Measuring how many times a Button is clicked in Android Application

[Sarra Sakka]

I am trying to create a simple application that counts the number of times a button is pressed, and display this number in the TextView !!
How can i do this !!
Thanks in advance

If i clicked in the button the quantity=1,
if the same button was pressed the quantity allowed is incremented,
and if the button was pressed one time the qunatity equal to 1.
i want to create some thing like this :

I have the method to get the name of product, the price and how i put the button "delete"
My problem is how can i get the quantity, and how can i calculate the total when i added evrey product
I need your help !

[Ulf Dittmer]

Using an onClick listener for those buttons, and a variable that increments or decrements depending on which button is clicked it should be pretty easy to keep track. Then you need a TextView for the current number, and you'd call ist setText method each time one of the button listeners is invoked.

If you don't know what an onClick listener is I'd start by reading up on that.

What specific problems are you facing with the layout? It seems to contain quite a few elements already, adding another TextView should not a problem, right?

[Sarra Sakka]

Yes, no probelm for adding the text view
I'll do what you told me, and after I'll tell you what my given as result.

[Sarra Sakka]

b1 is an image button which contains the product .
here i put the code of count !!!

 b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            			
            			@Override
            			public void onClick(View v) {
            				 
         			  		
            				 }
            			}
            		);

I have created a linear layout that contains the textView:

		LinearLayout Linearqte = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.Linearqte);
		TextView qte = new TextView(this);

[Sarra Sakka]

I created a method to calculate the count :

public int countClick(){
	    return countbutton++;
	}

i use it in OnClickListener !!
i need your help

[Ulf Dittmer]

Help with what? Post the problem description, and your current code.

[Sarra Sakka]

as I already said, I want to calculate the number of click of a button.
I created this method "countclick" to incremente the nulber of click
And i use it in OnClickListener method :

b1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            			
            			@Override
            			public void onClick(View v) {
            				 
            				
            				db.open();
            				countbutton = countClick();
            				putLinearCommandeProduct(v.getId(),countbutton);
            				db.close();
         			  		
            				 }
            			}
            		);

I create an attribut: int countbutton = 1;
here's the method putLinearCommandeProduct :

public void putLinearCommandeProduct(int idproduct, int quantity)
	{
		


		final LinearLayout Linearqte = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.Linearqte);
		final TextView qte = new TextView(this);
		final LinearLayout Linearname = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.Linearname);
		final LinearLayout Linearprix = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.Linearprix);
		final LinearLayout Linearbutton = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.Linearbutton);
		final TextView name = new TextView(this);
		final TextView prix = new TextView(this);


		// zone du bouton 
		final ImageButton delete = new ImageButton(this);
		
		delete.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
			
			@Override
			public void onClick(View v) {
				Linearprix.removeView(prix);
				Linearname.removeView(name);
				Linearbutton.removeView(delete);
			  		
				 }
			}
		);
	
		delete.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.delete);
		Linearbutton.addView(delete);
		
		//zone du prix unitaire
		double p = db.getSalePrice(idproduct);
		String textp = String.valueOf(p);
		prix.setTextSize(10);
		prix.setText(textp);
		Linearprix.addView(prix);
		
		//zone du name
		String nameproduct =db.getProductSingelName(idproduct);
		name.setTextSize(10);
		name.setText(nameproduct);
		Linearname.addView(name);
		
		//zone de quantity 
		String q = String.valueOf(quantity);
		qte.setText(q);
		Linearqte.addView(qte);
		
	}

The quantity always equal to 1, and when I click on the same button is not incremented !!

[Ulf Dittmer]

The problem is in these lines:

countbutton = countClick();  

public int countClick() {
        return countbutton++;  
}

"countButton++" does not have the same semantics as "countButton+1", which is what you want here. Or, alternatively, "countbutton++; return countbutton;" (in which case assigning the result of the method call to countbutton is superfluous).

You should read up on the prefix and postfix ++ and -- operators so you understand what they do.

[Sarra Sakka]

Yes, you're right.
But alwyas i have a probelem !!
when i press a product the quantity =1 and when i pressed another time it became 2 but in another ligne
also when i press another product the quantity became 3 or i press this product one time !!
For example here, I click on the product shawarma twice so I want it to appear on a single line quantity = 2
and the other Product I click one time or it shows me the quantity = 3, or it must be = 1!!

[Ulf Dittmer]

You need a "countbutton" field for each line; if you have just a single one then you won't be able to differentiate between them.

[Sarra Sakka]

mmmm, ok !!
do you have any suggestion about the code !!

[Ulf Dittmer]

I'll let you figure that out, it's not hard compared to some of the other stuff you're tackling.

[Sarra Sakka]

Some suggestion please

[Ulf Dittmer]

What do you think how this could be done?

[Sarra Sakka]

I have the idea but the making code is not clear up to now !!
the buttons is added dynamically, and how can i specify each button

[Sarra Sakka]

here is the modified method, do you think it is suitable !!

public int countClick(ImageButton b){
		if (b.isClickable()) {
	    return countbutton=countbutton+1;
		}
		else 
		return countbutton;
		
	}

[Ulf Dittmer]

Here's some good general advice: questions are ended by a single question mark. What you're posting -ended by double exclamations marks- over and over again looks more like you're ordering us to do something. You may want to change that behavior.

[Ulf Dittmer]

As to your question: it doesn't matter much whether we think it's suitable; what matters is whether it works - which you know, because you have tried it.

From a quick look at it, I don't see how it solves any of the problems you mentioned, or how it implements anything close to what I mentioned you needed to do.

[Sarra Sakka]

Sorry, I do not mean ordering you .

[Sarra Sakka]

Sorry, I do not mean ordering you .
I'm really need your help, i'm stuck

[Ulf Dittmer]

This is the advice I gave; start by implementing that.

Hint: you'll need something like an ArrayList to keep track of multiple counts.

[Sarra Sakka]

thanks a lot for your reply
This ArrayList where i put it , in the OnClickLIstener method or where ?

[Ulf Dittmer]

You need to put it so that all the code that needs to get at it can get at it. To answer that you first need to think about from which code locations you need to get at it. So what options do you have?
(Please don't answer with "I don't know", ShowSomeEffort that you're really thinking this through.)

The first thing is to create as you have already said, an array initialized to 1 its size depends on the number of product

public ArrayList <Integer> getTabcounter (double id, int sizetab) 
    {
    	ArrayList <Integer> tab = new ArrayList <Integer>();
    	for(int i=0; i< sizetab;i++){
    		tab.set(i, 1);
    	}

            return tab;
    	}

then, according to the ID for each product, if it clicked another time the 1 became 2,what's your opinion about this?
I want to find the solution myself , but I need your help because they are new tips for me
thanks in advance

[Ulf Dittmer]

That looks like a good start. The "id" parameter is not used - is it needed?

I actually think it is, and now that I see the images you posted, I realize that you want to offer the user a away to delete items. That means that an ArrayList won't do, because the index of items can change. What you actually need is a HashMap<Integer, Integer>, where the key is the ID of the product, and the value is the quantity of that item.

[Sarra Sakka]

Yes, i need the ID because it's reference each product
how can i use this HashMap ?

[Sarra Sakka]

I want a result like this, which also the total is calculate when i add every product or reduce when i delete it
