I have a button that I want to limit the pressing off up to 3 times a week.

How can I track this and make sure that once it reaches its maximum no button press will happen?

Heres my basic code for the button click and count.

int count = 0;
limit_ButtonPress()

Button btn = findViewById(R.id.comp)
btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener){
 (View v)
 count++

private void limit_ButtonPress(){
 if(count> 0 && count< 5)
 btn.setVisabilty(View.Invisable)
 

how can I now limit the 3 presses per week? Thanks, guys

have a look at this

you want that button can only be clicked thrice a week not more than that.
so have such type of firebase database structure :

"root/" : 
 "users" : 
 "user_01" : 
 //some profile data about the user like name email etc.
 "data" : "val"
 //this is important
 "signUpTime" : 1563245126 //this is the timestamp of when the user signed up
 ,
 ...
 
 "activity" : 
 "user_01" : 
 random_id_01 : 
 "clickTime" : 156845164 //timestamp of click
 ,
 ...
 
 

now its responsibility to define reading and writing access to the database for users.

now comes the java/android part

private void initUI()
 DatabaseReference databaseReference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("activity").child(FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid());
 Query query = databaseReference.orderByChild("clickTime").limitToLast(3);
 query.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() 
 @Override
 public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) 
 if(dataSnapshot.exists())
 //now count the children in dataSnapshot
 int totalChildren = (int) dataSnapshot.getChildrenCount();
 if(totalChildren > 2)
 //now check for this person properly
 int milliSecInAWeek = 7*24*60*60*1000; //perhaps i m right ;)
 //now check if the last of the three click was within this week 
 for(DataSnapshot snapshot : dataSnapshot.getChildren())
 //well this is actully a loop kind of thing
 //but we are just conserned about the first most click so we will call return just on the first child itteration :)
 UserActivity userActivity = snapshot.getValue(UserActivity.class);

 if(userActivity.getClickTime() - System.currentTimeMillis() < milliSecInAWeek)
 //this person has clicked thrre times in this week disable the button buddy ;)
 else
 //this person has got chance(s) to click. let the button be enables :) 
 
 return;
 
 else
 //this user has clicked less then 3 times so the let the button be clickable for the user
 
 else
 //there is no activity by this user let the button be clickable
 
 

 @Override
 public void onCancelled(@NonNull DatabaseError databaseError) 

 
 );


private class UserActivity

 private float clickTime;

 public UserActivity() 

 

 public UserActivity(float clickTime) 
 this.clickTime = clickTime;
 

 public float getClickTime() 
 return clickTime;
 

 public void setClickTime(float clickTime) 
 this.clickTime = clickTime;
 

hope it helps you and if does just accept the answer it ll help me a bit :)

happy coding !!!
