How do i make a image clickable? I have tried some ways, but without success. Here's the last code i tried (it's clickable but gets error):
ImageView btnNew = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.newbutton);
btnNew.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// do stuff
}
});
and here's the part from xml:
<ImageView
android:src="@drawable/tbnewbutton"
android:text="@string/hello"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:id="@+id/newbutton"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="clickImage"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
When running this code, and clicking the image i get this error:
01-24 19:14:09.534: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1461): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a method clickImage(View) in the activity
HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
The XML:
<ImageButton
android:src="@drawable/tbnewbutton"
android:text="@string/hello"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:id="@+id/newbutton"
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="clickNew"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="@null" />
The code :
public void clickNew(View v)
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Show some text on the screen.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
As other said: make this an ImageButton
and define its onClick attribute
<ImageButton
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:onClick="scrollToTop"
android:src="@drawable/to_top_button"
/>
The image is here encoded in a file res/drawable/to_top_button.png. If the user clicks on the button, the method scrollToTop()
is called. This method needs to be declared in the class that sets the Layout with the ImageButton
as its content layout.
public void scrollToTop(View v) {
...
}
Defining the OnClick handler this way saves you a lot of typing and also prevents the need to anonymous inner classes, which is beneficial for the memory footprint.
