[Q] Setting restriction on editText

Hello, I am new to java and having difficulties trying to set a restriction on one of my editText.
I am trying to develop an app that allows user to fill there information in the application and then send through an email client.
So for my phone number section i am trying to make a restriction for only 11 characters to be entered, also for all the fields to be completed to process through the next stage.
here is my coding:
package com.example.rumel.booking2;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements View.OnClickListener {
EditText personName, numberGuests, phoneNumber, date, time;
String name, guests, number, dte, tme;
Button sendEmail;
@override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
initializerVars();
sendEmail.setOnClickListener(this);
}
private void initializerVars() {
personName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etName);
numberGuests = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etGuest);
phoneNumber = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etPhone);
date = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etDate);
time = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.etTime);
sendEmail = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
}
public void onClick (View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
convertEditTextVarsIntoStringsAndYesThisIsAMethodWeCreated();
String[] to = new String[]{"[email protected]"};
String message = "Name: "
+ name
+ "\n"
+ " Number of Guests: "
+ guests
+ "\n"
+ " Contact Number: "
+ number
+ "\n"
+ " Date: "
+ dte
+ ", Time: "
+ tme
+ "\n"
+ "\n"
+ "Thank you";
Intent emailIntent = new Intent (Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, to);
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Reservation");
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
emailIntent.setType("message/rfc822");//rfc822 email protocol
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent,"Email"));
}
private void convertEditTextVarsIntoStringsAndYesThisIsAMethodWeCreated() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
name = personName.getText().toString();
guests = numberGuests.getText().toString();
number = phoneNumber.getText().toString();
dte = date.getText().toString();
tme = time.getText().toString();
}
@override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}
@override
protected void onPause() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPause();
finish();
}
@override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Would appreciate any help, thank you

[Q] How to update a textView every second.

I have a textview that shows your amount of money and i would like the ui to update every second to visually show how much money you have in real time. Would i be able to accomplish this with a timer?, and if so what would it look like.

Hello,
You should do inside your class, outside of any method:
Code:
TextView tv;
String calculatedString;
MyAsyncTask mAsync = null;
Timer timer = null;
TimerTask task = null;
private class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
public MyAsyncTask(){
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
//Background operation in a separate thread
//Write here your code to run in the background thread
//calculate here whatever you like
calculatedString = ....;
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
//Called on Main UI Thread. Executed after the Background operation, allows you to have access to the UI
tv.setText(calculatedString);
}
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
//Called on Main UI Thread. Executed before the Background operation, allows you to have access to the UI
}
}
inside the onCreate after super and setContentView:
Code:
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv); //your tv id here
final Handler handler = new Handler();
timer = new Timer();
task = new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
handler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
MyAsyncTask mAsync = new MyAsyncTask();
mAsync.execute();
}
});
}
};
timer.schedule(task, 0, 1000); //Every 1 second
If you still need help, feel free to ask

I have attached 2 screenshots showing the errors i was given after inputting. Any idea how to fix this?

Hello,
For the first image:
You have to import the AsyncTask.
add this
Code:
import android.os.AsyncTask;
with the other imports in your java file.
For your second image:
You haven't wrote the line
Code:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
under your super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); and then the code I said above (I said that on my post )
inside onCreate, where activity_main is your xml layout. And you should have inside that layout, a TextView with an id "tv" (or whatever you like)
and then:
Code:
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv); //your tv id here
R.id.tv must much the id you have in your layout. Replace it with the actual id of your TextView. If your id is "tv", write R.id.tv, if it is "mytv" write R.id.mytv. ( I said that on my post also)
Can you show your layout file? (XML - your activity_main.xml). You said that you have a TextView Where is your TextView?

Ok I fixed the problems stated and now only have these two errors remaining

Have you imported this?
Code:
import java.util.logging.Handler;
If so, change it to
Code:
import android.os.Handler;

Im not at the computer but I think that should solve my issue I will keep you updated

Handler android

Dear People,
I´m working on a app to control my robot with bluetooth.
So i made a thread to handle the bluetooth device, and a handler to read the information in the Gui thread.
(See code below)
The problem is that i´m not able to print the information to the textview in the handler.
When i print somthing to the textview in de onCreate function, everythings works fine, but when i print something to the textview in the handler, nothing happens.
There are also no errors or something like that.
I know that the handler function is called, because the receive messages are printed well in the log.d.
I hope that there is anyone who can help me.
thanks in advance.
