How to create a list of Textviews - java

I'm wanting a list of clickable textviews this is the xml I have
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/marque_scrolling_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:marqueeRepeatLimit="marquee_forever"
android:padding="16dp"
android:scrollHorizontally="true"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Create a Marquee (Scrolling Text) in Android Using TextView. Android Marquee (Scrolling Text) Tutorial with Example"
android:textSize="24sp" />
</LinearLayout>
Would like a list of items all clickable
This is the code I'm using:
TextView marque1 = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.marque_scrolling_text);
marque1.setSelected(true);
marque1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
System.out.println("dhgjgf jfgsfjhsgfsjfgdfjh");
}
});
Is this possible?

If you can't use ListView then you can dynamically create and add the TextViews yourself!
I assume you have an array of Strings you want to show as TextViews:
String[] strings = {"TextA", "TextB"};
Get the Layout that will contain all the TextViews:
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.listLayout);
// you will need to set an id for the layout in the xml
Then iterate through the list, create a new TextView for each String, add the onClickListener and do whatever you want with it (like changing text colour), and then add it to the Layout:
for(String s : strings)
{
TextView newTextView = new TextView(this);
newTextView.setText(s);
newTextView.setTextColor(#0066ff); // for example
newTextView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
System.out.println("dhgjgf jfgsfjhsgfsjfgdfjh");
}
});
layout.addView(newTextView);
}

How to increase the number of text in Android programmatically

I have a page in which I'm taking the START TIME and END TIME from DATABASE.
Let's say the START TIME is 7:00 and END TIME is 22:00
I want to use this START TIME and END TIME to show in my page as textview like 7:00 8:00 9:00 and sooo on till 22:00 as textview
Also I have an imageview that will also increase when the text increases.
How can I achieve this?
Also I want the result text in Horizontal Scroll View with Imageview at top and text view as bottom of each imageview
char first = StartTime.charAt(0);
int StartTimeint = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(first));
int l;
for( l = StartTimeint; l<=22; l++){
Log.d("SeatsPage", "Time is "+l);
}
timeofseats.setText(Integer.toString(l));
This is I have done so far but I'm getting 23 as a result, the textview is not increasing
This is my XML File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/llMain"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".SeatsPagewithDB.SeatsPage">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView11"
android:layout_width="150px"
android:layout_height="150px"
android:layout_marginStart="28dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="326dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"

<TextView
android:id="#+id/timeofseats"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="40dp"
android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="334dp"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:text="7:00"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="20dp"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/imageView11" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
This is the result I am getting as layout
This what I want programmatically
The XML code that you write in your layout.xml file to create the UI is for static UI only. What you are asking is to create views dynamically during runtime. Although you can definitely create views using java code on a click of a button or something. But it is better to code less for the UI whenever possible and keep it separated from the program code. Instead use the tools given to us by the framework we are using.
In Android those tools include stuff like ListView, GridView and the newer and better RecyclerView. These views help you add other views dynamically to your UI in runtime. You define one of them or more (depending on your UI needs) once in your layout.xml and configure them using java code like any other view.
This is how you can use RecyclerView to achieve your goal. I can't explain everything how RecyclerView works and what each line of code does as it will make a very long post but I have tried to highlight main things briefly.
1. Add RecyclerView in your layout file.
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/recyclerView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
2. Create another layout file and define the template UI of the item that the RecyclerView is going to display. RecyclerView will populate each item that it holds with this layout.
item_view.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView_alarm"
android:layout_width="90dp"
android:layout_height="90dp"
android:src="#drawable/alarm" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView_Time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:paddingRight="8dp"
android:text="Time"
android:textColor="#android:color/background_light"
android:textSize="24sp" />
</LinearLayout>
3. Create a ViewHolder class that extends from RecyclerView.ViewHolder. View holder is a RecyclerView related concept. In short it works as a wrapper around the view of a single item and aids in binding new data to the view of the item. Create a bind() function inside view holder to make your life easier.
EDIT: I have updated the class by implementing the View.OnClickListener interface, modified the constructor to pass in the context from onCreateViewHolder() and adding a setItemPosition() just for the sake to pass the item position number from onBindViewHolder() all over to here so we can use this position number in our onClick() method of the interface
MyViewHolder.java [UPDATED]
public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
private TextView textView;
private int itemPosition;
private Context mContext;
public MyViewHolder(#NonNull View itemView, Context context) {
super(itemView);
itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
mContext = context;
textView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.textView_Time);
}
void bind(String timeText)
{
textView.setText(timeText);
}
void setItemPosition(int position)
{
itemPosition = position;
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Toast.makeText(mContext, "You clicked item number: " + itemPosition , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
4. Create an Adapter class that extends from RecyclerView.Adapter. Adapter works as a bridge between the UI data and RecyclerView itself. An Adapter tells the RecyclerView what layout file to inflate and how many to inflate. RecyclerView job is to deal with how to inflate it on the UI.
EDIT : Just changed myViewHolder in onCreateViewHolder() to match the modified constructor of MyViewHolder. Added the call to setItemPosition() in the onBindViewHolder().
MyAdapter.java [UPDATED]
public class MyAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter {
List<String> timeIntervalList = new ArrayList<>();
#NonNull
#Override
public RecyclerView.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(#NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
View view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_view, parent, false);
MyViewHolder myViewHolder = new MyViewHolder(view , parent.getContext());
return myViewHolder;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(#NonNull RecyclerView.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
MyViewHolder viewHolder = (MyViewHolder) holder;
viewHolder.setItemPosition(position);
viewHolder.bind(timeIntervalList.get(position));
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return timeIntervalList.size();
}
public void addItem (String timeText)
{
timeIntervalList.add(timeText);
notifyItemInserted(getItemCount());
}
}
In this adapter you will see two functions. OnCreateViewHolder() inflates the view using the template layout file for a single item and OnBindViewHolder() binds new data to the default values of the of the view just created. The data used for binding is stored in a list inside this Adapter called the timeIntervalList. This list will hold your time interval strings so they can be updated on the view.
5. Finally, use this RecyclerView where you want to use it. Like in your MainActivity.java. RecyclerView needs to be told in what fashion to display the items (e.g list , grid etc ) using a LayoutManager. LinearLayoutManager will display items either vertically or horizontally. You can see I am using your logic to increment time from string and adding new views to RecyclerView using the addItem() function of the MyAdapter class.
MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private RecyclerView myRecyclerView;
private MyAdapter myAdapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
myRecyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
myAdapter = new MyAdapter();
LinearLayoutManager linearLayoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this , LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false);
myRecyclerView.setLayoutManager(linearLayoutManager);
myRecyclerView.setAdapter(myAdapter);
// This is how you will populate the recycler view
String START_TIME = "7:00";
String END_TIME = "22:00";
char first = START_TIME.charAt(0);
int StartTimeint = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(first));
int l;
for( l = StartTimeint; l<=22; l++){
// This is where new item are added to recyclerView.
myAdapter.addItem(l + ":00");
}
}
}
This is the final result.
Change your activity layout XML code as follows,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/llMain"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".SeatsPagewithDB.SeatsPage">
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
...
...>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</HorizontalScrollView>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Move the textview and imageview to another XML file let's call it item_view.xml (you can name it whatever you wish). we are doing so because the root view of this file will be reused.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView11"
android:layout_width="150px"
android:layout_height="150px"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/seat"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/timeofseats"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:text="7:00"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="20dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
Now make following changes in your Java file
LinearLayout container = findViewById(R.id.container); // or rootView.findViewById() for custom View and Fragment
char first = StartTime.charAt(0);
int StartTimeint = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(first));
for(int l = StartTimeint; l<=22; l++){
Log.d("SeatsPage", "Time is "+l);
View view = LayoutInflater.from(container.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.item_view, null);
TextView timeofseats = view.findViewById(R.id.timeofseats);
timeofseats.setText(Integer.toString(l));
container.addView(view);
}

I need AutoCompleteTextView in editable format on clicking image icon

Here I have an AutoCompleteTextView and an image view it;s an arrow that is placed just right side of this AutoCompleteTextView. When I click on that image icon I need this AutoCompleteTextView to be in editable form means the same effect when we touch directly in this AutoCompleteTextView
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:id="#+id/auto"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:hint="Select Location"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:dropDownWidth="match_parent"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="dropclick"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_keyboard_arrow_down_black_24dp"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Answer by Quessema Aroua is good but here's what you can do without a library.
Implement this code in XML.
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:hint="#string/source"
android:id="#+id/actv5"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/actv4"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
android:background="#drawable/side_nav_bar"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:dropDownHeight="155dp"
android:cursorVisible="false"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:id="#+id/imv2"
android:src="#drawable/ic_keyboard_arrow_down_black_24dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#+id/actv5"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/actv5"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="#+id/actv5"
/>
You can choose whatever layout you need but mine is ConstraintLayout.
And this in YourActivity.java
locnames = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Loc_names);
final ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(
this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item,
locnames);
autoText1 =(AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.actv4);
autoText1.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
autoText1.setThreshold(1);
autoText1.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
//autoText1.showDropDown();
hideKeyBoard(view);
//String selection = (String) parent.getItemAtPosition(position);
selected = position;
}
});
/*autoText1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(final View arg0) {
autoText1.showDropDown(); }
});*/
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imv1);
imageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(final View arg0) {
autoText1.showDropDown(); }
});
Also You should set-up a String of locnames as in mine in Strings.XML like this:
<string-array name="Loc_names">
<item>India</item>
<item>America</item>
<item>Germany</item>
<item>Russia</item>
<item>Australia</item>
<item>China</item>
</string-array>
The Message part in code of YourActivity.java here shows the same pop-up/spinner by clicking anywhere on the AutoCompleteTextView which removes the need of using an ImageView (arrow) but you want an ImageView that's why I've made this code a message/comment.
/*autoText1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(final View arg0) {
autoText1.showDropDown(); }
});*/
As I've directly copied this from my project, you should replace all ids/names according to you.Some images for reference
This is normal AutoCompleteTextView.
This is AutoCompleteTextView with a Spinner.
This is AutoCompleteTextView with some text entered and text
filtered in the spinner.
you can use EditSpinner auto complete spinner lib.
Add it to gradle :
compile 'com.reginald:editspinner:1.0.0'
add the view to your xml file :
<com.reginald.editspinner.EditSpinner
android:id="#+id/autocomplete"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:dropDownDrawable="#mipmap/ic_keyboard_arrow_down_black_24dp"
app:dropDownDrawableSpacing="35dp" />
prepare your adapter :
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, R.layout.spinner_item, itemList);
set adapter to your EditSpinner :
autoCompleteOperationDetail.setAdapter(operationDetailArrayAdapter);

Create a ListView with selectable rows/change background color of ListView rows when clicked

Problem
I'm trying to create a ListView with selectable items. I want to be able to click on an item in the ListView and have the item change color in the list, and then go on and do something else with the data from the row.
I'm using a SimpleAdapter.
How do I make it so that when I tap on a row, it turns a different color, and then when I tap on a different row, the new row is selected and changed to a new color, and the old row changes back to normal?
Code
Here is my code so far. The DBTools class is has all of the data that I want to be displayed in my ListView organized and taken care of. The getAllReceivers() method returns an ArrayList of HashMap<String, String>s that have all of my data.
MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
DBTools dbTools = new DBTools(this);
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> receiverList;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getActionBar().hide();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
receiverList = dbTools.getAllReceivers();
dbTools.close();
ListView listView = getListView();
if(receiverList.size() != 0) {
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(MainActivity.this,receiverList, R.layout.receiver_entry, new String[] {"receiverId","receiverName", "fullPath"}, new int[] {R.id.receiverId, R.id.receiverName, R.id.fullPath});
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
}
}
activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</TableRow>
Solution
The solution to this problem is very simple. We need to add an OnItemClickListener to our ListView to listen for clicks and respond accordingly.
So, in the onCreate() method, once you've made sure that you set of data isn't empty, you're going to want to Override the onItemClick() method to listen for the click and change the color. You're also going to want to keep track of which item you selected for the later steps, so add public int selectionId = -1; at the top of your class. Furthermore, you'll need to let the ListAdapter know that you changed something by calling ((SimpleAdapter) getListAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged().
if(receiverList.size() != 0) {
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int index, long id) {
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
TextView receiverIdTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.receiverId);
selectionId = Integer.valueOf(receiverIdTextView.getText().toString());
((SimpleAdapter) getListAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
SimpleAdapter adapter = getNewAdapter();
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
Great! Now we have a working system that will change the color of the row that you tap. But we're not done yet. We need to make sure that the previous selection changes back to the normal color.
For this, we are going to use override the SimpleAdapter's getView() method, which is called everytime the ListView goes to draw the items being displayed in it.
It only actually displays the items it needs to - the ones that you can see. It does not render the ones above or below your screen. So if you have 200 items in a ListView, only 5 or 6, depending on the size of your screen and the size of the items, are being rendered at a time.
To override the getView() method, go up to where you initialize the adapter and change the code to this:
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(MainActivity.this,receiverList, R.layout.receiver_entry, new String[] { "receiverId","receiverName", "fullPath"}, new int[] {R.id.receiverId, R.id.receiverName, R.id.fullPath}) {
#Override
public View getView (int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
TextView receiverIdTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.receiverId);
if(receiverIdTextView.getText().toString().equals(String.valueOf(selectionId))) {
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
} else {
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
}
return view;
}
};
Every time one of the rows is drawn, since the getView() will get called, the ListView will check if the current view has the id of row you selected. If it doesn't, it'll change the background color to white. If it does, it'll change the background color to red.
And voila! That's it! Now you are setting the background color to red when you click on an item in the ListView.
Final Code
MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
DBTools dbTools = new DBTools(this);
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> receiverList;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
getActionBar().hide();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
receiverList = dbTools.getAllReceivers();
dbTools.close();
ListView listView = getListView();
if(receiverList.size() != 0) {
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int index, long id) {
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
TextView receiverIdTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.receiverId);
selectionId = Integer.valueOf(receiverIdTextView.getText().toString());
((SimpleAdapter) getListAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(MainActivity.this,receiverList, R.layout.receiver_entry, new String[] { "receiverId","receiverName", "fullPath"}, new int[] {R.id.receiverId, R.id.receiverName, R.id.fullPath}) {
#Override
public View getView (int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
TextView receiverIdTextView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.receiverId);
if(receiverIdTextView.getText().toString().equals(String.valueOf(selectionId))) {
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
} else {
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
}
return view;
}
};
setListAdapter(adapter);
}

Make a selected state for textview (highlighted)

So currently, I am trying to create a selected state for three textviews
Currently, for each of the textviews ( H M S) the text is red:
However, when tap the H M or S I want it to turn another color--white.
So I tried to follow this:
Android - Textview change color on changing of state
and I did this (selected_text.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_selected="true"
android:color="#ffd10011"/> <!-- selected -->
<item android:color="#color/red_highlight"/> <!-- default -->
</selector>
and applied that:
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/Hours"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textColor="#color/selected_text"
android:id="#+id/hourtext"
android:layout_marginLeft="45dp"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/minutetext"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/seekArc"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/seekArc" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/Minutes"
android:textSize="30dp"
android:textColor="#color/selected_text"
android:id="#+id/minutetext"

However, the textviews do not change color after I click on them.
How do I fix this?
Also,
I was wondering if it is better to implement this in java code since I need to perform a different function after each textview is clicked/highlighted. If so, how can that be implemented?
You can do this programatically like this:
findViewById(R.id.txt).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
TextView textView = (TextView) v;
if (textView.isSelected()) {
textView.setTextColor(Color.RED);
v.setSelected(false);
} else {
textView.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
v.setSelected(true);
}
}
});
And here's my layout:
<LinearLayout 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"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="some text"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textColor="#FF0000"/>
</LinearLayout>
EDIT:
For your specific case would be like:
View previousView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
View.OnClickListener clickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
TextView previousText = (TextView) previousView;
TextView curText = (TextView) v;
// If the clicked view is selected, deselect it
if (curText.isSelected()) {
curText.setSelected(false);
curText.setTextColor(Color.RED);
} else { // If this isn't selected, deselect the previous one (if any)
if (previousText != null && previousText.isSelected()) {
previousText.setSelected(false);
previousText.setTextColor(Color.RED);
}
curText.setSelected(true);
curText.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
previousView = v;
}
}
};
findViewById(R.id.txt).setOnClickListener(clickListener);
findViewById(R.id.txt2).setOnClickListener(clickListener);
findViewById(R.id.txt3).setOnClickListener(clickListener);
}

Androids ExpandableListView - where to put the button listener for buttons that are children

I have been playing around a lot with the ExpandableListView and I cannot figure out where to add the button listeners for the button that will be the children in the view. I did manage to get a button listener working that uses getChildView() below, but it seems to be the same listener for all the buttons.
The best case scenario is that I would be able to implement the button listeners in the class that instantiates the ExpandableListAdapter class, and not have to put the listeners in the actual ExpandableListAdapter class. At this point I don't even know if that is possible
I have been experimenting with this tutorial/code: HERE
getChildView()
#Override
public View getChildView(int set_new, int child_position, boolean view, View view1, ViewGroup view_group1)
{
ChildHolder childHolder;
if (view1 == null)
{
view1 = LayoutInflater.from(info_context).inflate(R.layout.list_group_item_lv, null);
childHolder = new ChildHolder();
childHolder.section_btn = (Button)view1.findViewById(R.id.item_title);
view1.setTag(childHolder);
childHolder.section_btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
Toast.makeText(info_context, "button pushed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}else {
childHolder = (ChildHolder) view1.getTag();
}
childHolder.section_btn.setText(children_collection.get(set_new).GroupItemCollection.get(child_position).section);
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(info_context.getAssets(), "fonts/AGENCYR.TTF");
childHolder.section_btn.setTypeface(tf);
return view1;
}
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you and I will be standing by.
If the buttons are in the ExpandableListView, their listener needs to be in the adapter.
I'm not sure the thrust of your question, but if you are asking how do you relate the button to the contents of the child row, I can answer that. :p
I'll assume a somewhat simple child row layout for demonstration purposes.
child_row.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="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ListItem1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="7dip"
android:paddingRight="7dip"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ListItem2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
Then, to get the contents of the row when your button is pressed, you use the button to backtrack to the parent vieew and then get the necessary child views and their contents:
childHolder.section_btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) v.getParent(); // get the view containing the button
TextView tv1 = (TextView) ll.findViewById(R.id.ListItem1); // get the reference to the first widget
TextView tv2 = (TextView) ll.findViewById(R.id.ListItem2); // get the reference to the second widget
String text1 = tv1.getText.toString(); // Get the contents of the first widget to a string
String text2 = tv2.getText.toString(); // Get the contents of the second widget to a string
}
});
If this isn't what you were looking for clarify your question and I'll take another shot at it.
