157 PointsAdding another counter in this project
right ive got one counter in this project all working but I'm trying to put another one at the bottom of the screen that will do the same but will work on another count.
xml code:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/TextViewCount"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="@string/hello_world" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/ButtonCount"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="@+id/TextViewCount"
android:layout_alignRight="@+id/TextViewCount"
android:layout_marginBottom="22dp"
android:text="Count" />
</RelativeLayout> Main Code:
package com.example.counter;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Private member field to keep track of the count
private static int mCount = 0;
private TextView countTextView;
private Button countButton;
public static final String PREFS_NAME = "com.example.myApp.mCount";
private SharedPreferences settings = null;
private SharedPreferences.Editor editor = null;
/** ADD THIS METHOD **/
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
countTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextViewCount);
countButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.ButtonCount);
countButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
mCount++;
countTextView.setText("Count: " + mCount);
editor = settings.edit();
editor.putInt("mCount", mCount);
editor.commit();
}
});
settings = getSharedPreferences(PREFS_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE);
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mCount = settings.getInt("mCount", 0);
countTextView.setText("Count: " + mCount);
}
}

Treehouse TeacherI see that @James has unfortunately cancelled. There were some missing pieces from this question that made it very hard to understand what the problem was.
