Ok i am developing a cows and bulls game, i am confused how to print messages to the user, i dont want to use dialogs or toasts! As far as i know, the only way is to update textviews , is that the only other option? or can i use something else to display stuff on the screen? my code till now :
public class Play extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.play);
CowsNBulls();
}
private void CowsNBulls() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int target=0;
final String targetStr = target +"";
boolean guessed= false;
final int guess;
final String Sguess;
System.out.print("Guess a 4-digit number with no duplicate digits");
EditText guess1 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.etGuess);
Sguess=guess1.getText().toString();
Button ent = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bEnter);
guess= Integer.parseInt(Sguess);
ent.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
int guesses=0;
int bulls=0;
int cows=0;
if(hasDupes(guess)||guess < 1000){
guesses++;
String guessStr = guess + "";
for(int i= 0;i < 4;i++){
if(guessStr.charAt(i) == targetStr.charAt(i)){
bulls++;
}else if(targetStr.contains(guessStr.charAt(i)+"")){
cows++;
}}}}});
any ideas?
TextView or EditText will be your only possibility. You'd have to attach it to the Layout and maybe even wrap it in a ScrollView to make room for enough statements.
