I have a button in my application that I would like to only be clickable once every 60 seconds. Once it is clicked, it would be disabled and I would like some sort of a cooldown timer, like a progress bar inside the button that decreases as time remaining to next click decreases.
I'm using a CountdownTimer at the moment, but I would like to know how to do is to implement the progress bar inside the button as described above.
You should use a TimerTask. Here's example that I think is a perfect match for your question

Sorry if the title makes no sense. What I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to long click a button, and once the long click is detected, to keep on doing a certain task.
To put it into context, I have a view with a background that changes to a random color on click. I would like to have the background keep on changing color as long as I long click the button. So, basically, upon long click and keeping the button pressed, the background will keep on changing.
Thank you very much folks :)
This isn't possible with view.setOnLongClickListener() because an OnLongClickListener has a very specific way of functioning. As soon as enough time has passed, the listener will activate and the code is run.
What you want is to use view.setOnTouchListener(). This way you can set a Timer when it detects a MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN. Once the timer is long enough to equal a long click, you can have it trigger your color changing code repeatedly until the OnTouchListener detects a MotionEvent.ACTION_UP. That's when you can stop the color changing code.
I m trying to build an app in which I want to use combination of buttons to give input and I want that when user presses multiple buttons then they can press buttons in a gap of 2 sec and then finally I want to write code for the combination of buttons. Is there any listener for this type of operation?
No there is no listener Nidhi. you may create a flag and set it on button click and unset in a timer. so when user click on a button he will not be able to click other button until timer unset the flag.
I am creating a news app which contains a 'share news' button. Currently this button is showing all the time when user reads the news, which makes news reading irritating. Now my question is how can I make that share button show up when user touch on the screen, and will disappear after 2-3 seconds if it is left without touching. It would be nice if I can make a little animation during the button appearing/disappearing (like, show up from bottom and disappear going down). Please help...
Thanks
add an on touch event on your view and change visibilty of your button visible when touched after that start an timer using handler for three seconds and set visibility gone there after three seconde for handler code check this answer

In order to fudge multitouch buttons, I set a massive invisible imageView over top of everything. The I just poll for where it was touched and call performClick on the button in that area under it. Now my problem is that performClick only calls the onClick method, and doesn't actually perform a legitimate button press, so there's no animation (color change etc). I have a custom xml for the buttons, and it worked fine without the imageView. I try using setPressed and setEnabled, but the png never changes, and the button looks static. What am I missing?
How about tying a Boolean to each button. All the button logic does is flip flop the variable and maybe change an indicator (button color or text) to pushed/not pushed. Shouldn't be more than 3 or 4 lines of code executed per button press. Fire the heavy code when a 'do it' button is pressed. That would have to be faster than computing which button was pressed under the overlay...
I am new to android i wish to create a button like a Equalizer Button. At the time of track the button i need to do some work.Can any one help me
I think you're looking for the SeekBar. That's a View derived from the ProgressBar, but with a "thumb" so it looks like a slider control. A user can use the thumb to move left or right from min to max. You don't have to use it like a progress bar to track the progress of something, and can receive notifications that the user is touching and moving the thumb using a SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener.
