java - Android: Is it possible to call a method directly from setOnClickListener()? -

i dynamically creating buttons , ideally able have method run if button pressed.

is following possible?

private void somemethod(int id){  //on button pressed id }  private void othermethod(){    for( program element : somelist)   {     addbutton.setonclicklistener(somemethod(element.getid));   } } 

obviously thats mock of code illustrate question. know can instantiate new class seems should able call method although far keep getting errors attempts.

i have had around web can't find answer this, thought ask here.

setonclicklistener defines happen when button clicked. setting multiple times same button meaningless; last 1 set active one.

to call method within listener, declare anonymous class override:

addbutton.setonclicklistener(new onclicklistener() {     @override     public void onclick(view v) {            somemethod(...);         } }); 

if you're trying set multiple buttons similar functionality, need loop through buttons (in list, say), , set each of onclicklisteners. achieve differing variable per button, use view's tag:

for (button b : buttons) {     b.setonclicklistener(new onclicklistener() {         @override         public void onclick(view v) {              somemethod(v.gettag());         }     }); } 

now can set button's tag property in xml (or manually) whatever wish , passed listener (and method).
