Question

I currently have Button in my main view which checks if users answer is correct.

Button CheckButton= (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.CheckButton);

    CheckButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() 
    {
    public void onClick(View v) {
                // some action, setting text
        }
            }); 

If button is pressed once it checks if answer is correct, and if button is pressed second time I want it to repeat activity e.g. present user with another question.

OnClickListener is inside onCreate method and question is generated using switch and unique id (for game difficulty).

What would be the best way to set this repeat activity until it’s been repeated 4 times. Thanks

switch (difficulty_level) 
{

case DIFFICULTY_HARD:

// do this

case DIFFICULTY_EASY:

// do this

}

To me, this doesn’t sound like logic belonging in the OnClickListener at all. The listener should simply register the click and then call a function in your activity “handleButtonClicked” that have access to fields that keep track of the number of clicks for the question, if the answer is correct and what the appropiate action is.

The fact that the OnClickListener is set in the onCreate only says that it is ready to be used after OnCreate. It doesn’t require the OnCreate to be run again.
