I am currently fooling around with the android SDK (eclipse) and i am trying to make a simple button-based TicTacToe game.
I made an array where i save the Buttons and i am trying to make the ClickEvents dynamically:
Here is the Code (Which works so far):
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
final Button[] buttons = new Button[9];
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
buttons[0] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
buttons[1] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2);
buttons[2] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button3);
buttons[3] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button4);
buttons[4] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button5);
buttons[5] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button6);
buttons[6] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button7);
buttons[7] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button8);
buttons[8] = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button9);
for(int i = 0;i < 9;i++)
{
buttons[i].setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0)
{
//
}
});
}
}
}
The problem comes when i try to reference to a button in the onClick-Method using 'i'. For example:
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0)
{
//buttons[0].setText("X"); works by the way
buttons[i].setText("X");
}
Eclipse tells me: "Change modifier of 'i' to final"
Well but if 'i' would be final, i wouldn't be able to increase 'i' in the loop.
So i tried this:
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0)
{
final int position = i;
buttons[position].setText("X");
}
Which ends up resulting with the same Error "Change modifier of 'i' to final"
So my Question is: How can i make this work?
I have tried google but i wasn't able to find anything and this really is the first time i ever encountered this problem .
Hope you guys can help me out!
EDIT:
Well the solution was simple, here is the now working code:
for(int i = 0;i < 9;i++)
{
final int position = i;
buttons[i].setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0)
{
buttons[position].setText("X");
}
});
}
