Question

I have an application which has asks a user to input the amount of what he/she eats. The input field I used is an EditText. What I want to happen is when there’s a change in the edittext, it should calculate (i.e., multiply the amount by its calories like 2 amount of bread is equal to 8 calories. So the answer should be 16 calories.)

But I can’t get it to work. Please have a look on what I’ve tried:

UPDATED:

public class Bread_White extends Activity implements OnClickListener, OnItemSelectedListener {

Spinner sp;
Button calories, save, back, home;
String selected, strCalories;
TextView tv;
EditText etAmount;

int total;

RadioGroup rgMeal;
//RadioButton breakfast, ms, lunch, as, dinner, es;

String[] classes = {
        "Cornbread",
        "French Bread",
        "French Toast",
        "French Toast, low fat",
        "Italian Bread",
        "Wheat Bread",
        "Wheat Bread, low calories",
        "Wheat Bread, whole wheat"
};

//put how much calorie each food item has in this array
int[] intCalories = {188, 185, 126, 149, 81, 66, 46, 89};

}

}

Please help fix this. Thanks.

Answer 1

Declare selectedPos as class level variable

int selectedPos = 0;

public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
        //your business logic after text is changed

         int cal = intCalories[selectedPos];
         total = (Integer.parseInt(s.toString)) * cal;

         calories.setText(total + " calories");
    }

set your spinner selected position in defined variable.

Happy coding 🙂
