Please help

public void onClick(View view) { String fact = ""; int radInt = 0;

                // Random randomNumber = new Random();
                //  radInt = randomNumber.nextInt(2);
                if (radInt == 0) {
                    fact = "we are all happy";
                    Label2.setText(fact);
                } else if (radInt == 1) {
                    fact = "what a lovely day";
                    Label.setText(fact);
                    relativeLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
                    myButton.setTextColor(Color.RED);
                }
            radInt++;



            }

Instead of using the Random object, I have recoded the code as shown above. But id does not work. After the first 'if' statement is activated, the next 'if' does not come into play. Can you please help ?

In the funfacts activity, I would like the fun facts to come in a sequence , rather than in a random order. How do I do that. Would be grateful for any tips. Thanks

See the if-else-if functinality once. radint can be either 0 or 1 not both at atime so if radint==0 it enters frits if and if radint==1 it enters second if .Only one of the ifs execute at a time.

First you can create a fact array as follows:

String fact[] = {"hii","hello","how are you?"};

Then to display in a sequence you can use a for loop as follows:

for(int i=0;i<fact.length();i++)

{

Display.setText(fact[i]);

//waiting time

int j=10; // can be changed to required time

while(j>0)

j--;

}

Hope this helps!
