How to open layout on button click (android)
-Inflate the button from the xml
-add an onClickListener on it
-set a new layout in the onClick event
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.myButton);
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
MyActivity.setContentView(R.layout.newlayout);
}
});
Something like this should work...
First Create your two layout:
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#ffffff" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:text="This is Activity 1" />
<Button android:text="Next"
android:id="@+id/Button01"
android:layout_width="250px"
android:textSize="18px"
android:layout_height="55px">
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
second.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#ffffff" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:text="This is Activity 2" />
<Button android:text="Previous"
android:id="@+id/Button02"
android:layout_width="250px"
android:textSize="18px"
android:layout_height="55px">
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
Second Add your Activity to the manifest file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.rr"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".Activity1"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".Activity2"></activity>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" />
</manifest>
Activity1.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Activity1 extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01);
next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), Activity2.class);
startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
}
});
}
}
To switch to Activity2 you have to:
Gets a reference to the button with ID Button01 on the layout using
(Button) findViewById(R.id.Button01)
.Create an OnClick listener for the button.
- And the most important part, creates an “Intent” to start another Activity. The intent needs two parameters: a context and the name of the Activity that we want to start (Activity2.class)
Activity2.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
public class Activity2 extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.second);
Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Button02);
next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent();
setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);
finish();
}
});
}
