How do you switch from 1 button to another in Android?

Question

Hey all, so I have a start and a stop button. What I would like to happen is once the start button is clicked, it disappears and the stop button shows up right in the spot of the start button so that the stop button is able to be clicked. Is this done by switch statements?

//Start Button btnstart.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { ... } }); //Stop Button btnstop.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { ... } } });

@Mayra what are you talking about? This is definitely for android eclipse — MJ93

Eclipse is a text editor. It does not in any way affect the running the Android code. You could write the code in NotePad, compile it on the command line and it would do the same thing. — Cheryl Simon

Try setVisibility with the two buttons adjacent in your layout:

//Start Button btnstart.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { btnstart.setVisibility(View.GONE); btnstop.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } }); //Stop Button btnstop.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { btnstop.setVisibility(View.GONE); btnstart.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); } } });

thanks, it worked just the way i wanted it to. can't believe i didnt think of that
