Events: What are they?

 A user interacts with your app through: touch, click, swipe, or

typing something.
 Android framework captures, stores, processes, and sends
these actions to your app as event objects.
 You write functions to respond to these events.
 These functions are written inside listener objects.

Simplified event handling model

Common Lister Objects

Interface Function Description

View.OnClickListener onClick() Called when the user either touches and
holds the control (when in touch mode), or
focuses upon the item with the navigation keys
then presses the ENTER key
View.OnLongClickListe onLongClick() Almost the same as a click, but only longer
ner
View.OnFocusChangeL onFocusChange() When the user navigates onto or away from the
istener control
View.OnTouchListener onTouch() Almost the same as click action but this handler
lets you find out if the user swiped up or down.
You can use this to respond to gestures
View.OnCreateContext onCreateContextM Android calls this when a ContextMenu is being
MenuListener enu() built, as a result of a sustained long click

Setting up a listener

 Two ways to setup a listener:

 Registering the listener object: tell Android Framework which
function to call when the user interacts with a view object
 View object sets it using its onclick attribute
 Registering a listener object
my_button.setOnClickListener(object: View.OnClickListener {
override fun onClick(v: View?) {
//do something
}
})

8
Setting up a listener
 The setOnClickListener is a member my_button.setOnClickListener(object:
function of the android.view.View class View.OnClickListener {
override fun onClick(v: View?) {
 This function expects an OnClickListener // do something
object as an argument—this object }
becomes the listener for the button control })

 We can create a listener object by creating

an object expression that inherits from
View.OnClickListener.
 Same object expression can be written
in less verbose way using lambda
function
my_button.setOnClickListener { // do something }
9
Setting up a listener

 To handle an event using onclick attribute of the object:

 Create a function in the associated kotlin file which accepts a view
 Set the value of the onclick attribute of the object to the function
created

fun do_something(v:View?){
// do something here
}

<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:onClick="do_something"
android:text="Button"/>
