I have an ImageButton that I initialized in my OnCreate() function, and I also want to use it in a separate function, when my spinner is activated, but I can't access the imagebutton that has been initalized.
Can I just initalize the image button again in the OnSpinnerSelection() function or is that bad practice?
Thanks!
A better way to do would be to initialize the ImageButton outside the onCreate method. Then, it becomes a global variable and can be used in any method.
Like this :
ImageButton im;
@Override
protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// set content view
im = (ImageButton)findViewbyId(R.id.<id>);
// other code
}
