I'm wanting to "do something" (actually play an mp3 sound) when someone has finished entering data in an EditText object in my activity, but I'm not sure how to tell when this has occurred. In VB, there is a event called lostfocus, but I don't know how to do it in java. I'm guessing that it has something to do with OnClickListener to see when the user is actually in the EditText object (let's call it et_01), but how do I know when they've gone to some other object?
I'd appreciate any specific help, as I'm pretty new to java.
How about OnFocusChangeListener?
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.OnFocusChangeListener.html
I did some searching and it seems like I need to use OnFocusChangeListener. I found this code snippet (below), but I'm too dumb to figure out how to plug it into my app. If my EditText that I'm watching is called et_01, can somebody please tell me 2 things...
1. How do I tie the OnFocusChangeListener to my et_01?
2. Where (specifically) does this code go in my activity? Inside my extends Activity...after the extends Activity...where oh where?
Code:
OnFocusChangeListener focusListener = new OnFocusChangeListener() {
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
/* When focus is lost check that the text field
* has valid values.
*/
if (!hasFocus) {
validateInput(v);
}
}
You have to connect a TextView object to your actual textview, then override the OnFocusChangeListener of that textview object.
Here's a complete implementation using your snippit (You have to implement validateInput() yourself):
Code:
package com.myapp.mytest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnFocusChangeListener;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MyTest extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.et_01);
tv.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener(){
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v,boolean hasFocus){
/* When focus is lost check that the text field
* has valid values.
*/
if (!hasFocus) {
validateInput(v);
}
}
});
}
}
Thank you, thank you, thank you! That is some nice help. I have one follow up question:
In my own activity, I should be able to put the code below in just under my own call: setContentView(R.layout.main);
In other words, I don't need to create a new class to do this. Correct? I apologize for my ignorance.
Code:
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.et_01);
tv.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener(){
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v,boolean hasFocus){
/* When focus is lost check that the text field
* has valid values.
*/
if (!hasFocus) {
validateInput(v);
}
}
});

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (stupid forum says my response was too short)
OK, I'm having an issue that I don't understand. In the code below, I'm getting an error on the MediaPlayer mpWeight = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.mppig);
Holding my cursor over .create says:
The method create(Context, int) in the type MediaPlayer is not applicable for the arguments (new View.OnFocusChangeListener(){}, int)
What does that mean, and more importantly, how do I resolve it?
Here's the whole routine:
Code:
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.weight);
tv.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener(){
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v,boolean hasFocus){
/* When focus is lost check that the text field
* has valid values.
*/
if (!hasFocus) {
float tempweight = Float.parseFloat(et_weight.getText().toString());
if(tempweight > 200){
MediaPlayer mpWeight = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.mppig);
mpWeight.start();
}
}
}
});
It has to do with the "this" pointer you are passing to the create() method. Since you are creating this within the OnFocusChangeListener() class, that it the "this" pointer. OnFocusChangeListener() does not resolve to a type "context" whereas if you'd created your media player within your Activity, Activity does resolve to a context.
To resolve this, make a class member of your activity that keeps a copy of the context. Assign it in the activity's OnCreate:
Code:
public class MyTest extends Activity {
[COLOR="blue"]protected Context mContext=null;[/COLOR]
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
[COLOR="Blue"]mContext=this;[/COLOR]
TextView tv=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.et_01);
tv.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener(){
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v,boolean hasFocus){
/* When focus is lost check that the text field
* has valid values.
*/
if (!hasFocus) {
float tempweight = Float.parseFloat(et_weight.getText().toString());
if(tempweight > 200){
MediaPlayer mpWeight = MediaPlayer.create([COLOR="blue"]mContext[/COLOR], R.raw.mppig);
mpWeight.start();
}
}
}
});
Gene, you are awesome! Thanks again for the help.
As with many things in life, this has led me to a new problem, that I do believe will be the end of this subject, if I can get it resolved.
In my activity, I have a few EditText objects mixed in with a few Spinner objects. The new problem is that if you have your cursor in an EditText object and the next item in the activity is a Spinner, the focus doesn't leave the EditText when the Spinner is selected. The focus of any of my EditText objects only leaves those objects IF the next thing selected is another EditText.
I'm unsure how to resolve this. Is there possibly a way to force the focus out of the EditText once a Spinner (or any other object) is touched? I would have thought that would happen automatically, but it doesn't seem to be doing so.

Please help on this. waiting for Responses.
Try this
Code:
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int position, long id) {
// Do your action here
}
});
There are multiple ways. If using a ListFragment/ListActivity, onListItemClick can also be used. However, I think that that is used especially with a programmatically-defined ListView.
If you want to start a new Activity, do some research about Intents.

This. Use the position parameter if you want it to only open when a particular item is clicked (It is zero-based, if I remember correctly)
Then, to open the Intent:
Code:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityName.class);
startActivity(myIntent);
Opening on any listitem click:
Code:
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int position, long id) {
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityName.class);
startActivity(myIntent);
}
});
Opening on a specific item:
Code:
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int position, long id) {
if (position == ITEM_POSITION_HERE)
{
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityName.class);
startActivity(myIntent);
}
}
});
how so i implement the code to open new activity on row cick?

How do i implement this code in my main activity's java file?
suppose, i have a main activity which contains the listview and i have another activity "Activity_game"
and i want to open Activity_game on clicking the first row,
so i put "0" at "ITEM_POSITION_HERE" and "game" at the place of "ActivityName"
but it gives my a bunch of errors and it doesn't work
listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int position, long id) {
if (position == ITEM_POSITION_HERE)
{
Intent myIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), ActivityName.class);
startActivity(myIntent);
}
}

my problem is , when i run the app, it doesn't show any rows , not even any listview , or string
(just blank white page)

first one is Activity_main.xml in which ive implemented listview
here is it's java file

{
case 0: Intent newActivity = new Intent(this, Munda.class);
startActivity(newActivity);
break;
}
}
}
and another activity is Activity_munda.xml
so, i want to run "Activity_munda" through on row click of listview
i also want to have many activities later in my app
my project is error free right now
do you think i have incomplete code?

Your code is incomplete. You haven't populated the layout "activity_main.xml" here. and haven't added the list view, So it is indeed correct the app displays a blank page with no errors.

Come on, you haven't tried all of them. Please don't let everyone else do the work for you. And if you can manage to do it yourself, it will be a better learning experience.

Read this about ListActivity. It should answer your questions: http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidListView/article.html#listactivity
And I won't post step by step guides on how to implement ListViews. There are many great tutorials out there. I can help you if you have problems/errors with your code, but @vijai2011 has already explained what you need to do.
You cannot expect anyone to spoon feed you. We are here to help people who try to do something but run into problems. Not people who doesnt even try to understand what they do. The guides by vogella are very simple and there is no problem with the guide. You cannot simply copy paste the codes from the tutorial and expect it to compile and work.

You can't do a second setContentView call in an activity. What you can do is define two Layouts within a LinearLayout in the XML, set the first one to "android:visibility="gone"", the second one to "visible" and switch between them onClick
Code:
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onClick(View v) {
switch (v.getId()){
case R.id.btnOne:
mLayoutFirst.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mLayoutSecond.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
break;
case (R.id.btnTwo):
mLayoutFirst.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mLayoutSecond.setVisibility(View.GONE);
break;
}
}

Alternatively you could use a ViewSwitcher and call it's .next() and .previous() methods. This would probably be necessary when you have more than 2 views.

Thanks, never heard of before. I use that method for hiding/unhiding complete ViewGroups, Buttons and what not but I'll look into that, might be more easy.
Try naming the activity other than the "main" attribute, that is only for the first or "parent" activity. You need it to be a child activity.

Cool, learned something new
Hello, I'm extremely new to both android application developing, and this forum.
I am trying to open another screen ( activity ) when a button ( readyButton ) on the splash screen is pressed. I've tried at least ten different times with different tutorials to no avail, this is my current code which didn't work, and instead forces the app to crash.
Code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Called when the activity is first created.
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
OnClickListener listener = new OnClickListener() {
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent("SecondActivity");
startActivity(intent);
}
};
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.readybutton);
btn.setOnClickListener(listener);
}
}
Please help.
The button's name is 'readybutton'
the second activity name is 'SecondActivity'
also, where am I supposed to put this code into the java class? Here is how it is currently set up:

startActivity(intent);
}
};
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.readybutton);
btn.setOnClickListener(listener);
}
}
/** new button code end */

public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.my, menu);
return true;
}
[user=439709]@override[/user]
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
// End of Default Items
incorrectly announces intent
Try like this.
Code:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class) ;
startActivity(intent);
and check whether your Listener
1. you need to use the full name of your activity, including the package name.
2. you need to declare the activity in your AndroidManifest.xml file before calling it.

Unless he want's to run an activity that's not his, like opening the contact list, but I think you're right in assuming he's looking to launch a second one of his own activities.

super.onOptionsItemSelected will execute the onOptionsItemSelected function with parameter item in the "super" class your class extends from, eg Fragment/Activity/ActionBarActivity/FragmentActivity etc

Thanks for your response.
With the code below what does that mean? and could you provide an example of what would happen if I selected an option other than search or settings? I am having trouble with what this all means in the grand scheme of things. I might be missing something basic so try to keep that in mind - I have little knowledge of java.
