Android Button setOnClickListener Design

Question

I am building an Android Application  I ve noticed that I am creating many repetitions of code similar to this in each of my classes   Button buttonX    Button findViewById R id buttonXName      Register the onClick listener with the implementation above buttonX setOnClickListener new OnClickListener         public void onClick View v                  DO SOMETHING   RUN SOME FUNCTION     DO CHECKS    ETC               I now have fifteen buttons and this is making my code ugly  Does anyone have a class or some examples on how I can turn all these codes into something more efficient  so I can    Create the button object  Button buttonX  Button findViewById R id buttonXName    Set the listener  buttonX setOnClickListener new OnClickListener    Determine if it was clicked  public void onClick View v   Then run specific code for each button    If anyone knows anything  I d appreciate it

Since setOnClickListener is defined on View not Button  if you don t need the variable for something else  you could make it a little terser like this   findViewById R id buttonXName  setOnClickListener new OnClickListener         public void onClick View v          DO SOMETHING   RUN SOME FUNCTION     DO CHECKS    ETC

You can use array to handle several button click listener in android like this  here i am setting button click listener for n buttons by using array as   Button btn     new Button n      NOTE  n is a constant positive integer  Code example     class androidMultipleButtonActions  package a b c app   import android app Activity  import android os Bundle  import android view View  import android view View OnClickListener  import android widget Button   public class androidMultipleButtonActions extends Activity implements OnClickListener      Button btn     new Button 3        public void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState           super onCreate savedInstanceState           setContentView R layout main                   btn 0     Button  findViewById R id Button1           btn 1     Button  findViewById R id Button2           btn 2     Button  findViewById R id Button3           for int i 0  i lt 3  i                 btn i  setOnClickListener this                                   public void onClick View v            if v    findViewById R id Button1                  do here what u wanna do                    else if v    findViewById R id Button2                  do here what u wanna do                    else if v    findViewById R id Button3                  do here what u wanna do                      Note  First write an main xml file if u dont know how to write please mail to  wesagnd yahoo com

Implement Activity with View OnClickListener like below   public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements View OnClickListener         Override     protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            super onCreate savedInstanceState           setContentView R layout activity scan options            Button button   findViewById R id button           Button button2   findViewById R id button2            button setOnClickListener this           button2 setOnClickListener this               Override     public void onClick View view             int id   view getId             switch  id                 case R id button                        Write your code here first button                  break                case R id button2                        Write your code here for second button                  break

If you re targeting 1 6 or later  you can use the android onClick xml attribute to remove some of the repetitive code  See this blog post by Romain Guy    lt Button     android height  wrap content     android width  wrap content     android onClick  myClickHandler    gt    And in the Java class  use these below lines of code   class MyActivity extends Activity       public void myClickHandler View target               Do stuff

I think you can usually do what you need in a loop  which is much better than many onClick methods if it can be done   Check out this answer for a demonstration of how to use a loop for a similar problem  How you construct your loop will depend on the needs of your onClick functions and how similar they are to one another  The end result is much less repetitive code that is easier to maintain

Implement OnClickListener   on your Activity     public class MyActivity extends Activity implements View OnClickListener       For each button use     buttonX setOnClickListener this     In your Activity onClick   method test for which button it is      Override public void onClick View view        if  View equals buttonX              Do something     Also in onClick you could use view getId   to get the resource ID and then use that in a switch case block to identify each button and perform the relevant action
