  1. POAndroid: OnClick Button Doesn't Append/Delete Value to Text View
    text
    copied!<p>I can't make Android <code>onClick</code> events work at all. I've rendered a TextView and some buttons in activity_main.xml. In MainActivity.java I tryied to attach an <code>onClick</code> event to all buttons that will append their value to an input field. However, I'm having trouble finding some tutorials, books, etc on the subject of making dialers work. I have three books and none talk about using the call functions or making dialers. The tutorials I find online are all about people showing users how to root and theme their dialer, not how to program one. So my issues:</p> <p>1) Where am I going wrong with appending a value to my Text view? 2) How will I remove the last value with the del onClick event? 3) How do I stop the Text view from pulling up the keyboard when a user clicks it? I.e. how to make it disabled/readonly (maybe) so only the buttons can update it?</p> <p>Thanks for your help. In the below code I've cut the buttons down to one. All I've done is copy all the buttons and change the IDs, text, etc. So all the methods are the same but I can't get just one button working. Again, please don't laugh at me too hard for the code below.</p> <p>activity_main.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/mainlayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" &gt;
