I am having trouble with outputting data from my editText into a textView. My application asks for an input from the user and then displays it by concatenating them together with other words and displayed in one String in a textView at the end, although for testing purposes I have made the textView visible at all timed. The next word is asked for by using a button. The problem is that I am only able to display one element of the array at a time. For example if I enter the word "table" into my editText and then press the button. The textView will show "there is a table that is ". Once i enter another word such as "yellow" and press the button it shows "there is a that is yellow"
Here is my code
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
int i = -1;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
chooseGame();
}
public String enterWord() {
String[] array = {"Adjective", "Adjective", "Proper Noun", "Name"};
String entry;
if (array[i].equals("Adjective")) {
entry = "Enter an ";
} else {
entry = "Enter a ";
}
return entry;
}
public void nextWord(View view) { //nextWord is the cnclick of the button
i++;
getNextWord();
getInputs();
}
public void getNextWord() {
String[] array = {"Adjective", "Adjective", "Proper Noun", "Name"};
TextView wordTextView = findViewById(R.id.wordTextView);
Button nextButton = findViewById(R.id.nextButton);
EditText editTextView = findViewById(R.id.enterEditText);
String displayText = enterWord() + array[i];
String displayHint = array[i];
wordTextView.setText(displayText);
editTextView.setHint(displayHint);
}
}
public void chooseGame() {
final ArrayList<String> arrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
final TextView wordTextView = findViewById(R.id.wordTextView);
final EditText editTextView = findViewById(R.id.enterEditText);
final Button nextButton = findViewById(R.id.nextButton);
ArrayList<String> gamesArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
gamesArrayList.add("A Vegan's Worst Nightmare");
gamesArrayList.add("The Wet Floor Sign");
gamesArrayList.add("The Meaning of life");
gamesArrayList.add("Campfire Story");
gamesArrayList.add("The Crocobearamouse");
final ListView gamesListView = findViewById(R.id.gamesListView);
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
gamesArrayList);
gamesListView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
gamesListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
if (position <= 5 && position >= 0) {
gamesListView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
editTextView.setVisibility((View.VISIBLE));
wordTextView.setVisibility((View.VISIBLE));
nextButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
}
);
}
public void getInputs() {
TextView finalTextView = findViewById(R.id.finalTextView);
EditText editTextView = findViewById(R.id.enterEditText);
String[] inputsArray = {"","","","",""};
inputsArray[i] = editTextView.getText().toString();
String inputs = "There is a " + inputsArray[0] + " that is" + inputsArray[1];
finalTextView.setText(inputs);
}
}
