    Default Android studio | how to make a button text unchangable after changing it once

    suppose
    button1.setonclicklistener(){
    button1.settext( "Awaiting")
    }
    is what I assigned first
    then I assigned it to
    button1.setonclicklisterner(){
    button1.settext("player1 won")}
    Now in my code I want this to be set permanently
    as I am using it to make a tic tac toe game changes the button1.settext after every press
    any idea how to make the text permanent?

    Whatever you are, be a good one

    One way would be to have a variable that says if the target variable can be changed:
      if(canChange) {  // test if allowed to make the change
          //  make the change to the target variable
          canChange = false;    // set so that future execution will not make a change
     }
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    The easiest way would be to disable the button. It will then change the textual appearance to indicate it has been disabled.
    JButton b = myButton("X");
    b.setEnabled(false);

    Does disabling an Android button prevent its text being changed? It doesn't in Swing.

    I may have misunderstood the question. I thought the OP didn't want to be able to press the button again, once it has been changed.

    If the button only changes itself, then disabling it would keep it from doing that. So your solution would work.
