POHow To Match Characters From Two TextViews
text
Body
copied!<p>I would like to know is it possible and how I could take the characters (in this case numbers) from two TextViews and use those matching digits to perform an action based on the number matched?</p> <p>Like for example I have in my activity two forms of text supplied from a previous activity via getIntent().getExtras from EditText inputs and in this activity I'm using setText() on those two text data into two different TextViews (TextView A and TextView B).Now let's say if TextView A has a 5 and TextView B has a 5,I would like to perform an action based on that 5 getting matched or say if TextView A has two 3's and TextView B has only one 3,how could I perform and action based on that one match and one non-match?</p> <p>Sorry I don't have any code posted up it's just that in my activity I would like to accomplish this but I don't know where to start.</p> <p>UPDATE:I posted my code to give a better example.</p> <pre><code>package com.fullfrontalgames.numberfighter; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.text.TextUtils; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.ImageView; import android.widget.TextView; import com.urbanairship.UAirship; public class Versus extends Activity { @Override protected void onStart() { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onStart(); UAirship.shared().getAnalytics(); } DBAdapter db; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.versus); final DBAdapter db = new DBAdapter(this); db.open(); Bundle PassedOverAttackNumbers = getIntent().getExtras(); String AttackerNumbers = PassedOverAttackNumbers .getString("com.fullfrontalgames.numberfighter.ANumber2Pass"); Bundle PassedOverDefenderNumbers = getIntent().getExtras(); String DefenderNumbers = PassedOverDefenderNumbers .getString("com.fullfrontalgames.numberfighter.DNumber2Pass"); Button Fight = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Fight); Button Continue = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Continue); ImageView AAvatar = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.AttackerAvatar); ImageView DAvatar = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.DefenderAvatar); TextView AName = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.AttackerName); TextView DName = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.DefenderName); TextView Admg = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.AttackerDamage); TextView Ddmg = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.DefenderDamage); TextView ANumbers = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.AttackerNumbers); TextView DNumbers = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.DefenderNumbers); TextView NBlock = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.NumbersBlocked); TextView NHit = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.NumbersHit); ANumbers.setText(AttackerNumbers); DNumbers.setText(DefenderNumbers); if (TextUtils.equals(AttackerNumbers, DefenderNumbers)) { NBlock.setText("1 Blocked"); NBlock.setText("2 Blocked"); NBlock.setText("3 Blocked"); NBlock.setText("4 Blocked"); NBlock.setText("5 Blocked"); NBlock.setText("6 Blocked"); NBlock.setText("7 Blocked"); NBlock.setText("8 Blocked"); NBlock.setText("9 Blocked"); } else { NHit.setText("1 Landed"); NHit.setText("2 Landed"); NHit.setText("3 Landed"); NHit.setText("4 Landed"); NHit.setText("5 Landed"); NHit.setText("6 Landed"); NHit.setText("7 Landed"); NHit.setText("8 Landed"); NHit.setText("9 Landed"); } } } </code></pre>
