mytextviewid);
textView.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
I'm assuming you weren't using Gravity.RIGHT; other valid values can be found in the Gravity constants.
I'm sory for this post, found my mistake myself. I pass to split() method Java Regex API's metacharacter '|' and get all symbols of string. Should choose any other split symbols for string.
You can use in XML layout's like > (RightClick->Properties->Gravity->"your option")
