Android Processing Buttons

Android Processing

Hi,

Have scanned quite a few pages and forums in relation to creating and displaying a simple button with a click event without really finding what I am looking for.

Can anyone please indicate how this is done? I thought this was going to be easy, but every time I try to create a button, I end up with errors left right and center.

Do I need to edit the AndroidManifest.XML file ? I would prefer to create a button at runtime.

The Android developers website seems to cover buttons, however this appears to be geared more towards Eclipse, rather than Processing.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated - or even a simple sketch that displays a button (with a clickEventListener)

Thanks

Scott

hi-
you don't have to write the manifest, it's automatically done according to the sketch permissions, name...

have you looked at this library ?

Hi Pauline,

Thanks for the link. I did not realize I was going to need to install a library. However, this one does seem to make things very easy. For others reading this forum post, have a look at this link within the APWidgets library site, which gives an example of how to create a Button : https://code.google.com/p/apwidgets/wiki/APButtonExample

A whole lot easier than designing a button from scratch. Plus it also works on my Android phone.

Thanks again Pauline.

Regards

Scott

I did end up using this library. And for anyone that is interested, here is the reason I asked this question:

It was for my step-by-step guide to creating an Android/Processing Sketch that would allow an Arduino to be controlled via Bluetooth (using an Android phone).

Here is the link:

Thanks Pauline, it turned out to be just what I was looking for.
