Quote:Hey guys I have been trying to figure this out and have looked over a number of questions here but can't seem to find the answer to my problem. I am making an app that displays dinners at random from an array. I would like these dinners to be clickable and take the user to a web page but I have no idea how to make that happen so at the moment I have just added the link below the dinner which looks pretty ugly.

Code

public class CookBook {
    public String[] mfood =
      {
      "Chicago Deep Dish Pizza",
      "Spaghetti Bolognese",
      "Bourbon Chicken",
      };
    public String[] mLinks =
      {
      "http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/28896/chicago+deep+dish+pizza?ref=collections,pizza-recipes",
      "http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1502640/the-best-spaghetti-bolognese",
      "http://www.food.com/recipe/bourbon-chicken-45809",
      };

    public int getRandomFoodIndex() {
      //Randomly select a dinner
      Random randomGenerator = new Random();  //Construct a new Random number generator
      int randomNumber = randomGenerator.nextInt(mfood.length);
      //Convert random number to text

      return randomNumber;
    }

    public String getFood(int index) {
      return mfood[index];
    }

    public String getLink(int index) {
      return mLink[index];
    }

}

and then

Code

public class DinnerTimeActivity extends Activity {

    private CookBook mCookBook = new CookBook();
    private ColourWheel mColourWheel = new ColourWheel();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_dinner_time);

      final TextView dinnerLabel = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.DinnerTextView);
      final Button showDinnerButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.showDinnerButton);
      final RelativeLayout relativelayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.relativeLayout);

      View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
      @Override
      public void onClick(View view) {
      int index = mCookBook.getRandomFoodIndex();
      String food = mCookBook.getFood(index);
      String link = mCookBook.getLink(index);
      //Update the label with the dinner
      dinnerLabel.setText(food);

      /** open link with the link variable */

      int colour = mColourWheel.getColour();
      relativelayout.setBackgroundColor(colour);
      showDinnerButton.setTextColor(colour);
      }
      };
      showDinnerButton.setOnClickListener(listener);

    }
}
