Android OnClickListener - identify a button
Or you can try the same but without listeners. On your button XML definition:
android:onClick="ButtonOnClick"
And in your code define the method ButtonOnClick
:
public void ButtonOnClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.button1:
doSomething1();
break;
case R.id.button2:
doSomething2();
break;
}
}
You will learn the way to do it, in an easy way, is:
public class Mtest extends Activity {
Button b1;
Button b2;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b1);
b2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b2);
b1.setOnClickListener(myhandler1);
b2.setOnClickListener(myhandler2);
...
}
View.OnClickListener myhandler1 = new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// it was the 1st button
}
};
View.OnClickListener myhandler2 = new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// it was the 2nd button
}
};
}
Or, if you are working with just one clicklistener, you can do:
View.OnClickListener myOnlyhandler = new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(v.getId()) {
case R.id.b1:
// it was the first button
break;
case R.id.b2:
// it was the second button
break;
}
}
}
Though, I don't recommend doing it that way since you will have to add an if
for each button you use. That's hard to maintain.
