Android: How to inflate different layout from different buttons?

I trying to do making something tabs but using button.
but each time I click on button it add me a row.
I want it to change the all layout to another..
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button btn1;
Button btn2;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
btn1.setOnClickListener(switchListener);
btn2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
btn2.setOnClickListener(switchListener);
}
private OnClickListener switchListener = new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//ScrollView sv = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.MyScrollView);
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.MyLinearLayout);
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater
.from(getApplicationContext());
if (btn1 == v) {
View v1 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.firstview, null);
ll.addView(v1);
} else {
View v2 = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.secondview, null);
ll.addView(v2);
}
}
};
}
and here my Main XML file
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Layout 1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Layout 2" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/MyScrollView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/MyLinearLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</TableRow>
and here my other two layouts that I want to inflate
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="First View"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_light"/>
and the second
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Second View"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/holo_red_light"/>

First make match parent your tableview.
and now do below on your code:-
if(ll.getChildCount() > 0) {
ll.removeAllViews();
}
if (btn1 == v) {
View v1 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.firstview, null);
ll.addView(v1);
} else {
View v2 = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.secondview, null);
ll.addView(v2);
}
the problem is you are just adding child on layout one by one so you need to remove first then add into layout so try above code.

before adding views to your ll linear layout check, as
if(ll.getChildCount() > 0) {
ll.removeAllViews();
}
then perform:
ll.addView(view) v1 or v2 as required.

How to setting listener for button inside the Crouton Toast and clear that Crouton Toast using that button?

I have an app, which shows toast below the actionbar. I'm using Crouton library for displaying toast. Here I'm placing custom layout for toast, that layout contains one textview and one button (for close option). So Toast appears with button. If I click that it should close the toast but nothing happens.. Below Code for this example. Any Help Appreciated
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends SherlockActivity implements OnClickListener {
private View customToastView;
private TextView customToastMessageView;
private Button customToastCloseButton;
private Button doneButton;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
doneButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.done_button);
customToastView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.toast_custom_layout, null);
customToastMessageView = (TextView) customToastView.findViewById(R.id.messages);
customToastCloseButton = (Button) customToastView.findViewById(R.id.close_button);
customToastCloseButton.setOnClickListener(this);
doneButton.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.done_button:
Crouton.cancelAllCroutons();
customToastMessageView.setText("Message");
Crouton.show(this, customToastView);
break;
case R.id.close_button:
Crouton.cancelAllCroutons();
break;
}
}
}

Why the item selected return nothing when it was called?

I'm trying to create a Request Responses activity and get the itemSelected for use of next activity which is store them into user friendlist. But the itemSelected return nothing when the "Accept" button is clicked.(It should display itemSelected in toast dialog) Anyone knows what happen it is? Additionally, I like to ask why the item in the listView was located at the not accurate location? it seems like more upper that usual, for the second item.How to adjust it properly?
The figure below is layout of NotificationView.java:
NotificationView.java
public class NotificationView extends ListActivity{
String[] people;
ListView lv;
Button btn1,btn2;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.view);
NotificationManager mnotis =(NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mnotis.cancel(getIntent().getExtras().getInt("notificationID"));
String i = getIntent().getExtras().getString("name");
people = i.split("[,]");
Log.d("how",i);
lv= (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
btn1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.acceptbtn);
btn2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.closebtn);
ArrayAdapter<String> list = new ArrayAdapter<String>(NotificationView.this,R.layout.friendlist_item, R.id.friend_name,people);
lv.setAdapter(list);
btn1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
lv = getListView();
int i = lv.getCount();
Log.d("count",String.valueOf(i));
runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
String itemSelected = "Selected items: \n";
for(int i=0;i<lv.getCount();i++){
if(lv.isItemChecked(i)){
itemSelected += lv.getItemAtPosition(i) + "\n";
}
}
Toast.makeText(NotificationView.this,itemSelected,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
});
}}

Your Checkbox isn't related with the method that you are calling, for listview with multiselect items follow the next guide: http://dj-android.blogspot.com/2012/04/milti-selection-listview-android-with.html

Add EditText views dynamically to Horizontal Scroll View

In my app, the user inputs a number (in this case, the number of reactants in a chemical equation, so the number of starting materials) and as a result a number of boxes, the amount matching that of the number given by the user, are produced/spawned/created below after pressing a button.
How do I go about doing this? I thought a for-loop would come into play, so I started it off.
Here's the Java class:
public class EquationBalancer extends Activity {
final EditText reactantNumberField = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.reactantsNumber);
final int reactantNom = Integer.parseInt(reactantNumberField.getText().toString());
HorizontalScrollView reactants = (HorizontalScrollView) findViewById(R.id.reactants);
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.balancelayout);
Button setReactantsNo = (Button) findViewById(R.id.reactantsNumberOk);
setReactantsNo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
for (int i = 1; i < reactantNom; i++) {
}
}
});
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.balancelayout, menu);
return true;
}
}
and the XML layout:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/reactantsHowMany"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:text="#string/reactantsHowMany"
android:textSize="18dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/reactantsNumber"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:layout_width="65dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/reactantsHowMany"
android:layout_marginLeft="60dp"
android:inputType="number"
android:hint="e.g. 4" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/reactantsNumberOk"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/reactantsHowMany"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginRight="60dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/reactantsNumber"
android:text="Set" />
<HorizontalScrollView
android:id="#+id/reactants"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_below="#id/reactantsNumber" >
</HorizontalScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

for (int i = 1; i < reactantNom; i++) {
EditText editText=new EditText(this);
editText.setText("some text if you want else remove this line");
reactants.addView(editText);
}
and if you want to get data from these edittext some where else in your code then maintain an array of edittext and save these edittext objects in that array..,.
Try this..,.

radio button reselecting not working properly in android,new in development

I'm having a set of 9 radio Buttons(a group of 3 each),user has to select 3 (1 of each group)
on right selection a increment in score while on wrong selection decrement in score,but problem is that if all 3 correct ans are selected score is coming right else not ,also it is not responding to re selecting of another radio button of the group.On submit button i have written the code, I am new in development so kindly guide
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
switch (buttonView.getId()) {
case R.id.qa:cb.setChecked(false);
cc.setChecked(false);
cd.setChecked(false);
s[0] = false;
break;
case R.id.qb:
ca.setChecked(false);
cc.setChecked(false);
cd.setChecked(false);
s[0] = false;
break;
case R.id.qc:
cb.setChecked(false);
ca.setChecked(false);
cd.setChecked(false);
s[0] = true;
break;
}
public void onClick(View v) {
score = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
if (s[i] == true)
score++;
else
score--;
}
where s is boolean s[] = new boolean[];
I am new in development so not able to sort out problem

The code sample below will add the radiobuttons dynamically to a group so that you can arrange the buttons in any way you like using any layouts.
Layout : main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="1" >
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/rbtn1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:text="A" />
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/rbtn2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:text="B" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="1" >
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/rbtn3"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:text="C" />
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/rbtn4"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:text="D" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Code : MainActivity.xml
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static final String GROUP_A = "GroupA";
private static final String GROUP_B = "GroupB";
private List<RadioButton> radioButtons;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
RadioButton rbtn1 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.rbtn1);
RadioButton rbtn2 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.rbtn2);
RadioButton rbtn3 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.rbtn3);
RadioButton rbtn4 = (RadioButton) findViewById(R.id.rbtn4);
addRadioButtonToGroup(rbtn1, GROUP_A);
addRadioButtonToGroup(rbtn2, GROUP_A);
addRadioButtonToGroup(rbtn3, GROUP_A);
addRadioButtonToGroup(rbtn4, GROUP_B);
}
private void addRadioButtonToGroup(RadioButton rbtn, String group) {
rbtn.setTag(group);
if (radioButtons == null) {
radioButtons = new ArrayList<RadioButton>();
}
radioButtons.add(rbtn);
rbtn.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new RadioButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView,
boolean isChecked) {
if (isChecked) {
for (int i = 0; i < radioButtons.size(); i++) {
RadioButton radioButton = radioButtons.get(i);
if (radioButton
.getTag()
.toString()
.equalsIgnoreCase(
buttonView.getTag().toString())) {
if (!radioButton.equals(buttonView)) {
radioButton.setChecked(false);
}
}
}
}
}
});
}
}
Here..First 3 radio buttons will belong to the group A and other to Group B, which makes sure one radio button in a group can be checked at a time. We also dont need the RadioGroup and this code gives the control to arrange Radio Buttons in anyway you like.

Use RadioGroup instead of checking and un checking the RadioButtons manually.
If You put 3 radio buttons in a radio group, you will be able to check a radio button at one time, RadioGroup will manage it.
Check the sample below : On Submit button click it will calculate the score.
layout : main.xml
