Favorite button Android in Shared Preference
i'm making a recipe application and would like to create a favourite button where the user will click on the grey star button and it will change into a yellow star button(i have a picture of a grey star and a yellow star), the selected favourites will then display in a list once you click on the favourites link on the home screen
I have the following code in a layout
<ImageButton android:id="@+id/favouritebtn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/staroff"
android:background="#00ffffff"
android:onClick="onToggleStar"
android:clickable="true"/>
Can anyone help me in how to write the code so that when i click on the star it will turn yellow and add to the favourite list
UPDATE
FavouriteBtn.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ImageButton;
public class FavouriteBtn extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.recipe);
final ImageButton imgButton =(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.favbtn);
imgButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
boolean isFavourite = readState();
if (isFavourite) {
imgButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.staroff);
isFavourite = false;
saveState(isFavourite);
} else {
imgButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.staron);
isFavourite = true;
saveState(isFavourite);
}
}
});
}
private void saveState(boolean isFavourite) {
SharedPreferences aSharedPreferences = this.getSharedPreferences(
"Favourite", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor aSharedPreferencesEdit = aSharedPreferences
.edit();
aSharedPreferencesEdit.putBoolean("State", isFavourite);
aSharedPreferencesEdit.commit();
}
private boolean readState() {
SharedPreferences aSharedPreferences = this.getSharedPreferences(
"Favourite", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
return aSharedPreferences.getBoolean("State", true);
}
}

Answer
Use ToggleButton in your XML:
<ToggleButton
android:layout_width="180dp"
android:layout_height="180dp"
android:id="@+id/myToggleButton"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:textOn=""
android:textOff=""/>
And in your Activity:
ToggleButton toggleButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
toggleButton = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.myToggleButton);
toggleButton.setChecked(false);
toggleButton.setBackgroundDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.img_star_grey));
toggleButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
@Override
public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
if (isChecked)
toggleButton.setBackgroundDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(),R.drawable.img_star_yellow));
else
toggleButton.setBackgroundDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.img_star_grey));
}
});
}
