Keep pressing a button so that a counter keeps adding by 1 every time

Question

I was thinking if there was a simple way to keep pressing the same button so that the counter keeps adding by 1 every time. So that if the button is clicked two times it will ha

Answer 1

Two problems with your code.

1. You reset the counter on each click, it seems
2. You have a single equals in your if statement, which is not a comparison

You can try this instead

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
    implements View.OnClickListener {

        private int counter;

        @Override 
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if (view.getId() == R.id.Spinbtn) { // change to your button id
                counter++;
            } 

            if (counter >= 2) {
               showcalcuation();
            } else {
               // hide calculation? 
            } 
    } 

    ... 
        // in onCreate 
        button.setOnClickListener(this);

First, make this global within your class:

int counter = 0;  

Then implement the button click event:

 final Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Spinbtn);
          button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
               public void onClick(View view) {
                    if(view.getId() == R.id.Spinbtn){
                         if(counter == 2){
                            showcalcuation();
                         }else if(counter < 2){
                            counter += 1;
                         }
                    }
               }
          });
