5,132 PointsAnyone managed to complete the extra credit (A Model User) for the Android Model-View-Controller Pattern section?
So far I've setup the two Java files, the homepage where I have the listener for button to submit the details and also linked the elements from my layout to the appropriate variables.
Secondly, I created a second java Class called UserDetail where I setup the custom constructor to hold all of the details. Now I know this is a mess and not close to complete, but can anyone give me a hint of where to go with this. (Second extract, shows this UserDetail model).
Thanks.
EDIT: Just to note, I could get this to work by putting it all in the (main) MyActivity page, but it doesn't seem the right way.
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
//SETUP VARIABLES FOR DETAILS
private EditText mUsername;
private EditText mRealName;
private EditText mAge;
//private RadioGroup mSex;
private EditText mLocation;
private Button mSubmitButton;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
mUsername = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.usernameEditText);
mRealName = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.realnameEditText);
mAge = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.ageEditText);
mLocation = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.locationEditText);
mSubmitButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.submitButton);
//SETUP ON CLICK LISTENER FOR BUTTON
mSubmitButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
}
});
}
Second Java Class
public class UserDetail {
//Setting all the attributes as variables for user details to be collected
private String mUsername;
private String mRealName;
private int mAge;
//private RadioGroup mSex;
private String mLocation;
//Set custom constructor to hold all variables for each user
public UserDetail(String username, String realName, int age, String location){
mUsername = username;
mRealName = realName;
mAge = age;
mLocation = location;
}
//Using Code, generate - to autocode getters and setters
public String getUsername() {
return mUsername;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
mUsername = username;
}
public String getRealName() {
return mRealName;
}
public void setRealName(String realName) {
mRealName = realName;
}
public int getAge() {
return mAge;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
mAge = age;
}
/*public ToggleButton getSex() {
return mSex;
}
public void setSex(ToggleButton sex) {
mSex = sex;
}*/
public String getLocation() {
return mLocation;
}
public void setLocation(String location) {
mLocation = location;
}
}

9,953 PointsThis probably isn't the answer you want to hear haha. You could send the user data as an intent IF your second class was an activity. However the most logical way would be to add it to an array (either java or xml would work). OR, you could setup an SQLite database to store the data.

5,132 PointsCheers Chris. Setting up two activities seems fairly straightforward, but as you say, does not seem the most logical solution. Will look into adding it to an array. Thanks!
