Perform click on button in Android SDK

Question

As soon as the layout is created I want a button to be clicked automatically and I use button.performClick() for that.

The problem is that it doesn't work. It looks like I can't do that during the onCreate, onStart, onResume method. At what point is the button and its events created, so I can perform a click on it?

This

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    mybutton.performClick();
}

doesn't work.

Answer 1

This worked for me in a similar case:

mybutton.post(new Runnable(){
            @Override
            public void run() {
                 mybutton.performClick();
            }
});

This way the runnable will run only if the button is already loaded on the layout.
