Hi,
i have a bit of a problem with a application i am coding, the problem consists of using Intent to switch the paged viewed by the user. the code for each button is similar, with only variables being changed. below is my .java code.

Code: Select all

package com.trashbag.SchoolKit;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.View;
import android.content.Intent;


public class SKIT extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
   private Button MathBtn;
   private Button HistoryBtn;
   private Button LanguagesBtn;
   private Button EnglishBtn;
   private Button ScienceBtn;
   private Button BugBtn;
   private Button DonateBtn;
   private Button SuggestASubjectBtn;   
   
   protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.main);
      
      MathBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.MathBtn);
      HistoryBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.HistoryBtn);
      LanguagesBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.LanguagesBtn);
      EnglishBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.EnglishBtn);
      ScienceBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ScienceBtn);
      BugBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.BugBtn);
      DonateBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.DonateBtn);
      SuggestASubjectBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.SuggestASubject);
      
      MathBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
      HistoryBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
      LanguagesBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
      EnglishBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
      ScienceBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
      BugBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
      DonateBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
      SuggestASubjectBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
      
   }
   public void onClick(View v){
      switch (v.getId()) {
      case R.id.MathBtn:
         Intent mathIntent = new Intent(this,MATH.class);
         this.startActivity(mathIntent);
         break;
      case R.id.HistoryBtn:
         Intent historyIntent = new Intent(this,HISTORY.class);
         this.startActivity(historyIntent);
         break;
      case R.id.LanguagesBtn:
         Intent languagesIntent = new Intent(this,LANGUAGES.class);
         this.startActivity(languagesIntent);
         break;
      case R.id.EnglishBtn:
         Intent englishIntent = new Intent(this,ENGLISH.class);
         this.startActivity(englishIntent);
         break;
      case R.id.ScienceBtn:
         Intent scienceIntent = new Intent(this,SCIENCE.class);
         this.startActivity(scienceIntent);
         break;
      case R.id.BugBtn:
         Intent bugIntent = new Intent(this,BUG.class);
         this.startActivity(bugIntent);
         break;
      case R.id.DonateBtn:
         Intent donateIntent = new Intent(this,DONATE.class);
         this.startActivity(donateIntent);
         break;
      case R.id.SuggestASubject:
         Intent suggestIntent = new Intent(this,SUGGEST.class);
         this.startActivity(suggestIntent);
         break;
         
      }
   }
   }

any help is greatly appreciated.

*EDIT: sorry if this is in the wrong section*

Hi trashbag,

And you use finish() to end any of these secondary activities so that you return to this one?

Phyll

where do i put it? at the end of the Intent statement? or at the end of the new .java file?

Hi trashbag,

For instance, one of your secondary activities might follow this pattern:

Code: Select all

public class MATH extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        setContentView(R.layout.mathactivity);
        Button done = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button_done);
        done.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View view) {
                finish();
                }
            });
        }
    //TODO: Fill In Methods Etc.
    }//class


By the way, all capital letters is usually reserved for constants. Class names are usually a capital letter on the first letter of any whole words but not all caps, like Math or MathActivity. At least that is more conventional.

This would return to your previous SKIT in the same way as pressing the Back key.

Hope this helps.

Phyll

Phyll,
