Using Viewflipper With Onclick To Switch Views

I'm using ViewFLipper with Random.nextInt(). to change layouts onClick (Button). Now I have 3 xml layouts. 1_view.xml 2_view.xml 3_view.xml. Starting from 1_view.xml I have a butto

Solution 1:

You can do this in your code:

RandomRandomView=newRandom();
 intnextViewIndex= RandomView.nextInt(3);
 while (nextViewIndex == MyViewFlipper.getDisplayedChild()) {
     nextViewIndex = RandomView.nextInt(3);
 }
 MyViewFlipper.setDisplayedChild(nextViewIndex);

Basically just call Random.nextInt() until it doesn't match current viewFlipper's index.

To only show a viewFlipper once randomly:

// Intialize this once
List<Integer> vfIndices = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < MyViewFlipper.getChildCount(); i++) {
   vfIndices.add(i);
}

// when button is clickedif (vfIndices.size() == 0) {
   return; // no more view flipper to show!
}
int viewIndex = RandomView.nextInt(vfIndices.size());
MyViewFlipper.setDisplayedChild(vfIndices.get(viewIndex));
vfIndicies.remove(viewIndex);

The idea is use an ArrayList to keep track of the viewFlipper index that has not been shown. When button is clicked, pick an index randomly from this array and set the viewFlipper to. Then remove that index from the ArrayList. Next time the button is clicked, it will show one of the remaining flippers.
