First, get a reference for the TextView and set its text to the question at the current index.


Listing 2.7  Wiring up the TextView (QuizActivity.java)


public class QuizActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
...
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_quiz);


mQuestionTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.question_text_view);
int question = mQuestionBank[mCurrentIndex].getTextResId();
mQuestionTextView.setText(question);


mTrueButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.true_button);
...
}
}


Save your files and check for any errors. Then run GeoQuiz. You should see the first question in the
array appear in the TextView.


Now let’s see about the NEXT button. First, get a reference to the button. Then set a
View.OnClickListener on it. This listener will increment the index and update the TextView’s text.


Listing 2.8  Wiring up the new button (QuizActivity.java)


public class QuizActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
...
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
mFalseButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
...
}
});


mNextButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.next_button);
mNextButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mCurrentIndex = (mCurrentIndex + 1) % mQuestionBank.length;
int question = mQuestionBank[mCurrentIndex].getTextResId();
mQuestionTextView.setText(question);
}
});
}
}
