.NET Developer here just getting started with Eclipse and Android.
Can someone show me in the simplest way possible, with the absolute fewest lines of code, how to DO something when a button is clicked?
My button has id button1
and I just want to see where/how to write the onClick()
handler.
So let's say I have imageview1
set to invisible. How would I make it visible when the button is clicked?
EDIT:
Thanks everyone, but since not a single one of your examples work for me, I'll try this: Can someone please post the ENTIRE code to make this work? Not just the method, because when I try to use ANY of your methods I get errors all over the place so obviously something else is missing. I need to see everything, beginning with all the imports.
How can I call SubGraphButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs args) from another method? private void SubGraphButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs args) { } private void ChildNode_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs args) { // call SubGraphButton-Click(). }
The Click event is raised when the Button control is clicked. This event is commonly used when no command name is associated with the Button control (for instance, with a Submit button). For more information about handling events, see Handling and Raising Events.
/src/com/example/MyClass.java
package com.example import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ImageView; public class MyClass extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageview1); iv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } }); } }
/res/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"> <Button android:text="Button" android:id="@+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <ImageView android:src="@drawable/image" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/imageview1" android:visibility="invisible" /> </LinearLayout>
The absolutely best way: Just let your activity implement View.OnClickListener
, and write your onClick
method like this:
public void onClick(View v) { final int id = v.getId(); switch (id) { case R.id.button1: // your code for button1 here break; case R.id.button2: // your code for button2 here break; // even more buttons here } }
Then, in your XML layout file, you can set the click listeners directly using the attribute android:onClick
:
<Button android:id="@+id/button1" android:onClick="onClick" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button 1" />
That is the most cleanest way of how to do it. I use it in all of mine projects today, as well.
