I was doing this program and tried to run an app as an output. However, when I turned the app in Landscape mode, my text output didn't work. I realized that I need to add onSaveInstanceState
in the Kotlin code, which I don't know how to do.
MainActivity.kt:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
var count = 10
val textCount = findViewById<View>(R.id.textView) as TextView
val buttonred = findViewById<View>(R.id.injury) as Button
val buttoning = findViewById<View>(R.id.vial) as Button
buttonred.setOnClickListener {
if (count >= 0) {
count--
textCount.text = count.toString()
}
}
buttoning.setOnClickListener {
if (count <= 10)
count += 3
textCount.text = count.toString()
}
}
}
XML Code
LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:id="@+id/vial"
android:layout_width="197dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginHorizontal="109dp"
android:text="vial" />
</LinearLayout>
I would like to know how to add the onSaveInstanceState
Here is the full code, You didn't add many details but this is how the sample project looks, it enables to save count
and then set it to TextView
:
MainActivity.kt
:
import android.os.Bundle
import android.util.Log
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
companion object {
const val COUNT_KEY = "COUNT_KEY" // const key to save/read value from bundle
}
private var count = 0 // count value with setter. It will be easier, You can change this value and don't have to think about setting TextView.text
set(value) {
field = value
txtCount.text = value.toString()
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
Log.i("MyTag", "onCreate")
txtCount.text = count.toString()
butIncrement.setOnClickListener {
count++
}
}
override fun onSaveInstanceState(outState: Bundle) { // Here You have to save count value
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState)
Log.i("MyTag", "onSaveInstanceState")
outState.putInt(COUNT_KEY, count)
}
override fun onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState: Bundle) { // Here You have to restore count value
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState)
Log.i("MyTag", "onRestoreInstanceState")
count = savedInstanceState.getInt(COUNT_KEY)
}
}
activity_main.xml
:
<androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:id="@+id/butIncrement"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Increment" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/txtCount"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="40sp" />
</androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat>
You edited the question and added more details, here is the full Kotlin code, I tested it and it seems to work.
import android.os.Bundle
import android.util.Log
import android.view.View
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.TextView
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
lateinit var textCount: TextView
lateinit var buttonred: Button
lateinit var buttoning: Button
companion object {
const val COUNT_KEY = "COUNT_KEY"
}
private var count = 0
set(value) {
field = value
textCount.text = value.toString()
}
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
Log.i("MyTag", "onCreate")
textCount = findViewById<View>(R.id.textView) as TextView
buttonred = findViewById<View>(R.id.injury) as Button
buttoning = findViewById<View>(R.id.vial) as Button
count = 10
buttonred.setOnClickListener {
if (count >= 0) {
count--
textCount.text = count.toString()
}
}
buttoning.setOnClickListener {
if (count <= 10)
count += 3
textCount.text = count.toString()
}
}
override fun onSaveInstanceState(outState: Bundle) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState)
Log.i("MyTag", "onSaveInstanceState")
outState.putInt(COUNT_KEY, count)
}
override fun onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState: Bundle) {
super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState)
Log.i("MyTag", "onRestoreInstanceState")
count = savedInstanceState.getInt(COUNT_KEY)
}
}
To Your Gradle (module.app) file add:
dependencies {
def lifecycle_version = "2.2.0"
// ViewModel
implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:$lifecycle_version"
// LiveData
implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata-ktx:$lifecycle_version"
}
MainActivityViewModel class:

internal class MainActivityViewModel : ViewModel() {
private val _count: MutableLiveData<Int> = MutableLiveData()
val count: LiveData<Int>
get() = _count
init {
_count.value = START_VALUE
}
fun increment() {
_count.value = _count.value!! + 1
}
fun decrement() {
_count.value = _count.value!! - 1
}
companion object {
private const val START_VALUE = 10
}
}

viewModel.count.observe(this, {
