Start new activity from onClickListener
<p>I have an EditText area that is not showing due to the keyboard covering it when the focus is on the EditText area.  What I want to do is use a button to call an activity that will display a editable text area that overlays the main display and returns the value to the main activity which stores it in a separate class variable.  </p>

<p>I added the activity to the main manifest xml. </p>

<p>I added an onClickListener to a button. </p>

<p>Here is some code:</p>

<p>TextEntryActivity class:</p>

<pre><code>public class TextEntryActivity extends Activity{
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.text_entry);

    EditText edit = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editable);
    getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND,  
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_BLUR_BEHIND);

}
</code></pre>

<p>}</p>

<p>I have a separate XML file for the layout of the blurr.</p>

<p>Originally I had an onClickListerner for an onSave button that stored all the info:</p>

<pre><code> private View.OnClickListener onSave = new View.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Log.d(DEB_TAG, "INSIDE ONCLICK");
        mCurrent = new Restaurant();

        mCurrent.setName(mName.getText().toString());
        mCurrent.setAddr(mAddr.getText().toString());
        mCurrent.setDate(mDateDisplay.getText().toString());
        mCurrent.setNotes(mNotes.getText().toString());

        switch (mTypes.getCheckedRadioButtonId()){
            case R.id.fast_food:
                mCurrent.setType("fast_food");
                break;.........
</code></pre>

<p>The new activity is to provide a different view to add a "note"</p>

<p>Does this make sense?  I am fairly new to this and know what I want to do in my head, but describing it can be a challenge.</p>
