# markups #### Introduction In this lesson we will learn how to ***make buttons*** in the keyboard area If you didn't open the [previous lesson](/telegram-bot-tutorial/lessonsmd-3/sendmessages.md), don't forget to make a `Bot` class with a `token` and `name` of the bot, as well as connect libraries. #### Process The main function remains unchanged, so just copy it. ```java public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating a bot TelegramBotsApi telegramBotsApi; try { telegramBotsApi = new TelegramBotsApi(DefaultBotSession.class); // Registration of our bot // new Handler() is our class, so there is no need to import the proposed library telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new HandlerToLessonTwo()); } catch (TelegramApiException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } ``` Then we'll move on to the `HandlerToLessonTwo` class. > The initial parameters that we did in the last lesson ```java public class HandlerToLessonTwo extends TelegramLongPollingBot { @Override public String getBotUsername() { return Bot.USERNAME; } @Override public String getBotToken() { return Bot.TOKEN; } @Override public void onUpdateReceived(Update update) { } } ``` Next, let's *Override* `onUpdateReceived` method > To begin with, let's create the buttons themselves using ReplyKeyboardMarkup class ```java public class HandlerToLessonTwo extends TelegramLongPollingBot { @Override public void onUpdateReceived(Update update) { if (update.hasMessage() && update.getMessage().hasText()) { // Initialization Keyboard Markup ReplyKeyboardMarkup keyboardMarkup = new ReplyKeyboardMarkup(); // Create the keyboard (list of keyboard rows) List keyboard = new ArrayList<>(); // Create a keyboard row KeyboardRow row = new KeyboardRow(); // Set button, Row 1 Button 1 row.add("want cute message"); // Set button, Row 1 Button 2 row.add("want picture"); // Add the first row to the keyboard keyboard.add(row); // Create another keyboard row row = new KeyboardRow(); // Set button, Row 2 Button 1 row.add("want a song"); // Add the second row to the keyboard keyboard.add(row); // Then you can add the number of buttons you need by analogy // Set keyboards to the markup keyboardMarkup.setKeyboard(keyboard); keyboardMarkup.setResizeKeyboard(true); } } } ``` Next, we will add processing of commands entered using the buttons > Do not forget that when sending a message, it must have chat id and text ```java public class HandlerToLessonTwo extends TelegramLongPollingBot { @Override public void onUpdateReceived(Update update) { if (update.hasMessage() && update.getMessage().hasText()){ // Previous methods // Initialization received message String message_text = update.getMessage().getText(); // Initialization sendMessage SendMessage message = new SendMessage(); // In advance set chat id to sendMessage message.setChatId(update.getMessage().getChatId().toString()); switch(message_text) { case "/start" -> { message.setReplyMarkup(keyboardMarkup); message.setChatId(update.getMessage().getChatId().toString()); } case "want picture" -> message.setText("It`s working!"); // The following commands are added by analogy default -> { message.setReplyToMessageId(update.getMessage().getMessageId()); message.setText("no such command"); } } } } } ``` After that, the addition and operation of the buttons is completely done, you should have the following code: > You can add the number of buttons you need by analogy ```java public class HandlerToLessonTwo extends TelegramLongPollingBot { @Override public String getBotUsername() { return Bot.USERNAME; } @Override public String getBotToken() { return Bot.TOKEN; } @Override public void onUpdateReceived(Update update) { if (update.hasMessage() && update.getMessage().hasText()){ // Initialization Keyboard Markup ReplyKeyboardMarkup keyboardMarkup = new ReplyKeyboardMarkup(); // Create the keyboard (list of keyboard rows) List keyboard = new ArrayList<>(); // Create a keyboard row KeyboardRow row = new KeyboardRow(); // Set button, Row 1 Button 1 row.add("want cute message"); // Set button, Row 1 Button 2 row.add("want picture"); // Add the first row to the keyboard keyboard.add(row); // Create another keyboard row row = new KeyboardRow(); // Set button, Row 2 Button 1 row.add("want a song"); // Add the second row to the keyboard keyboard.add(row); // Set keyboard to the markup keyboardMarkup.setKeyboard(keyboard); keyboardMarkup.setResizeKeyboard(true); // Initialization received message String message_text = update.getMessage().getText(); // Initialization sendMessage SendMessage message = new SendMessage(); // In advance set chat id to sendMessage message.setChatId(update.getMessage().getChatId().toString()); switch(message_text) { case "/start" -> { message.setReplyMarkup(keyboardMarkup); message.setChatId(update.getMessage().getChatId().toString()); } case "want picture" -> message.setText("It`s working!"); // The following commands are added by analogy default -> { message.setReplyToMessageId(update.getMessage().getMessageId()); message.setText("no such command"); } } try { execute(message); // Sending message } catch (TelegramApiException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } } ``` The pictures show the result of executing this code: > Buttons instead of a keyboard ![Show Work](/files/Zd3V7OtTxNI2DLcMCzGX) > Sending a command with the help of buttons ![Show Work](/files/WTBwfuKnxcTkVmmrUMOG) Back to [Lesson 1](/telegram-bot-tutorial/lessonsmd-3/sendmessages.md) of sending messages to user\ Go to [Lesson 3](/telegram-bot-tutorial/lessonsmd-5/sendphoto.md) of sending photos to user from local directory --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
