I am very new to Android development. I have tried to recreate an app where if you press a button, a message "new text string" is displayed. However, when I run the AVD and choose the Virtual Device, it doesn't display it. Just an old TestApp I had. Can anyone suggest a fix? I'd really appreciate it. My code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android= "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:id="@+id/hello_text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
<Button android:id="@+id/trigger"
android:layout_width="100dip" android:layout_height="100dip"
android:text="@string/button1"
android:layout_below="@+id/hello_text"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_marginTop="111dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
SimpleActivity.java
package com.example.simpleactivityexample;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.*;
import android.view.View;
public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Toast.makeText(this, "onCreate", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Button startButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.trigger);
startButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
private TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hello_text);
public void onClick(View view)
{
tv.setText("new text string");
}
}
);
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Toast.makeText(this, "onStart", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Toast.makeText(this, "onResume", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
protected void onRestart() {
super.onRestart();
Toast.makeText(this, "onRestart", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onPause", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
super.onPause();
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onStop", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
super.onStop();
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
Toast.makeText(this, "onDestroy", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
super.onDestroy();
}
}
