Android can not remove button

I am trying to remove a button when the button itself is tapped, I am trying the following:
View.OnClickListener getOnClickDoSomething(final Button button) {
return new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
tagsView.removeView(button);
}
};
}
This code is working, but when I add the following line of code:
editText.setText(button.getText());
The code stops working and the button does not get removed. I add it like so:
View.OnClickListener getOnClickDoSomething(final Button button) {
return new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.setText(button.getText());
tagsView.removeView(button);
}
};
}
What is the problem here?

use this in your OnClick method
button.setVisibility(view.GONE);
Your code will look like this
View.OnClickListener getOnClickDoSomething(final Button button) {
return new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
editText.setText(button.getText());
button.setVisibility(view.GONE);
}
};
}
Or Try this
Button mybtn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.mybtn_id);
mybtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
mybtn.setVisibility(view.GONE); // or (view.INVISIBLE)
}
});

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, something like deejay proposed would work just fine. If want the button to hide, call button.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE). However, if you are trying to dismiss it completely from the view hierarchy, call button.setVisibility(View.GONE).

just set button visibility to false

Obviously button.setVisibility(View.GONE) comes to mind but if it doesn't work you should look one level above for the source of the bug. Maybe you don't set OnClickListener you created to the button and hence nothing happens?

what is better way to organize onclicklistener? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Multiple Buttons' OnClickListener() android

Closed 7 years ago.
When you have many buttons in a view and all the button have listener. Your main activity gets dirty.
Anyone know how to organize listeners ?
Currently I used this way and implement onClickListener.
spotify =(Button)findViewById(R.id.spotifyBtn);
superDuoBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.superDuoBtn);
libraryBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.libraryBtn);
buildBiggerBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buildItBiggerBtn);
capstoneBtn= (Button) findViewById(R.id.capstoneApp);
spotify.setOnClickListener(this);
superDuoBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
libraryBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
buildBiggerBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
capstoneBtn.setOnClickListener(this);

You could set the property:
android:onClick="buttonClicked"
in the xml file for each of those buttons, and use this in the java code:
public void buttonClicked(View view) {
if (view.getId() == R.id.button1) {
// button1 action
} else if (view.getId() == R.id.button2) {
//button2 action
} else if (view.getId() == R.id.button3){
//button3 action
}
}

You can implement onclicklistner for multiple buttons using swith case
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.firstButton:
// do your code
break;
case R.id.secButton:
// do your code
break;
case R.id.thirdButton:
// do your code
break;
......
default:
break;
}
}

Ya...It s the best way to use multiple onClickListener.
spotify =(Button)findViewById(R.id.spotifyBtn);
superDuoBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.superDuoBtn);
libraryBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.libraryBtn);
buildBiggerBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.buildItBiggerBtn);
capstoneBtn= (Button) findViewById(R.id.capstoneApp);
spotify.setOnClickListener(this);
superDuoBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
libraryBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
buildBiggerBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
capstoneBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = null;
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.spotifyBtn:
intent = new Intent(this, SimpleSingleExample.class);
break;
case R.id.superDuoBtn:
intent = new Intent(this, CustomExample.class);
break;
case R.id.libraryBtn:
intent = new Intent(this, SequenceExample.class);
break;
case R.id.buildItBiggerBtn:
Toast.makeText(this, "Welcome", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
break;
}
if(intent!=null){
startActivity(intent);
}
}

If you want better way than you have to use Android Annotations, its simple and useful, you can find here

Add those View object references to some type of list, iterate through it usin a for-each loop, then call the setOnClickListener on each element which will reduce those lines to just 2 lines for you.
ArrayList <View> list = new ArrayList <>(spotify,superDuoBtn,libraryBtn, buildBiggerBtn, capstoneBtn);
for (View view : list) {
view.setOnClickListener(this);
}

The most obvious example of alternative approaches to solving a single problem seems to be the various ways you can handle button clicks. As far as I know, there are four different ways to add listeners for handling button clicks. If you know of other ways, please post a comment and share them with us.

Change button background more times

I'm wrinting an application for andorid and I have difficulties with change buttons background. I have a simple button and when the users click on the button change the background. I'd like to make the button to turn back into the original form when the user click on it again.
I have no idea how to do that, if anyone has one please response!

use the android.R.drawable.btn_default in order to change the button to default color

#Howlett Logan : You can try this way,
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextButton"
/>
Then
public boolean flag=true; // Global
Button buttonTest;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
buttonTest=(Button)findViewById (R.id.button);
buttonTest.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.your_drawble);
buttonTest.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
if (flag)
{
buttonTest.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.your_image_1);
}else
{
buttonTest.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.your_image_2);
}
flag=!flag;
}
});
}

Facing problem in implementing OnClickListener on android

I want to implement a click listener for a button on my main view. My code is something like below
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedValues) {
...
// Capture our button from layout
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnFinish);
// Register the onClick listener with the implementation above
button.setOnClickListener(mFinishListener);
...
}
private OnClickListener mFinishListener = new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// do something when the button is clicked
}
};
But shows me error as follows
The method setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener) in the type View is not applicable for the arguments (DialogInterface.OnClickListener) MobileTrackerActivity.java /MobileTracker/src/com/example/mobiletracker line 37 Java Problem
I have no idea what to do. Please help.

You are not using the correct interface to instantiate the mFinishLinstener variable...
It is possible you have an import specifying DialogInterface and that is confusing the view.
Try specifying View.OnClickListener explicitly.
private View.OnClickListener mFinishListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// do something when the button is clicked
}
};

As per my opinion Best way to implement On click event for the Button.
Instead of applying an OnClickListener to the button in your activity, you can assign a method to your button in the XML layout, using the android:onClick attribute. For example:
<Button
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/self_destruct"
android:onClick="selfDestruct" />
Now, when a user clicks the button, the Android system calls the activity's selfDestruct(View) method. In order for this to work, the method must be public and accept a View as its only parameter. For example:
public void selfDestruct(View view) {
// Kabloey
}
Note: The above code is given in Android SDK - Button.

try this code :::
final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnFinish);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Perform action on click
}
});

Simply try this one as:
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// do something when the button is clicked
}
};

you can also use like below code..
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnFinish);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
//Write Your code here
}
});

You can also declare the onclick in the xml.
<Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:onclick="buttonClick" />
And in your code you would define the function as:
public void buttonClick(View view)
{
// handle click
}

Button in slidingdrawer!

I'm having a button in a sliding drawer in a Android Application. The problem is it does not seem to react to any clicks as normal buttons do.
I'm guessing the problem is that it's a different view than buttons on the normal view.
If I implement a button the normal way like this
myAgenda = (Button)findViewById(R.id.BtnMyAgenda);
myAgenda.setOnClickListener(this);
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.BtnMyAgenda:
test.setAnimation(leftLeft);
test.startAnimation(leftLeft);
break;
}
I'm guessing there is something wrong with the above code since the button is in a SlidingDrawer and not in the "normal" view.
Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Here is the code
Register with event listner like below code
button.setOnClickListener(clickButtonListener);
and create this listner for button
private OnClickListener clickButtonListener= new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
if(v == button)
{
}
}
}

I actually found the solution to the problem, I simply created a new view.onclicklistener specific to that button.
final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
}
});
