How to know which button user clicked and its text and id in Android Studio?

Through out the whole android application I want to capture button click, radio button clicks, link click etc... basically a user interaction in whole android application. Is there any common method to detect which element user click and its values.?

Try using onCickListener() on the buttons.

In Kotlin:
Add id to button in .xml files with android:id="#+id/nameOfButton". Every button needs an unique name.
In .kt file, use setOnClickListener with the id to set up the action when user click the button.
If there are several buttons, just follow step 1 and 2.
Example:
step 1
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonSave"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Save" />
step 2
buttonSave.setOnclickListenter {
//TODO: your code goes here
}

Its very simple you just need to get the text and id of button from the onclick method. Here is java and xml code for it:
XML:
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:onclick="getid"
android:text="Save" />
JAVA:
public void getid(View v){
int id = v.getId();
String text = v.getText();
}

As #Muthukumar Lenin asked here is listview in xml and java
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/rl"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:textColor="#5f65ff"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="Choose is the best football player?"/>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/textview" />
</RelativeLayout>
JAVA:
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
final TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview);
String[] players = new String[] {"CR7", "Messi", "Hazard", "Neymar"};
List<String> Players_list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(players));
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, Players_list);
listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
String selectedItem = (String) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
textView.setText("The best football player is : " + selectedItem);
}
});
}
}
Some of these code are from tutorialspoint and some are edited by me.

Howto Add Integers to a Listview With Custom Adapter

i have one list view with two text views inside it, one edit text that is in the same activity but not in the list view and two buttons one to add to the list view and the other to delete from it.
how to add integers to the first text view, the sum of all integers to the second one, and to be from a custom adapter.
thank you.

The general behaviour/implementation that you've outlined in your question is very well documented. That said, I'd suggest considering utilising a RecyclerView with associated custom item view and adapter, as opposed to a ListView. There are a few reasons why I'd suggest this.
I did a little searching and found several examples that cover the general idea of your implementation. This example does a great job of illustrating how to achieve what you're seeking. The article begins by outlining some reasons to work with a RecyclerView over a ListView or GridView, then proceeds to give an in-depth run-down on how to implement a RecyclerView with custom adapter (and associated item view and item class).
At a glance, your implementation would require:
An Activity containing your RecyclerView, two Buttons (used for adding and deleting elements from the RecyclerView) and an EditText for taking user input.
A custom item View representing individual items of your RecyclerView list. This would contain the two TextView views (one for displaying the integer and the other for displaying the sum of all integers).
A custom item model Class to represent the data model for the above custom item View. This would hold an integer value and likely some logic for displaying the sum.
A custom RecyclerView adapter (which ties all of the above together). This will need to handle the task of binding data from your dataset (that grows and shrinks based on user input) to instances of your custom items that are to appear in the RecyclerView list. This adapter could also be used by your add and delete item buttons to modify the elements in the RecyclerView list.
The above is outlined in far greater depth in the link I provided earlier.
I sincerely hope that helps!

Dynamic CheckBoxes infinitely being added every click on TextView

I am new to Android Studio/Development, but not programming itself. I am struggling with the syntax (as I do think it is my problem) yet I cannot find a solution anywhere on here or on Google. I have this 2nd activity named FilterActivity. FilterActivity currently has 2 TextViews. Both create dynamic CheckBoxes. Right now, I only have one doing this so I can get one right before I go onto another. Here's the issue, I click on the TextView to get the dynamically created CheckBox and it shows perfectly fine. However, clicking on it again just adds the same values until it appears to completely fill the parent via xml.
No matter what I search, what I do, it all does the same exact thing. I know, I have nothing for onCheckedChanged, but I have previously before and it did not work either. So question(s), should I not be using LinearLayout and do like a container of sorts? There will be a decently big database for the checkboxes (500+) so I was thinking I would have to implement ScrollView at some point. Also, if LinearLayout is the correct way to go, what am I doing wrong? I am just completely spinning and I know it should not be this hard.
Thank you to anyone that gives feedback!

Android inflating views from other layouts

I'm relatively new to android development and I'm trying to find a way to inflate a view repeatedly each time when a button is pressed, in a different location, so every inflated view has its own position:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class teamCreateScreen extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.team_locate_layout);
}
public void createTeam(View view) {
final RelativeLayout rlTeam = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.rlTeam);
View teamBox = View.inflate(this, R.layout.team_box, rlTeam);
final TextView teamBoxView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.team_task_box);
teamBoxView.setX(0);
teamBoxView.setY(230);
}
}
The XML code of the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/rlTeam">
<Button
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:id="#+id/teamAddBtn"
android:text="+"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:onClick="createTeam"/>
</RelativeLayout>
XML code of the view that's being inflated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="192dp"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:id="#+id/team_task_box"
android:text="New Team" />
</RelativeLayout>
I want to use the same view to inflate multiple boxes with different coordinates in the layout. Every time I press the button to inflate the view again it inflates the box in the same coordinates so they overlap. I need to make the second box to appear to the first one's right, the third below 1st and so on, much like a grid of boxes.

Try this code and tell me whether it works. Remove the inflating of layout
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class teamCreateScreen extends Activity {
int i=0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.team_locate_layout);
}
public void createTeam(View view) {
final RelativeLayout rlTeam = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.rlTeam);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
TextView tv=new TextView(getApplicationContext());
if(tv.getId()>0) {
relativeParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, tv.getId());
}
tv.setId(i);
r1Team.addView(tv, relativeParams);
i++;
}
}
Declare int i=0; as a global variable and increment it in the createTeam() method.

Is it possible to dynamically add AndroidAnnotation #EViewGroups instead of using the traditional inflate directly?

I'm trying to use Android Annotations and dynamically add layout components when my createNewRow button is clicked. The app runs and displays the default rows defined in activity_main.xml and, after clicking createNewButton I see children attached to my dynamicTable in the debugger but the new children are not displayed. Here is my main activity XML:
activity_main.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/inflateLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="net.richardriley.inflate.app.MainActivity">
<Button
android:id="#+id/createNewRow"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/newRowButton"/>
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/dynamicTable">
<TableRow>
<TextView
android:text="#string/hello_world"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
So simply a linear layout with a button and then a table container. Clicking createNewRow should add a new InflatedRow. Here is the XML for the row I want to dynamically add:
inflatedrow.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/inflatedRowTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/inflatedRowLabel"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/inflatedRowButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/defaultNewRowText"
/>
</merge>
Using AA my subclass for a tableRow is
InflatedRow.java
package net.richardriley.inflate.app;
import android.content.Context;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TableRow;
import android.widget.TextView;
import org.androidannotations.annotations.EViewGroup;
import org.androidannotations.annotations.ViewById;
/**
* inflate : Created by rgr on 20/03/14.
*/
#EViewGroup(R.layout.inflatedrow)
public class InflatedRow extends TableRow {
#ViewById
Button inflatedRowButton;
#ViewById
TextView inflatedRowTextView;
public InflatedRow(Context context) {
super(context);
}
}
and finally my main activity java itself:
MainActivity.java
package net.richardriley.inflate.app;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.TableLayout;
import org.androidannotations.annotations.*;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import static ch.qos.logback.classic.android.BasicLogcatConfigurator.configureDefaultContext;
#OptionsMenu(R.menu.main)
#EActivity(R.layout.activity_main)
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
static {
configureDefaultContext();
log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MainActivity.class);
}
#ViewById
LinearLayout inflateLayout;
#ViewById
TableLayout dynamicTable;
public MainActivity() {
}
protected static Logger log;
#Click
void createNewRow() {
log.info("clicked");
InflatedRow_ inflatedRow=new InflatedRow_(this);
dynamicTable.addView(inflatedRow,0);
/*LayoutInflater layoutInflater= (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.inflatedrow,null);
dynamicTable.addView(view);*/
}
#OptionsItem
void openSettingsSelected(){
log.info("Hello");
}
}
In createNewRow if I use the inflater service directly it works.
What am I missing?
many thanks.

Don't use the annotated class when you're inflating the view and make sure you're calling the build method that inflates it.
#Click
void createNewRow() {
log.info("clicked");
InflatedRow inflatedRow = new InflatedRow_.build(this);
dynamicTable.addView(inflatedRow,0);
}

instead of 'View inflatedRow= new InflatedRow_(this);' I use 'View inflatedRow=InflatedRow_.build(this);'. This is documented for custom controls and I needed to do it for a merged control group too. So mea culpa to a degree!
#Click
void createNewRow() {
log.info("clicked");
InflatedRow_ inflatedRow=InflatedRow_.build(this);
dynamicTable.addView(inflatedRow,0);
}
Alternatively (and no idea if this would continue to be supported:
#Click
void createNewRow() {
log.info("clicked");
/*View inflatedRow = InflatedRow_.build(this);*/
InflatedRow_ inflatedRow = new InflatedRow_(this);
inflatedRow.onFinishInflate();
dynamicTable.addView(inflatedRow, 0);
}
