Question

I am populating a TableLayout (i.e. rows and columns) with data (strings).

When I click on a cell, I would like the data stored in this cell to be displayed in my console.

How can I do that? Is there any other way than to go over IDs?

Answer 1

As stated in http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tablelayout.html , there is no Column or TD (Table Data) or Cell equivalent in android. Each element is treated as an individual cell unless otherwise noted.

Having this in mine, and given the fact that you don’t specify what kind of View you’re using inside your rows, may I guess it’s a Button which you can of course click with something like this:

Button b = (Button)findViewById(R.id.oneOfMyButtons); // You could create this "on the go"
b.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener{
    public void onClick(View v){
        System.out.println(v.getText());
    }
}

Hope this helps.
