/**
- * Represents a push-button widget. Push-buttons can be
- * pressed, or clicked, by the user to perform an action.
-
- * <p>A typical use of a push-button in an activity would be the following:
- * </p>
+ * A user interface element the user can tap or click to perform an action.
+ *
+ * <p>To display a button in an activity, add a button to the activity's layout XML file:</p>
+ *
+ * <pre>
+ * &lt;Button
+ * android:id="@+id/button_id"
+ * android:layout_height="wrap_content"
+ * android:layout_width="wrap_content"
+ * android:text="@string/self_destruct" /&gt;</pre>
+ *
+ * <p>To specify an action when the button is pressed, set a click
+ * listener on the button object in the corresponding activity code:</p>
*
* <pre>
* public class MyActivity extends Activity {
- * protected void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
- * super.onCreate(icicle);
+ * protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+ * super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
*
* setContentView(R.layout.content_layout_id);
*
* final Button button = findViewById(R.id.button_id);
* button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
* public void onClick(View v) {
- * // Perform action on click
+ * // Code here executes on main thread after user presses button
* }
* });
* }
* }</pre>
*
- * <p>However, instead of applying an {@link android.view.View.OnClickListener OnClickListener} to
- * the button in your activity, you can assign a method to your button in the XML layout,
- * using the {@link android.R.attr#onClick android:onClick} attribute. For example:</p>
- *
- * <pre>
- * &lt;Button
- * android:layout_height="wrap_content"
- * android:layout_width="wrap_content"
- * android:text="@string/self_destruct"
- * android:onClick="selfDestruct" /&gt;</pre>
- *
- * <p>Now, when a user clicks the button, the Android system calls the activity's {@code
- * selfDestruct(View)} method. In order for this to work, the method must be public and accept
- * a {@link android.view.View} as its only parameter. For example:</p>
- *
- * <pre>
- * public void selfDestruct(View view) {
- * // Kabloey
- * }</pre>
- *
- * <p>The {@link android.view.View} passed into the method is a reference to the widget
- * that was clicked.</p>
- *
- * <h3>Button style</h3>
+ * <p>The above snippet creates an instance of {@link View.OnClickListener} and wires
+ * the listener to the button using
+ * {@link #setOnClickListener setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener)}.
+ * As a result, the system executes the code you write in {@code onClick(View)} after the
+ * user presses the button.</p>
*
- * <p>Every Button is styled using the system's default button background, which is often different
- * from one device to another and from one version of the platform to another. If you're not
- * satisfied with the default button style and want to customize it to match the design of your
- * application, then you can replace the button's background image with a <a
- * href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#StateList">state list drawable</a>.
- * A state list drawable is a drawable resource defined in XML that changes its image based on
- * the current state of the button. Once you've defined a state list drawable in XML, you can apply
- * it to your Button with the {@link android.R.attr#background android:background}
- * attribute. For more information and an example, see <a
- * href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#StateList">State List
- * Drawable</a>.</p>
+ * <p class="note">The system executes the code in {@code onClick} on the
+ * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/components/processes-and-threads.html#Threads">main thread</a>.
+ * This means your onClick code must execute quickly to avoid delaying your app's response
+ * to further user actions. See
+ * <a href="{@docRoot}training/articles/perf-anr.html">Keeping Your App Responsive</a>
+ * for more details.</p>
