Changing Button Text After Adding Data to RoomDatabase in Android

Creating an engaging user interface in your Android application involves updating UI elements based on user interactions. One common requirement is to change the button text after a successful database operation. In this guide, we'll explore how to change the button text to "Dislike" after adding a sandwich to a RoomDatabase, and how to preserve that state when navigating between activities.

Understanding the Problem

Let’s consider a scenario where you have a button that allows users to "like" a sandwich by adding it to a database. The intention is to change the button's text from "Like" to "Dislike" once the sandwich has been added to the RoomDatabase. However, you notice that when your activity is recreated (for example, when the user navigates away and comes back), the button text resets back to "Like".

To solve this, you need a mechanism that remembers the button's state, so it remains "Dislike" if the user has already liked the sandwich, even after exiting the activity.

Solution Overview

To manage the button state effectively, we can follow these steps:

Use SharedPreferences to store the button state.

Check the SharedPreferences value in onCreate to set the button text accordingly.

Update the button text after the data has been added to the RoomDatabase.

Step 1: Store Button State Using SharedPreferences

In your existing code, you're already using SharedPreferences to store the button's state whenever the button is clicked. Ensure that you properly save the state after each button action:

Step 2: Retrieve the State in onCreate

In the onCreate method, you can retrieve the saved button state from SharedPreferences and update the button's text accordingly:

This allows the button text to persist based on previous interactions even after navigating away from the activity.

Step 3: Update Button Text after RoomDatabase Operation

In your method for adding the sandwich to the database, follow this logic to change the button text after the operation:

Conclusion

By leveraging SharedPreferences, you can maintain the state of your button text even after activity recreation. This approach enhances user experience by providing a consistent interface behavior across navigation. Implementing these changes ensures that users see the correct button state based on their previous interactions with your application.

Now you have the tools to manage your button text dynamically in an Android application using RoomDatabase! Happy coding!
