Question

If I create buttons dynamically in a loop,

for(i=0; i < size; i++) {

Button button = new Button(this);
myLayout.addView(button);

}

How can I reference each of these buttons at a later time? So, for eg, if I wanted to change the text on a few buttons, how would I do that?

Thanks
Chris

Answer 1

Store an array of them?

Button buttons[] = new Button[size];

for(i=0; i < size; i++) {
   buttons[i] = new Button(this);
   myLayout.addView(buttons[i]);
}

buttons[0].setText("That was easy.");
buttons[1].setText("Yup.");
