Android - Convert Button to TextView at runtime

Is it possible to convert a Button in开发者_运维问答to a TextView onclick during runtime?

Thanks Chris

What you are trying to do is a bad design.

Hide the button and show instead a TextView.

You can define a Layout that hold both TextView and Button. At runtime just set ones setVisibility(Visibility.VISIBLE) and the other setVisibility(Visibility.INVISIBLE)

you can use ViewSwitcher that is very best technique Here just change edittext with button Simple :)

e.g

XML

<ViewSwitcher
            android:id="@+id/my_switcher"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/clickable_text_view"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:clickable="true"
                android:onClick="TextViewClicked"
                android:text="abc"
                android:textColor="@color/white"
                android:textSize="16sp" >
            </TextView>

            <EditText
                android:id="@+id/hidden_edit_view"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:hint="12"
                android:text="12"
                android:textColor="@color/white"
                android:textSize="16sp" >
            </EditText>
        </ViewSwitcher>

JAVA

    ViewSwitcher my_switcher;
my_switcher = (ViewSwitcher) findViewById(R.id.my_switcher);
TextView profile_name = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.clickable_text_view);

profile_name.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
TextViewClicked();
}
        });

TextViewClicked()

public void TextViewClicked() {
        my_switcher.showNext(); //or switcher.showPrevious();
        TextView myTV = (TextView) my_switcher.findViewById(R.id.clickable_text_view);
        myTV.setText("value");
    }

Hope it help
