onClick for buttons on custom CardView

Question

I have a custom CardView that contains a Button, a RadioButton and some Text. I have several of these card placed in a GridLayout. My goal is that each button will play a different sound that will be assigned to it. Is there a way to create one onClick method, that will change the sound played based on which button is clicked? Or do I have to assign a new onClick for each button?

Here is my activity_main.xml

        mAdView = findViewById(R.id.adView);
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
        mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);


    }


    public void playSound(View view) {

    }

}

Answer 1

As of the current implementation, you'll need to implement onClick for each include button in the grid layout.

Try implementing a recycler view with the grid layout manager, and work with their positions. Work with their positions(store them in a list, or hashmap along with the sound name that you need to play), and onItemClick check the id and play the sound required for the button using an interface.

Other implementation may include creating a custom view class using the custom_card.xml, and making your own functions inside the view class to work with each button id and song ids.
