Trying to edit value of TextView on LongClick -- Almost working - java

I have two elements (TextView) in my XML layout that when a LongClick is pressed it will prompt the user to enter in a new value and then when the DONE button is clicked it should show the newly inputed value to the tvScoreHome using setText().
When I do a Long Click on the mentioned element the edit field and keyboard appear as expected. However, it won't allow me to type anything. When I type something it nothing shows up (but the device vibrates as if a button was pressed) and when the DONE button is clicked it vibrates as well but it does not exit the keyboard and show anything in the tvScoreHome element.
Any ideas why?
// set the onLongClickListener for tvScoreHome
tvScoreHome.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
final EditText userInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.userInput);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
userInput.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
imm.showSoftInput(userInput, 0);
tvScoreHome.setText( userInput.getText() );
userInput.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
return true;
}
});

You need to give the user a chance to input some text before copying the data and hiding the EditText.
Remove these two lines from your listener:
tvScoreHome.setText( userInput.getText() );
userInput.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Perhaps you could use an OnFocusChangeListener to run these two lines when userInput loses focus.

How to generate unique button with button click

I have a floating action button that, when clicked, an editText field opens up where the user can enter text. The text would then be taken via getText().toString() and entered into the text of a new button. I can make it so that each time the user goes through this process, a new button is created and positioned below the previously created button. The problem is, each new button is not unique. It creates a new instance of the exact same button so that every button has the exact same id. How do I generate a new, completely unique button with unique id in order to reference each button individually later on?
confirmBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
if (!editTitle.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
projectBtn = new Button(getActivity());
projectBtn.setId(R.id.projNewBtn);
projectBtn.setText(editTitle.getText().toString());
project_layout.addView(projectBtn);
}
editTitle.setText("");
project_layout.removeView(editTitle);
project_layout.removeView(linearLayout);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getActivity().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
});
I just solved my own problem by simply adding two lines of code; one to initialize a button ArrayList, and one to add the button to the array each time a new button is created. I simply set the id as a variable int so that once stored in the array, I am able to reference it via the corresponding number position.

Trying to setup a NumberPicker to show value in Toast

I'm using the NumberPicker tool in Android and I changed the value of the integer to String to be able to show it in the Toast I used Integer.toString method but I don't think the problem is that.
The thing is when I tap my button no matter what value I pick in the NumberPicker it shows (0). I'm using the .getValue(); as shown below.
How do I make it get the value that I set on NumberPicker?
numPickerMin = (NumberPicker) findViewById(R.id.numberPickerMinute);
//Min
numPickerMin.setMaxValue(60);
numPickerMin.setMinValue(0);
numPickerMin.setWrapSelectorWheel(false);
int getvalueminute = numPickerMin.getValue();
final String getValMin= Integer.toString(getvalueminute);
silentButton.setOnClickListener(
new Button.OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,getValMin,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
);
You are getting Picker's value after you initialize it so it will always be 0. As I understand your code you want to show correct value in Toast after pressing button? You should move those lines inside OnClickListener:
int getvalueminute = numPickerMin.getValue();
String getValMin= Integer.toString(getvalueminute);

Multiple buttons. Passing actions to the next button in Java

Java Android question
I have x, say 5, buttons in a row.
Each button has a different number value displayed on the button.
Button one is active, the rest are not- not clickable. They are greyed out.
To show Button 1 is active it fades up and down.
Once clicked the button pops up a message. The user Ok's that, this activates Button 2, and deactivates Button 1.
Then it happens through all buttons, one by one. The final button doesn't produce the pop up message.
My question...
I want to create a method that sets the first button as current and then once clicked sets the next as current, and so on.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? I don't need to know how to fade buttons etc, its literally how to set button as current, and within that method the user click sets the next button as current.
Many thanks in advance.
EDIT
OK, I've had a go...its not working, but it seems so close...
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_workout_one);
int[] buttonIds = new int[] {R.id.button_1,R.id.button_2,R.id.button_3,R.id.button_4,R.id.button_5};
setButton(buttonIds);
}
private void setButton(int[] buttId){
int isCurrent = 0;
while(isCurrent < 5) {
Button currentButton = (Button) findViewById(buttId[isCurrent]);
//TODO Make current button pulse
currentButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
v.clearAnimation();
v.setBackgroundColor(0xFF00FF00);
v.setFocusable(false);
v.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
v.setClickable(false);
setTimer();
isCurrent++;
}
});
I know that the problem is the isCurrent++ is not accessible outside the onClick method. How do I right this? Am I close or is this a major funk up and do I have to rethink?
Just use a global variable which track the current button, and check this variable to identify the current active button for determining the action in onClickListener. To fade out a button try this code snippet
button.setClickable(false);
button.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#808080"));
You need something like this:
private int activeButton = 1;
private void buttonClickHandler(){
switch(activeButton++){
case : 1
button1.setEnabled(true):
// show popup, hide/animate for button 1
break;
case : 2
button2.setEnabled(true);
// same for button 2
case : 3
// same for button 3
case : 4
// same for button 4
}

Using onBackPressed() with popup keyboard

In my app, I have an edit text which, when pressed, sets an int value to "1". Obviously, when you press the edit text, a keyboard pops up. The keyboard is dismissed by pressing back, and I have used the following code...
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
if (editingText == 1) {
editingText = 0;
setUnit();
}
Log.d("Back pressed", "Back was pressed :)");
super.onBackPressed();
}
... to change the value back. setUnit() then changes the value of a TextViewH depending on the contents of the EditText. However, as I have seen by using the logs, this method is only called when the user backs out of the entire activity, and not when the user backs out of the keyboard.
Is there any way to detect "back" presses when the keyboard is displayed? Or, alternatively, is it possible to change a string's value to match the value of the edit text in real-time? All help appreciated.

using checkboxes to check data when button is clicked

me again, iv tried following the android checkbox example, and whilst it has worked the most part, i need the code to only be initiated when a button is clicked, there is only one button in the program and this button is also used to do the maths calcs.
I think i would need a nested if statement, but im just wondering if any of you guys could help me with the construction of this, when the checkBox is checked, i would like it to check if there is data in the text field next to the checkbox, if there is data i would like the program to bring up an error statement, although this is only to be done once the calculation button has been called on.
can anyone give me any help on constructing this, i have tried adding listeners but i already have one on the calc button and if i add more into this method, i get error messages :/
There are three checkboxes, all used to check different field, however i also only want one checkbox to be checked at any one time and only if there is no data in the text field that applies to this.
cheers guys, sorry if im a bit vague but im starting to loose my rag with my lack of knowledge.
cheers
public class Current extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_current);
// Show the Up button in the action bar.
setupActionBar();
Button calc1 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.current_calculate);
calc1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
CheckBox checktime = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.custom1);
CheckBox checkcurrent = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.custom2);
CheckBox checkcharge = (CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.custom3);
public void onClick(View v) {
//i would like this part to check that checktime is checked and that there is no data in editText Time1
if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
Toast.makeText(Current.this,
"Bro, try Android :)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
//i would like this part to check that checkCurrent is checked and that there is no data in editText current1
if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
Toast.makeText(Current.this,
"Bro, i mean it ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
//i would like this part to check that checkCharge is checked and that there is no data in editText charge1
if (((CheckBox) v).isChecked()) {
Toast.makeText(Current.this,
"Bro, try Android :)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
// please note that i have not yet added the current.text field yet as i cannot be bothered with it throwing up errors just yet, please bear
// in mind that i will be doing another two sums on this program, the next sum will be current1 / time1 and then the next will be charge1/current1
// any help would be much appreciated, for now i only want the program to check that EditText current1 is empty and if so do the calculation bellow
EditText Charge1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.number_input_2);
EditText Time1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.number_input_3);
TextView Distances_answer = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.Distances_answer);
double charge = Double.parseDouble(Charge1.getText().toString());
double time = Double.parseDouble(Time1.getText().toString());
//Time is a class in Java
Distances_answer.setText("" +charge*time);
}
});
}
First of all as it is onclicklistener for a button, v would always be button in your case. So ((CheckBox) v).isChecked() would give runtime error. Change that to checktime.isChecked() or any other checkbox you would like to check its checked status. As for checking the emptyness of editext it can be done by edittext.getText().toString().isEmpty()
public void onClick(View v) {
//i would like this part to check that checktime is checked and that there is no data in editText Time1
if(Time1.length()==0){
checktime.setChecked(true);
Toast.makeText(Current.this,
"Bro, try Android :)", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
//i would like this part to check that checkCurrent is checked and that there is no data in editText current1
if(current1.length()==0){
checkCurrent.setChecked(true);
Toast.makeText(Current.this,
"Bro, i mean it ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
//i would like this part to check that checkCharge is checked and that there is no data in editText charge1
if(charge1.length()==0){
checkCharge.setChecked(true);
Toast.makeText(Current.this,
"Bro, tryAndroid ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
// please note that i have not yet added the current.text field yet as i cannot be bothered with it throwing up errors just yet, please bear
// in mind that i will be doing another two sums on this program, the next sum will be current1 / time1 and then the next will be charge1/current1
// any help would be much appreciated, for now i only want the program to check that EditText current1 is empty and if so do the calculation bellow
// EditText Charge1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.number_input_2);
// EditText Time1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.number_input_3);
// TextView Distances_answer = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.Distances_answer);
double charge = Double.parseDouble(Charge1.getText().toString());
double time = Double.parseDouble(Time1.getText().toString());
//Time is a class in Java
Distances_answer.setText("" +charge*time);
}
});
Just make sure that you findviewbyid all the edit texts before the button click.
