Question

I dynamically created buttons through code rather than from XML.


The code is as below :

    dynamicview = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.llayout);
     LinearLayout.LayoutParams lprams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
             LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
             LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

     for(int i=0;i<nob;i++){
         Button btn = new Button(this);
         btn.setId(i+1);
         btn.setText("Button"+(i+1));
         btn.setLayoutParams(lprams);
         dynamicview.addView(btn);
     }

I am not finding a way in which I can implement OnClickListener to each of these buttons so that I can perform action based on the reference I get.

Can anyone help me in sorting out this issue. ?

Thanks in Advance,

See the code below:

for(int i=0;i<nob;i++) {
    Button btn = new Button(this);
    btn.setId(i+1);
    btn.setText("Button"+(i+1));
    btn.setLayoutParams(lprams);
    final int index = i;
    btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        void onClick(View v) {
            Log.i("TAG", "The index is" + index);
        }
    });
    dynamicview.addView(btn);
}

My example is pretty simple, but demonstrates how you can get the button index into the OnClickListeber. You can access any final field in the declared anonymous classes (e..g the OnClickListener).
