Question

Let s say I have a few buttons in a LinearLayout  2 of them are   mycards button     Button this findViewById R id Button MyCards    exit button     Button this findViewById R id Button Exit      I register setOnClickListener   on both of them   mycards button setOnClickListener this   exit button setOnClickListener this     How do I make a SWITCH to differentiate between the two buttons within the Onclick    public void onClick View v      switch             case                Start a new Activity MyCards java          Intent intent   new Intent this  MyCards class         this startActivity intent         break      case                AlerDialog when click on Exit          MyAlertDialog          break

Use     public void onClick View v         switch v getId            case R id Button MyCards      Start a new Activity MyCards java            Intent intent   new Intent this  MyCards class           this startActivity intent           break         case R id Button Exit      AlerDialog when click on Exit            MyAlertDialog            break            Note that this will not work in Android library projects  due to http   tools android com tips non-constant-fields  where you will need to use something like   int id   view getId    if  id    R id Button MyCards        action1      else if  id    R id Button Exit        action2

Another option is to add a new OnClickListener as parameter in setOnClickListener   and overriding the onClick  -method   mycards button     Button this findViewById R id Button MyCards     exit button     Button this findViewById R id Button Exit        Add onClickListener to mycards button mycards button setOnClickListener new OnClickListener         public void onClick View view               Start new activity         Intent intent   new Intent this  MyCards class           this startActivity intent                 Add onClickListener to exit button exit button setOnClickListener new OnClickListener         public void onClick View view               Display alertDialog         MyAlertDialog

And there s yet a third option  In your onCreate   method  find all the button views that you have and save them as class data members   You can then cascade a group of if-else statements to find which is which   It s kind of messy  but it s a must if you don t know the ID of the buttons  which can be complicated if you are generating buttons in java code     Override public void onClick View v        if  v    m myCards            Intent intent   new Intent this  MyCards class           this startActivity intent             else if  v    m exit            MyAlertDialog              else if  v    m back            finish                        Another nice thing about this technique is that it s flexible and quick  no having to parse IDs    The bad thing is that you need to keep the widgets in memory   Don t know which method is better
