Apps Android Code - Recording Taps

[thegreatmike]

Was hoping to get some help. Just need a simple code to record taps on the screen. (Example = Every time i tap the screen, the numbers raise 1, 2, 3, etc.)

Using eclipse to program everything. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to Android Forums!

I've moved this to the Application Development forum so you get better exposure for your questions.

Have a data member in your Activity to store the current click, then in your OnClickListener's onClick() method, increment that count data member. If you are using a TextView to display the current count, you need to call something like myTextView.setText(Integer.toString(myCountVariable)); after you increment the count variable in the onClick() method.

hey jon, thx for the reply. I'm still pretty lost. So here's what I got...

I added a "Number" Text View into the Graphical Layout and i called that '@+id/Score'

I added a Button called '@+id/button1'

so far in my java file i have this:

public class Tap_Game_Activity extends Activity {

private Button tapBtn;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

tapBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

tapBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
THIS IS WHERE I NEED TO PUT THE +1 NUMBER INCREMENT RIGHT?
}
});


My problem is - I dont know the code (I'm totally new at coding, I copied all the above code off of a YouTube video) so when I click that button the Score text field increments by +1 everytime. Thanks so much for any help

I believe I figured it out:

public class Tap_Game_Activity extends Activity {


private Button tapBtn;

int scr=1;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

tapBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

tapBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
scr=scr+1;
TextView Score = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.Score);
Score.setText(String.valueOf(scr));
}
});
}

Seems to work for me . Hope that helps anyone with the same issues.
