Mastering Custom View Classes in Android: How to Get and Modify Properties

Creating custom views in Android can seem daunting, especially if you're new to the platform. One common challenge developers face is how to get and modify properties of these custom views effectively. This guide aims to simplify that process, demonstrating how you can interact with your custom class seamlessly.

Understanding the Problem

Let’s break down the scenario. Imagine you have a custom view class named CustomView, and you want to both change its internal value and retrieve that value based on user interaction—specifically by clicking a button in the main activity.

You might start with an implementation like this:

And in your main activity's layout XML, you have an instance of this custom view:

Your goal is to change the value of number from your main activity when a button is clicked, and then display the modified value. Is this possible? The answer is yes! Let’s explore how to achieve this in a structured way.

The Solution: Using Getter and Setter Functions

Step 1: Implementing Getter and Setter

First, you'll need to update your CustomView class to include getter and setter methods for the number property. Here’s how you can do it:

Here, the getNumber() function allows you to retrieve the current value of number, while the setNumber(num: Int) function lets you modify its value.

Step 2: Using the Getter and Setter in Main Activity

Once your custom view has these methods, you can update and retrieve the value from your main activity. For example:
