Start new activity from onClickListener <p>I have an EditText area that is not showing due to the keyboard covering it when the focus is on the EditText area. What I want to do is use a button to call an activity that will display a editable text area that overlays the main display and returns the value to the main activity which stores it in a separate class variable. </p> <p>I added the activity to the main manifest xml. </p> <p>I added an onClickListener to a button. </p> <p>Here is some code:</p> <p>TextEntryActivity class:</p> <pre><code>public class TextEntryActivity extends Activity{ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.text_entry); EditText edit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editable); getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND); } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>I have a separate XML file for the layout of the blurr.</p> <p>Originally I had an onClickListerner for an onSave button that stored all the info:</p> <pre><code> private View.OnClickListener onSave = new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { Log.d(DEB_TAG, "INSIDE ONCLICK"); mCurrent = new Restaurant(); mCurrent.setName(mName.getText().toString()); mCurrent.setAddr(mAddr.getText().toString()); mCurrent.setDate(mDateDisplay.getText().toString()); mCurrent.setNotes(mNotes.getText().toString()); switch (mTypes.getCheckedRadioButtonId()){ case R.id.fast_food: mCurrent.setType("fast_food"); break;......... </code></pre> <p>The new activity is to provide a different view to add a "note"</p> <p>Does this make sense? I am fairly new to this and know what I want to do in my head, but describing it can be a challenge.</p>
