Android Onclicklistener - Identify a Button

Android OnClickListener - identify a button

You will learn the way to do it, in an easy way, is:

public class Mtest extends Activity {
  Button b1;
  Button b2;
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b1);
    b2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b2);
    b1.setOnClickListener(myhandler1);
    b2.setOnClickListener(myhandler2);
    ...
  }
  View.OnClickListener myhandler1 = new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
      // it was the 1st button
    }
  };
  View.OnClickListener myhandler2 = new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
      // it was the 2nd button
    }
  };
}

Or, if you are working with just one clicklistener, you can do:

View.OnClickListener myOnlyhandler = new View.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(View v) {
      switch(v.getId()) {
        case R.id.b1:
          // it was the first button
          break;
        case R.id.b2:
          // it was the second button
          break;
      }
  }
}

Though, I don't recommend doing it that way since you will have to add an if for each button you use. That's hard to maintain.

How to tell which button was clicked in onClick()

Implement View's OnClickListner in your activity class. Override on click method.

 Button b1= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
//find your button id defined in your xml. 


b1.setOnClickListener(this);
// You have button OnClickListener implemented in your activity class.
//this refers to your activity context.

I have used a toast message.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/toasts.html

 Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"button1", 1000).show();
 //display a toast using activity context ,text and duration

Using switch case you can check which button is clicked.

In your onClick method.

switch(v.getId())  //get the id of the view clicked. (in this case button)
{
case R.id.button1 : // if its button1
    //do something
    break;
}

Here's the complete code.

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    Button b1= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
    Button b2= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
    Button b3= (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
    b1.setOnClickListener(this);
    b2.setOnClickListener(this);
    b3.setOnClickListener(this);

}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    switch(v.getId())
    {
    case R.id.button1 :
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"button1", 1000).show();
        break;
    case R.id.button2 :
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"button2", 1000).show();
        break;
    case R.id.button3 :
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"button3", 1000).show();
        break;  


    }

}
 }

Knowing which button was clicked in Android

I hope you can use tag option. You can set the tag for a view by view.setTag(1) and then on click event you can get back the tag set using view.getTag().

Detect which button was pressed

If i correctly understand you can do something like this:

final View.OnClickListener soundButtonOnClickListener = new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        if(v instanceof Button) {
            Button button = (Button) v;
            String text = button.getText().toString();

            if(text == "1") {
                //...
            } else if(text == "2") {

            }
            //OR
            switch (text) {
                case "1": {
                    break;
                }
                case "2": {
                    break;
                }
                //...
            }
        }
    }
};

But in my opinion better use tag instead of text:

//set tag for your button
button.setTag(number); 

//use this tag
Integer number = (Integer) v.getTag();
if(number != null) {
    //...
}

Multiple Buttons' OnClickListener() android

You Just Simply have to Follow these steps for making it easy...

You don't have to write new onClickListener for Every Button... Just Implement View.OnClickLister to your Activity/Fragment.. it will implement new Method called onClick() for handling onClick Events for Button,TextView` etc.

Implement OnClickListener() in your Activity/Fragment

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {

}

Implement onClick() method in your Activity/Fragment

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
      // default method for handling onClick Events..
    }
}

Implement OnClickListener() For Buttons

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    
    setContentView(R.layout.your_layout);
    
    Button one = (Button) findViewById(R.id.oneButton);
    one.setOnClickListener(this); // calling onClick() method
    Button two = (Button) findViewById(R.id.twoButton);
    two.setOnClickListener(this);
    Button three = (Button) findViewById(R.id.threeButton);
    three.setOnClickListener(this);
}

Find Buttons By Id and Implement Your Code..

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    switch (v.getId()) {
        case R.id.oneButton:
            // do your code
            break;
        case R.id.twoButton:
            // do your code
            break;
        case R.id.threeButton:
            // do your code
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}
