Question

I have created 3 buttons in my application which when clicked, will go to the method giveClue.

<ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/imageButton1"
        android:layout_width="24dp"
        android:layout_height="22dp"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/lifeButtonsLbl"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/ImageButton2"
        android:src="@drawable/icon"
        android:onClick="giveClue" />

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/ImageButton2"
        android:layout_width="24dp"
        android:layout_height="22dp"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/imageButton1"
        android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/ImageButton3"
        android:src="@drawable/icon" 
        android:onClick="giveClue"/>

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/ImageButton3"
        android:layout_width="24dp"
        android:layout_height="22dp"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/frameLayout1"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/ImageButton2"
        android:src="@drawable/icon"
        android:onClick="giveClue" />

NOTE: I don’t want to use different method for the

ACTIVITY CLASS:

public void giveClue(View view) {
        gameAdapter.giveClue(game);
    }

My problem is that I want to disable the button that was clicked.I don’t want to use different method for each button. Is it possible to determine which button was clicked so I can disable it.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Since the view that you get as an argument to onClick represents the view that was clicked, you can just call setEnabled(false) to disable the button.

public void giveClue(View view) {
    ((Button)view).setEnabled(false);  // disable button
}
