Multiple click listeners on buttons

I want to know how to add multiple click events to buttons defined in XML, as previously, in Java, we implemented View.onClickListener interface and did the rest of the work in onClick method.
Example:

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {

switch (v.getId()) {

    case R.id.oneButton:
        // do your code
        break;

    case R.id.twoButton:
        // do your code
        break;

    case R.id.threeButton:
        // do your code
        break;

    default:
        break;
    }

}

I'm making a basic calculator app with the new Kotlin but it seems Kotlin has no such provisions, instead my code looks too long and verbose, as I'm attaching events to all buttons individually.
Can someone tell me how to do the same way in Kotlin? Thanks

you can create anonymous object from an inteface View.ClickListener and pass it to setOnClickListener function

private val clickListener = View.OnClickListener { p0 ->
    when (p0.id) {
        ....
    }
}

... setOnClickListener(clickListener)

Yes, in Kotlin you can do it like this:

view.setOnClickListener(object : View.OnClickListener {
    override fun onClick(v: View?) {
        when(v?.id) {
            R.id.imgBack -> {/* do your code */}
            R.id.twoButton -> {/* do your code */}
            R.id.threeButton -> {/* do your code */}
            else -> {/* do your code */}
        }
    }
}

For multiple onClickListeners in kotlin (version:1.1.60), the following helped me. Hope it'll be useful to someone else too.

Implement OnClickListener to activity like: 

class YourActivity : AppCompatActivity(), View.OnClickListener

set your button in onCreate():

val button = findViewById<Button>(R.id.buttonId)

and assign onclick to the button in onCreate():

button.setOnClickListener { onClick(button) }

and in the override method of onClick() :

 override fun onClick(v: View) {
    when (v.id) {
        R.id.buttonId -> { //your code  }
        ..
        ..
        ..
        else -> { //your code  }
   }
 }

First of all implement OnClickListener in your Activity, like 

class MainActivity : Activity , OnClickListener

then override its implementation like 

func onClick(v:View) {  
   //use when here like
   case R.id.youview -> {
   // do your work on click of view
    }

Don't forgot to set clicklistener on your View. 

  yourView.setOnClickListener(this)

Or for better understanding go step by step -

  1. Implement OnClickListener in your Activity.

  2. Compiler will ask you to implement overrided methods. Implement those.

  3. Copy paste your java code which you wrote inside onClick method, that can be converted by kotlin itself or write down when conditions.

This code worked for me:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    imgBack.setOnClickListener(this)
    twoButton.setOnClickListener(this)
    threeButton.setOnClickListener(this)
}

override fun onClick(view:View) {
    when (view.id) {
        R.id.imgBack -> {
            Toast.makeText(this, "imgBack", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
        R.id.twoButton -> {
            Toast.makeText(this, "twoButton", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
        else -> {}
    }
}

Don't forget implement View.OnClickListener in your class.

Try below like this.

  public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener{

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        Button xyz = (Button) findViewById(R.id.xyz);
        xyz.setOnClickListener(this);
    }
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) { 
    }}

You can try this following code:

class Testing:AppCompatActivity(), View.OnClickListener {
  private val mButton1:Button
  private val mButton2:Button
  protected fun onCreate(savedInstanceState:Bundle) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_testing)
    mButton1 = findViewById(R.id.btn_click) as Button
    mButton2 = findViewById(R.id.btn_click1) as Button
    mButton1.setOnClickListener(this)
    mButton2.setOnClickListener(this)
  }
  fun onClick(view:View) {
    when (view.getId()) {
      R.id.btn_click -> {
        Toast.makeText(this, "button 1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
      }
      R.id.btn_click1 -> {
        Toast.makeText(this, "button 2", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
      }
      else -> {}
    }
  }
}

I hope this is help you.
