As another quick Android example, this Java source code shows how to add a “click listener” (on click/tap event) to an Android Button
:
public class MyActivity extends Activity { protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle); setContentView(R.layout.my_layout_id); final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.my_cool_button); button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { // your handler code here } }); } }
Important things to know are:
- You need to add a listener to the
Button
- The listener you need is called an
OnClickListener
(not anActionListener
orButtonClickListener
, etc.) - You add the listener with the
setOnClickListener
method, and - You need to implement the
onClick
method
If you needed to see how to add a listener to an Android Button
, I hope this example code is helpful.
