Question

I’m developing an application where I need to turn off and on the onClicKListener on some buttons.

I have an external run method where I want to toggle on the onClickListener to the buttons. In my onCreate method I have code like this:

button.setOnClickListener(this); 

In a method I call externally (that is a method which isn’t onCreate) I have a statement which says button.setOnClickListener(null); when a certain condition is fulfilled.

Now I wonder how, to in the same method if another condition is fulfilled turn the onClickListener back on. It doesn’t work with button.setOnClickListener(this);

In my activity I’m implementing onClickListener through extends Activity implements OnClickListener or something.

Thanks in advance!

    private boolean enableClick;
     @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
     {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.main);

      Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
      button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
          {
              public void onClick(View v) 
              {
                  if(enableClick)
                  {
                      // do
                  }
              }
          }
  );

     }

You just need to update the value of enableClick.
