udacityandroid/onCreate method in MainActivity.java

xMagicXs · 2019-09-09T16:23:37Z

this worked for me

// Find the View that shows the numbers category
TextView numbers = (TextView) findViewById ( R.id.numbers );

// Set a click listener on that View
if ( numbers !=null){
//Set a click listener on that View
numbers.setOnClickListener ( new View.OnClickListener () {
//The code in this method will be executed when the family View is clicked on.
@OverRide
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent numbersIntent = new Intent ( MainActivity.this, NumbersActivity.class );
startActivity ( numbersIntent );
}
} );
}
//Find the view that shows family cathegory
TextView family = (TextView)findViewById ( R.id.family );

    //Set a click listener on that View
    if ( family != null){
        family.setOnClickListener ( new View.OnClickListener () {
            //The code in this method will be executed when the family View is clicked on.
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent familyIntent = new Intent ( MainActivity.this, FamilyActivity.class );
                startActivity ( familyIntent );
            }
        } );
    }
    //Find the view that shows colors cathegory
    TextView colors = (TextView) findViewById ( R.id.colors );

    //Set a click listener on that View
    if (colors != null){
        colors.setOnClickListener ( new View.OnClickListener () {
            //The code in this method will be executed when the colors View is clicked on.
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent colorsIntent = new Intent ( MainActivity.this, ColorsActivity.class );
                startActivity ( colorsIntent );
            }
        } );
    }
    //Find the view that shows phrases cathegory
    TextView phrases = (TextView) findViewById ( R.id.phrases );

    //Set a click listener on that View
    if ( phrases != null){
        phrases.setOnClickListener ( new View.OnClickListener () {
            //The code in this method will be executed when the phrases View is clicked on.

            }
        } );
    }
}

lak4ever · 2019-10-27T14:02:22Z

I created the intents as directed in the video in the onClick() method. The app runs just fine but once i click the textViews on my device it doesn't move to the particular activity.For example if i click the numbers text view it should shift to the numbers activity but it does nothing at all. Please help

public void opensNumbersList(View v) {
// Find the View that shows the numbers category
TextView numbers = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.numbers);
    // Set a click listener on that View
    numbers.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        // The code in this method will be executed when this view is clicked on.
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
           Intent numbersIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this , NumbersActivity.class);
            startActivity(numbersIntent);
        }
    });
}

(new View.OnClickListener() please look carefully with this part is it new view or something else?

mudasiri · 2019-11-17T11:13:17Z

Why do we pass (MainActviity,this, NumbersActivity,class) instead of (this, NumbersActivity.class)

That's because MainActivity.this - is specifying the context clearly. When you are in an inner function it's best to state the context class fully rather than just using the 'this'. thus to help solve any issues that hans to do with scope resolutions.

seghier · 2019-11-20T12:41:19Z

This work fine

package com.example.android.miwok;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // Set the content of the activity to use the activity_main.xml layout file
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //attach the listener to the view
        TextView numbers = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.numbers);
        numbers.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent numbersIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,NumbersActivity.class);
                startActivity(numbersIntent);
            }
        });
        TextView colors = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.colors);
        colors.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

                startActivity(colorsIntent);
            }
        });
        TextView family = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.family);
        family.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            }
        });
        TextView phrases = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.phrases);
        phrases.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent phrasesIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,PhrasesActivity.class);
                startActivity(phrasesIntent);
            }
        });

    }

}

HMVinueza · 2019-12-12T03:25:26Z

I want to share my version of the code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Set the content of the activity to use the activity_main.xml layout file
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    //Number Listener
    setListenerOpenActivity(findViewById(R.id.numbers),NumbersActivity.class);
    setListenerOpenActivity(findViewById(R.id.colors),ColorsActivity.class);
    setListenerOpenActivity(findViewById(R.id.phrases),PhrasesActivity.class);
    setListenerOpenActivity(findViewById(R.id.family),FamilyActivity.class);

}

public void setListenerOpenActivity (View view, final Class cActivity){
    view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this,cActivity));
        }
    });
}

}

adda1 · 2019-12-26T20:58:30Z

When i write this code, the word setOnClickListener becimes red and says cannot resolve symbol. Why is this happening?

write the code inside of onCreate method.

Ahmed-Salim-93 · 2020-05-27T15:13:24Z

Hi, my code is working just fine without problems.
The only issue is that in the video there is a back button in the title bar, but, is my program there isn't.
Does anyone know why is that happening and how to solve this problem?

IQ-Hammurabi · 2020-06-03T21:10:26Z

for any one faces problems :

please make sure to paste the code inside onCreate method , otherwise the setOnClickListener will be RED, as below :

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Set the content of the activity to use the activity_main.xml layout file
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    TextView numbers = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.numbers);
    numbers.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        // The code in this method will be executed when the numbers View is clicked on.
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent numbersIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, NumbersActivity.class);
            startActivity(numbersIntent);
        }
    });

2)please make sure that all these imports are in your MainActivity.java

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;

noob-droid · 2020-06-17T19:37:07Z

Please check if you've pasted this code within the onCreate method.

thank you for the solution. i am sort of curious though, why shall it be within the onCreate method?

harshavardhan3199 · 2020-06-26T17:50:35Z

I think I'm the only one who things Katherine teaching is way better than the current one.

vaibhavbhardwaj201 · 2020-09-19T00:35:45Z

Why do we pass (MainActviity,this, NumbersActivity,class) instead of (this, NumbersActivity.class)

Because we are in the Anonymous inner class. Class inside other class.

Abhilashtyagi007 · 2020-09-24T08:25:07Z

put this code into the onCreate method

yaz71 · 2020-09-28T15:58:36Z

Question : do we have to copy past the code for all 4 categories ? or is it possible to just build one onclicklistener class and then use it on the 4 different textView objects ?

yaz71 · 2020-09-28T16:08:49Z

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Set the content of the activity to use the activity_main.xml layout file
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    TextView numbers= (TextView)findViewById(R.id.numbers);
    TextView phrases = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.phrases);
    TextView family = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.family);
    TextView colors = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.colors);

    numbers.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent Numb = new Intent(MainActivity.this, numbersActivity.class);
            startActivity(Numb);
        }
    });

    phrases.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent phrase = new Intent(MainActivity.this, phrasesActivity.class);
            startActivity(phrase);
        }
    });

    family.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent fam = new Intent(MainActivity.this, familyMembersActivity.class);
            startActivity(fam);
        }
    });

    colors.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Intent col = new Intent(MainActivity.this, colorsActivity.class);
            startActivity(col);
        }
    });
}

}

Here's my code, but I don't like the too much repetition :/ is there like an IF statement or a switch to use to implement this in less lines?

ghost · 2020-10-01T19:27:22Z

setOnClickListener

same with me

Ahmostafaa · 2020-12-01T20:50:42Z

Can anyone tell me what's wrong ?

noxicus · 2021-01-21T09:29:39Z

Can anyone tell me what's wrong ?

Check your brackets and semicolons

nitish778191 · 2021-01-31T18:05:45Z

Can anyone explain this line of code please!

bmramyabm · 2021-03-05T03:52:13Z

Please check if you've pasted this code within the onCreate method.

Thanks

Rishabh5752 · 2021-05-20T16:38:25Z

is anyone lost like me? :(

yes, i don't understand a single word of the video

n0obs73r · 2021-05-28T11:06:50Z

Can anyone explain this line of code please!

The first Parameter you are passing is the context of current activity because in case you want to press back after going to the next activity it'll act as a link and the next one is pretty self explanatory (it is passing the class you want to go to after clicking on the view).

wdoodoo · 2021-07-20T02:00:21Z

Hello, fellow coders.

I am sharing code based on my development environment as below.
I am using Android Studio 4.2.2, Build #AI-202.7660.26.42.7486908, built on June 24, 2021, Runtime version: 11.0.8+10-b944.6842174 amd64, VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by N/A
openjdk version "11.0.10" 2021-01-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.10+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.10+9, mixed mode)

The MainActivity.java code is look like this and it works for me.
Hope this is helpful for someone out there. Happy coding!

``
package com.tutorial.android.miwok;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

     TextView numbers = findViewById(R.id.numbers);
     numbers.setOnClickListener(view -> {

        Intent numbersIntent = new Intent(this, NumbersActivity.class);
        startActivity(numbersIntent);
    });

    TextView family = findViewById(R.id.family);

    family.setOnClickListener(view -> {
        Intent familyIntent = new Intent(this, FamilyActivity.class);
        startActivity(familyIntent);
    });

    TextView colors = findViewById(R.id.colors);

    colors.setOnClickListener(view -> {

        Intent colorsIntent = new Intent(this, ColorsActivity.class);
        startActivity(colorsIntent);
    });

    TextView phrases = findViewById(R.id.phrases);

    phrases.setOnClickListener(view -> {

        Intent phrasesIntent = new Intent(this, PhrasesActivity.class);
        startActivity(phrasesIntent);
    });
}

}

Harriskobia · 2022-05-24T05:03:26Z

Note: If you don't want to create a Intent class, you can simply call the Intent constructor INSIDE the startActivity() method, like this:

TextView numbers = findViewById(R.id.numbers);
    numbers.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v){
            startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, NumbersActivity.class));
        }
    });
}

This is actually nice
