Question

I have a list of Clickable TextViews that are relatively doing the same thing. You click on it and it goes to that activity. Settings goes to the settings activity. About to the about and so forth. Is there an easier way to declare and set up these clickable TextViews besides this repetitious code?

 TextView create,
                         edit,
                         settings,
                         about;

        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                setContentView(R.layout.activity_navigation);

                create = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.create);
                        create.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
                edit = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.edit);
                        edit.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
                settings = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.settings);
                        settings.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
                about = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.about);
                        about.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));

                create.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v) {

                        }      
                });

                edit.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v){

                        }
                });

                settings.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v){

                        }
                });

                about.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener(){
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(View v){

                        }
                });

If you have a small set of items you can take following approach:

public class MyActivity extends Activity implements AdapterView.OnItemClickListener {

    private ArrayAdapter<Item> mAdapter;

    private static enum Item {Create,Edit,Settings,About}

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

        //-- can set up from external layout also--
        ListView list = new ListView(this);
        setContentView(list);

        list.setOnItemClickListener(this);

        mAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<Item>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,Item.values());
        list.setAdapter(mAdapter);

    }

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
        switch (mAdapter.getItem(i)){
            case Create:
                //--do stuff--
                break;
            case Edit:
                //--do stuff--
                break;
            case Settings:
                //--do stuff--
                break;
            case About:
                //--do stuff--
                break;
        }
    }
}
