I have two classes. One is Main and the other is HelloWorld. When I click a button which is defined in main.xml I want it to display a message defined in HelloWorld class to start. When i click the button it does not do anything.Code is given below. If anything else is required to put up let me know. Thanks
Main.java
public class Main extends MapActivity implements LocationListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

long start;
long stop;
int x, y;

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button orderButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
orderButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Main.this, HelloWorld.class);
startActivity(intent);
};
});
map = (MapView)findViewById(R.id.mv);
map.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
Touchy t = new Touchy();
overlayList = map.getOverlays();
overlayList.add(t);
d = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.pinn);
//Placing pintpoint
lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria crit = new Criteria();
towers = lm.getBestProvider(crit, false);
Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(towers);
if (location != null){
lat = (int) (location.getLatitude() *1E6);
longi= (int) (location.getLongitude() *1E6);
GeoPoint ourLocation = new GeoPoint(lat,longi);
OverlayItem overlayItem = new OverlayItem(ourLocation, "Hi!!", "2nd");
CustomPinPoint custom = new CustomPinPoint(d, Main.this);
custom.insertPinpoint(overlayItem);

HelloWorld.java
import com.google.android.maps.OverlayItem;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class HelloWorld extends Activity
{
protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
public void onClick(View v)
{
Toast.makeText(HelloWorld.this, "you clicked on button![enter image description here][3]", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
} }
I have also written
<activity android:name=".HelloWorld" />
in my manifest
simple way
inlude android:onClick="onClickMyButton" as a attribute of Button in main.xml
remove onClickListener from this Button
now define this mathod in your Main Activity
public void onClickMyButton(View view){
Intent intent = new Intent(Main.this, HelloWorld.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
now start your application it should work fine
Your second activity HelloWorld doesn't have set a content view so it doesn't find the Button and you throw a NullPointerException. You have to set a contentView with setContentView containing the Button with the id R.id.button1 like you did in the MainActivity.
Your HelloWorld activity:
public class HelloWorld<AlertDialogActivity> extends Activity{
protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.layout_hello);
final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View view) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "You clicked on OK", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}
Where R.layout.layout_hello represents a xml file in the res/layout folder (named layout_hello.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button1" />
</LinearLayout>
It's the same thing like you did in the MainActivity.
HelloWorld then the app will Force Close. Also the name of your second class should be HelloWorld without the generic parameter <AlertDialogActivity>, like this public class HelloWorld extends Activity. If this doesn't work please post the exception you get in the Logcat - Luksprog 2012-04-04 11:36
MapActivity. I don't know what could be causing that but there are some questions about this issue, at a quick search I found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5848544/couldnt-get-connection-factory-client and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2199403/couldnt-get-connection-factory-client but there are more - Luksprog 2012-04-04 11:49
Main activity with a Button(this is working well?!). When you press the Button from Main you want to open HelloWorld(this gave you a Force Close but now you solved that exception? Do you get other exceptions?). Nothing happens when you click the button meaning what?(Do you get a blank screen(if yes add a content view to the activity HelloWorld like in my answer) - Luksprog 2012-04-04 12:21
Couldn't get connection factory client error and added a layout to HelloWorld activity, when you click the button from HelloWorld the toast should appear - Luksprog 2012-04-04 12:56
Why did you comment that line? //setContentView(R.layout.content_layout_id);
The activity is looking for the button R.id.button1 is a null view.
ya you must need to use setContentView()
un comment that code and try again
