Question

I want to remove a Button in his own onClick method after it’s clicked. I tried it with the normal way:
layout.removeView(save);
But the button will not be removed and I get no error. If I want to add the Button I get an error because the button already excists.

I think it isn’t working because I trie to remove the button during his OnClickHandler is active. So my Question is how can I remove the button after he is clicked?

Answer 1

Here’s the complete, fully tested solution:

    Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);        
    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View view) {

            view.setVisibility(View.GONE);
        }
    });      

You can also completely remove the view from the layout like this (also tested):

    Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);        
    button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View view) {
            ViewGroup parentView = (ViewGroup) view.getParent();
            parentView.removeView(view);
        }
    });
