Check out my blog. The following post includes a video
that shows you how to create an Android smartphone application that displays a
vertically scrolling list of countries on the screen. The application is
created using the Eclipse IDE and Android SDK. It features an “OK” button at
the bottom of the screen that, when pressed, terminates the application.
In the process of making this Android application you will
encounter the following SDK object types, etc: ScrollView, Button, View, TableLayout, TableRow, OnClickListener, TextView, and Colours in Android represented by hexadecimal numbers.

Actually no, completely useless.
I would like to express my thanks to the writer just for rescuing me from this particular
circumstance. Right after looking out throughout the the net and
obtaining notions which are not powerful, I assumed my life was over.
Existing without the strategies to the problems you have solved by way of your good short post is a
critical case, as well as the ones that would have negatively damaged
my career if I had not encountered your blog. Your
own personal competence and kindness in taking care of all things was valuable.
I’m not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t encountered such a step like this.
I am able to at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot very much for the professional and amazing help.
I won’t think twice to suggest your web blog to anyone who should receive counselling on this matter.
Real good in sequence can be present bring into being resting on this blog.
Excellent. Working Perfect.

Hi, of course this paragraph is actually good and I have learned lot of things
from it regarding blogging. thanks.
Very shortly this web page will be famous among all blogging viewers,
due to it’s fastidious posts
Appreciating the dedication you put into your site
and in depth information you provide. It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same
outdated rehashed material. Fantastic read! I’ve saved your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Yes! Finally someone writes about google ranking.
Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine.
Please let me know where you got your design. Thank you
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now

Is there any way you can remove people from that
service? Cheers!
Nice weblog here! Also your website so much up fast! What host are you the usage of?
Can I am getting your affiliate hyperlink for your host?

Good Example !! Thank u 🙂
As we all know, looks can be deceiving, so I decided to try
out the question tool for myself. Once the number
of back links will increase, web traffic flow will
enhance. The more doors you have the more chances of people finding it.
This can be a great tool when selling products online, as a website can be designed to
offer either luxury or bargain-oriented goods, based
on traffic analysis. SEO must be implemented by following a step by step process.
Enough said. Since keyword analysis is needed for both
SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM,
we often confuse using these terms. This means that they
follow only the steps given to them by Google and
other major search engines. Isn’t that something you and your business should be a part of. What are the advantages of article submission. Use SEM experts to recognize duplicate content as part of your website, and act immediately to have it settled. However, in general, SEO services involve using standard and compliant coding. Effective SEO techniques for Bloggers aren’t any different.
It’s more control than you get In many backlinks and every element of these controls allow you to link a bit more than he would be out of control. These professionals follow ethical SEO strategy and effectively implement it that finally increases your website visibility. G) SEO basics -Image 6: Open Google. Have you been looking at your competitor’s websites to see what kind of keywords they’re using. Once someone clicks on your site, they should see tons of unique informative content. They are looking up the the keywords you did research on to find what they are looking for. SEO requires understanding of various algorithms.
Hi, how are you?
Firstly, I like all your tutorials I see, it’s easy to understand everything.
Secondly, I saw some examples of primefaces on your web, i don’t know if you have some tutorial with primefaces mobile, it would be very helpful.
I will thank you if you can do it.
Another thing i wanted to ask you is: Have you ever seen a NoSuchFieldError Exception?, I like to call some persistence methods from a hibernate project into a primefaces mobile project (both with maven configuration) and i got this exception.
Persistence Project works well and primefaces mobile project works too, if i use persistence method into a bean from web project works well, but if i call a persistence method into a bean method and i use it into a xhtml doesnt work, i test it with an apache tomcat server. Integration Technology that i’m using is Spring.
I hope you understand me what i’m saying you and you can help me with any idea.

i copied and pasted this over the one that was there
and then copied an pasted this one over the main java
package com.mkyong.android;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class MyAndroidAppActivity extends Activity {
Button button;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
addListenerOnButton();
}
public void addListenerOnButton() {

@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent browserIntent =
new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(“https://mkyong.com”));
startActivity(browserIntent);
}
});
}
}
and when i install it only says hello world!
help please
in the graphical layout you have to drag to make the button you can not just copy the code.
I agree with billy. You cannot just copy and paste the codes in “Eclipse SDK”. Just go to “res” -> layout -> and select activity_main.xml. At the bottom of the .xml file you will see 2 tabs. To drag and drop a button, go to the “Graphical Layout” section and in the “Form Widgets” palette you will find the “button” and other controls. Double click the button and write your code.

Hi Sitara,
You can find the source code here:
http://android.programmerguru.com/button-listener
========================================
@Override public void onClick(View arg0) { Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("https://mkyong.com")); startActivity(browserIntent); .......======================================
hello mkyong….i tried the code you have presented,,above…but there is an error in the @Override before the onClick() method…but when i deleted the @Override ..i can execute the program successfully…why is this so?…pls enlighten me….tnx
if delete override onClick no inheritance onclick method of so you can’t do anything with event click.
Sorry my skill english verry bad.
What needs to be done with the above code in AppActivity.java file to implement multiple buttons? I can’t seem to get more than one button to work. Thanks.
Anyone?
You just need to add listeners to each button. You will get more understanding if you take a look at this link which has simple example with two buttons:
http://android.programmerguru.com/simple-camera-activity/
i agree with Udhay. if you create one button you can create more, and more.
new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(“https://mkyong.com”));
i think the action need to ACTION_WEB_SEARCH…otherwise the activity dose not start
addListenerOnButton() should be a private method, not public.
