How to set multiple tags to a button?

Question

I have 16 buttons and I tag them to pair some terms set to buttons and imported from sqlite database. So, I tag them like this:

// labelForButton and tagForButto         


        

Answer 1

If you need to add multiple tag into one view then you have to define the id for every tag in strings.xml file like:

<item type="id" name="section" />
<item type="id" name="hide_show" />

After adding the key you can use these keys in java file like below:

rowView.setTag(R.id.section,mSectionList.get(position));
rowView.setTag(R.id.hide_show,"close");

This will set the tag. At the time of getting tag you need to typecast the object which originally you set like:

String mSection=(String)rowView.getTag(R.id.section);
String isOpen=(String)rowView.getTag(R.id.hide_show);

Answer 2

You should use the setTag(int key, Object tag) method, which also takes a second parameter key. This will allow you to set multiple tags on each Button like this :

button.setTag(1,object1);
button.setTag(2,object2);

Answer 3

Define the key id in strings.xml and then get it through the id example:

In String.xml declare the following code

<item type="id" name="date" />

<item type="id" name="name" />

now set the tag like following

 share.setTag(R.id.date,it.adjournDate);
 share.setTag(R.id.name,it.partyName);

Share is my button name

Now finally get the tag in button where you want these values listener like this:

v.getTag(R.id.name)
v.getTag(R.id.date)

Answer 4

try :

button.setTag(R.id.resource_id1,obj1);
button.setTag(R.id.resource_id2,obj2);
button.setTag(R.id.resource_id3,obj3);

and to get the tags, use

v.getTag(R.id.resource_id1);
v.getTag(R.id.resource_id2);
v.getTag(R.id.resource_id3);

but, this will return only objects. you need to typecast it.
