Question

I am using the code below and I have a button that is not being displayed. I think it has something to do with “SetContentView” because if I remove one of them the button will show up. I am not sure how to get around this so that everything shows up? Thanks!

import java.util.List;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.content.Context;
import android.net.ConnectivityManager;
import android.net.NetworkInfo;
import android.net.wifi.WifiConfiguration;
import android.net.wifi.WifiManager;
import android.util.Log;

import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class TestActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. 
 * @return */



@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {    
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    Button OffWifi = (Button)findViewById(R.id.offwifi);
    OffWifi.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { 
      public void onClick(View v) {                 
          WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
            wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);

      });

    Log.d("WifiPreference", "enableNetwork returned " + b );   

    tv.setText("You are now connected!  " +
            "Version 1.1");

    status.setText("The was an error connecting, please try again.");

       //@Override

setContentView() doesn’t add views to the display, it replaces them. That’s why your button is going away.

Use the existing tv in your XML layout instead of creating a new one, and only call setContentReview() once.

Like this:

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button OffWifi = (Button)findViewById(R.id.offwifi);
OffWifi.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { 
  public void onClick(View v) {                 
      WifiManager wifiManager = (WifiManager)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
        wifiManager.setWifiEnabled(false);          
      }        
  });


// remove these lines
// TextView tv = new TextView(this);       
// TextView status = new TextView(this);                  

// add this line
TextView tv= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);


WifiManager wifi = (WifiManager) getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE); 
WifiConfiguration wc....

 ect.ect. 

Log.d("WifiPreference", "enableNetwork returned " + b );   

// let's do this later
//tv.setText("You are now connected!  " +
//        "Version 1.1");

//status.setText("The was an error connecting, please try again.");

   //@Override

try {

    Thread.sleep(5000);

     ConnectivityManager connec = (ConnectivityManager)getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); 

     if (connec != null && (connec.getNetworkInfo(1).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) ||(connec.getNetworkInfo(0).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED)){  

            //You are connected, do something online. 

            // setting the ContentView replaces everything, so don't do that
            //setContentView(tv);

            tv.setText("You are now connected!  " +
               "Version 1.1");



        }else if (connec.getNetworkInfo(0).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.DISCONNECTED ||  connec.getNetworkInfo(1).getState() == NetworkInfo.State.DISCONNECTED ) {              
            //Not connected.         


           //setContentView(status);
           tv.setText("The was an error connecting, please try again.");
        }  

} catch (InterruptedException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
