I am trying to create a repeating text app. So I use a for loop for repeating the text and display this text in a textview.
When I press a button then I want it to generate the text as many times as the loop runs.
Here is my code:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
enterText = findViewById(R.id.editText);
repeatText = findViewById(R.id.repeatTime);
genTxt = findViewById(R.id.genText);
genrate = findViewById(R.id.generate);
reset = findViewById(R.id.reset);
copy = findViewById(R.id.copyButton);
share = findViewById(R.id.shareButton);
genrate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Storing text in Gen Text Area
String txt = enterText.getText().toString().trim();
//Storing Repeat value
String repeats = repeatText.getText().toString().trim();
int repealVal = Integer.parseInt(repeats);
for(int i=1;i<=repealVal;i++){
genTxt.setText(txt);
Log.d("tets","loop "+i+txt);
}
}
});
}
public void reset(View view){
enterText.setText("");
repeatText.setText("");
genTxt.setText("");
}
When I run it I only get the text one time in my textview.
Try changing your onClick method to the following:
genrate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//Storing text in Gen Text Area
String txt = enterText.getText().toString().trim();
//Storing Repeat value
String repeats = repeatText.getText().toString().trim();
int repealVal = Integer.parseInt(repeats);
for(int i=1;i<=repealVal;i++){
genTxt.setText(genTxt.getText() + txt);
Log.d("tets","loop "+i+txt);
}
}
});
Note that inside the loop you are only switching the text, not adding to the text.
To even further optimize solution, you should consider using .append() instead of .setText()
Here you are setting text to same TextView again and again.
If you want to dynamically generate multiple TextViews you can try below solution.
Give an id to your root layout in xml where you want to add text. Here I am using LinearLayout. Add it in your code as below:
LinearLayout linearLayout = findViewById(R.id.ll) //ll is the id of LinearLayout
Then add this in your onclick
TextView txtView;
for(int i = 1; i <= repealVal; i++) {
txtView = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
txtView.setText(txt);
linearLayout.addView(txtView);
}

I have the following problem:
I want to use the text of a TextView which is changing every 10 seconds. With a Button, I want to use the text of the TextView and show it in another TextView.
I tried it with the following code.
buttonSave.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
buttonSave.setClickable(false);
buttonSave.setVisibility(View.GONE);
if(buttonSave.isEnabled()) {
String copy = textView.getText().toString();
settingsview.append("\n" + copy);
}
buttonSave.setEnabled(false);
}
My problem now is that it works fine until the TextView refreshes and then the TextView is clearing everything without pressing the button.
This is the code which changes my textfild. The toCheck StringBuilder is a input of OCR which is refreshing every 10secs
public void filterit(StringBuilder toCheck){
Pattern patternDate = Pattern.compile("\\d{2}\\.\\d{2}\\.\\d{4}");
Matcher matcher = patternDate.matcher(toCheck.toString());
while (matcher.find()) {
//textView.setText(matcher.group());
settingsview.setText(matcher.group());
}
}
try this way
buttonSave.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
#Override
public void onClick(View v){
if(buttonSave.isEnabled()) {
String copy = textView.getText().toString();
ettingsview.setText(settingsview.getText().toString()+"\n" + copy);
buttonSave.setClickable(false);
buttonSave.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
}
i am new to development. i am creating an android calculator app with advanced functionality.The thing is i am using text view for taking and displaying inputs/outputs. My question is, how can i take Multiple inputs in multiple Textviews.
For example i have 3 text views,when user will enter 1st input in first textview(by default) and when user press the specific button it moves automatically to next textview . In some cases i want to take 2 inputs and in some cases i want to take 3 ,
How can i achieve this
Note: I dont want to use edit text , coz all buttons of already available in my app.Using Edit text will make softkeyboard to appear, and then for hiding the softkeyboard, i need to use hiding code lines in every class
You can do something like following:
private TextView[] textViews;
private TextView tvCurrentEditing;
private Button btnNext;
private Button btnPrev;
private Button btnSetText;
private int index = 0;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
textViews = new TextView[3];
//Initialize all your textviews like textViews[0] = findViewById(<textview-id1>);
//textViews[1] = findViewById(<textview-id2>);
//textViews[2] = findViewById(<textview-id3>);
tvCurrentEditing = textViews[index];// I am assuming this is your first
//initialzie btnSettext
btnSettext.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
tvCurrentEditing.setText("<what ever you want");
}
});
//initialize next buton
btnNext.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(index < textViews.length) {
index++;
}
tvCurrentEditing = textViews[index];
}
});
//Initialize previous button
btnPrev.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(index > 0) {
index--;
}
tvCurrentEditing = textViews[index];
}
});
}
The names of the views could be different. The point is always use tvCurrentEditing whenever you want to change data of TextView. And update tvCurrentEditing whenever needed.
Hi I'm working at my first bigger app in android studio "FlashCards". I would like it to work so after you click on the button the flashcard's textview changes its text to next random flashcard untill you see all of the them how can i do something like 'continue' to my loop from inside onClick method.
here's the loop's code:
while(i < mTestDeck.size()) {
// generates random number which will represent position in deck.
int random = randomGenerator.nextInt() % mTestDeck.size();
// if random flashcard was already shown create random number again
if (mTestDeck.get(random).wasShown())
continue;
//text view that we will operate on
TextView deckTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.flashcard_text_view);
// set text
deckTextView.setText(mTestDeck.get(random).getFront());
// set mWasShown to true
mTestDeck.get(random).flashcardShown();
Button myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.know_answer);
myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
mTestDeck.correctAnswer();
}
});
myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.dont_know_answer);
myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
}
});
}
}
First, this way, you have a potential infinite loop. And if it can happens, it will happens! It's not a good idea to "get random item and check if it's ok or try again".
I think that it's better to keep a list with all items in a random order. You just have to iterate over it.
Something like:
int currentPosition = 0;
List<Card> items = new ArrayList<Card>(mTestDeck).shuffle();
// Call this method once in onCreate or anywhere you initialize the UI
private void function setCurrentCard() {
Card currentItem = items.get(currentPosition);
[...] // Set all UI views here
myButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (currentPosition > items.size) {
// TODO? End?
return;
}
currentPosition++;
setCurrentCard();
}
});
}
I'm adding EditText in linear layout and it gives a view like that in image.
I'm getting this view by using this code.
public class SearchRecipe extends AppCompatActivity {
LinearLayout parentLayout;
ImageButton searchRecipe;
private int EDITTEXT_ID = 1;
private List<EditText> editTextList;
EditText editTextItem;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_search_recipe);
setActionBar();
init();
searchRecipe.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
EditText editTextItem = (EditText) parentLayout.findViewById(EDITTEXT_ID);
for (int i = 0; i < editTextList.size(); i++) {
Log.e("All Values=", editTextList.get(i).getText().toString());
Toast.makeText(SearchRecipe.this, editTextItem.getText().toString() + " ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
}
public void init() {
parentLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.parent_layout); //make sure you have set vertical orientation attribute on your xml
searchRecipe = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.search_button);
editTextList = new ArrayList<EditText>();
TextView addMoreText = new TextView(this);
addMoreText.setText("Add More Ingredients");
addMoreText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
addMoreText.setPadding(20, 20, 20, 20);
addMoreText.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.add, 0);
addMoreText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
editTextItem = new EditText(SearchRecipe.this);
editTextItem.setId(EDITTEXT_ID);
editTextList.add(editTextItem);
EDITTEXT_ID++;
editTextItem.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, 0, R.drawable.cross, 0);
editTextItem.setPadding(20, 20, 20, 20);
editTextItem.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
parentLayout.removeView(editTextItem);
return true;
}
});
parentLayout.addView(editTextItem, 0);
}
});
parentLayout.addView(addMoreText);
}
Now the only problem I'm facing is that. I'm not getting the text from edittext properly. Let me Explain what I want to do.
Click on Add More TextView will add one more edit text.
After adding all edittexts I will click on Search button.
By clicking search button will get the data from edittexs and save in arraylist. I tried a lot but can't do this properly. will you please help me to do this thing ? I'm stuck in from many days.
if you are createing edit text run time only for this purpose then there is no need of below tow lines
editTextItem.setId(EDITTEXT_ID);
EDITTEXT_ID++;
To retrive data from each edit box follow below things
for (EditText editText : editTextList) {
/* now you can get the value from Edit-text and save in the ArrayList
or you can append it in same string*/
yourArraList.add(editText.getText().toString()));
}
Get the editext from your list editTextList
String data = editTextList.get(index).getText().toString();
Add check for editTextList should not be null or empty.
You can iterate over list using for-each loop
for (EditText editText : editTextList) {
// now you can get the value from Edit-text and save in the ArrayList
yourArraList.add(editText.getText().toString()));
}
you can do like below if view inside fragment.
public static String getText(final Activity activity) {
final StringBuilder stringBuilder=new StringBuilder();
LinearLayout scrollViewlinerLayout = (LinearLayout) activity.findViewById(R.id.linearLayoutForm);
ArrayList<String> msg = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i < scrollViewlinerLayout.getChildCount(); i++)
{
LinearLayout innerLayout = (LinearLayout) scrollViewlinerLayout.getChildAt(i);
EditText editText = (EditText) innerLayout.findViewById(R.id.meeting_dialog_et);
msg.add(editText.getText().toString());
}
for (int j=0;j<msg.size();j++)
{
stringBuilder.append(msg.get(j)).append(";");
}
Toast t = Toast.makeText(activity.getApplicationContext(), stringBuilder.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
t.show();
return stringBuilder.toString();
}
there is another way is make arraylist Edittexes and add each edittext when it added to layout. then you can get like below:
for (int i = 0; i < Edittexes.size(); i++) {
if (Edittexes.get(i) == view)
{
String text=Edittexes.get(i).getText();
}
}
I have this code :
private ImageView d1;
private ArrayList<Integer> listaImagenes = new ArrayList<Integer>();
private ArrayList<String> listaFrases = new ArrayList<String>();
private Button button;
private Integer contador = 0;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.rellenarImagenes();
setContentView(R.layout.imagentonas);
d1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imagenes01);
while (contador < listaImagenes.size()) {
d1.setImageResource(listaImagenes.get(contador));
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.botoncillo);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
contador++;
}
});
}
}
private void rellenarImagenes() {
listaImagenes.add(R.drawable.a01);
listaImagenes.add(R.drawable.a02);
listaImagenes.add(R.drawable.a03)
}
I am trying do a loop that when I press the button , increment contador and d1 change image.
but it is not working, application background remains black and not working.
remove while loop and setimage in onclick method.
You are expecting that modifying the value of the variable contador would result in the array item to change.
Keep in mind that in the code line d1.setImageResource(listaImagenes.get(contador));, the get function receives an int. So at the time where it's called it receives a value, not a reference to an Integer. When you change the value of contador, the value that was used to obtain the index in the array is not changed.
And even if the value did change, d1 would still be using the same resource.
What you need to do in the onClickListener is add the code to set the image. Something along the lines of
public void onClick(View v) {
++contador;
if (contador >= listaImagenes.size())
{
contador=0;
}
//you'll probably need to modify the next line to be able to access the button variable.
//one way to do it is to use a final variable in the onCreate method that creates this OnClickListener
button.setImageResource(listaImagenes.get(contador));
}
The while loop is not needed. What your code is doing is setting the image to the 3 items of the array, one after the other, and adding a new click listener 3 times.
I will try to answer and point some of the flaws you have in the code.
wat if there were 100 drawable like R01 ,R02...? Instead you can use getting drawable using string.
why are you using while loop ? since you have the counter you can directly use that.
Let me try to write the code
int contador=1;
#Override
public void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.imagentonas);
context=this;
d1=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imagenes01);
button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.botoncillo);
button=(Button)findViewById(R.id.botoncillo);
button.setOnClickListener( new View . OnClickListener () {
public void onClick ( View v ) {
int id = context.getResources().getIdentifier("a"+contador,
"drawable", context.getPackageName());
d1.setImageResource(id);
contador++;
}
});
}
Notice : int id = context.getResources().getIdentifier("a"+contador,"drawable", context.getPackageName()); Here using the string you can access the drawable this solves the issue for any number of consecutive drawables.
Hope you get the concept...
Thanks
