Question

basically I have a text view that displays the default status of the user

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/clickable_text_view"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:onClick="editStatus"
            android:paddingLeft="3dp"
            android:paddingRight="3dp"
            android:text="Online"/>

When I tap on this, the keyboard opens and it converts to an EditText. When this happens, there is a new button that appears that will say “Save Status”. What I want is for this to do is when I tap the “Save Status” button, it will create a new text view, where the use inputted text will display. This is my code, but I’ve got red squigglies under new TextView(this) and linearLayout.

    private OnClickListener keyboard = new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // Hide Keyboard
        InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus()
                .getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
        // Hide EditText
        EditText status = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.hidden_edit_view);
        status.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        // Get inputtes text
        String text = status.getText().toString();
        // Display text in TextView
        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.contactlist);
        TextView valueTV = new TextView(this);
        valueTV.setText(text);
        ((LinearLayout) linearLayout).addView(valueTV);

Answer 1

You’re going to want to reference the outer class instead by doing:

TextView valueTV = new TextView(YourActivity.this);

Since when you use just this inside the inner class, you are referencing the inner class instance, which isn’t a Context, it’s an OnClickListener.
