android mobile app development grimoire 29g8km

1 android studio
2 JDK
3A in android studio - virtual mobile machine :
tool strip, tools, AVD manager, in the now appeared window : +create device, select devices with
the google play store symbol, next, select version : oreo (download), wait... wait, wait some more

3B tool strip, tools, SDK manager, SDK platforms tab : those are the SDKs your app will support
choose : 4.3 and above: corresponding to API lvl : 15,18,25,27 those are the criticle ones.

3c choose the SDK tools tab, check the : sdk build tools, android emulator, android sdk platform tools,
android sdk tools, google play servicesgoogle play APK, google play licencing library, instant apps deployment SDK
intel x86 emulator

3d : click apply, wait.
4 alternative to VM : GenyMotion
it simulates physical devices as if they are actually connected to your machine.
so when you run the app it will show on connected devices.
https://www.genymotion.com/download/
choose the installation with VirtualBox
5 install Vysor to cast your android screen on to the computer
7 enable developer mode & USB debugging mode on your phone :
open your mobil device for developing search the walkthrough for your phone.
mostly it is : all apps, settings, build number, click build number 7 times, rego to
settings, developer options, enable debugging and usb debugging.

on android studio, tool strip, file, settings, appearance (for IDE visual customization)

8 enable virtual devices :
windows key + R
type msinfo32
search the field with hyper v virtualization, this must be enabled Fix VT-x is disabled in BIOS :

press and hold shift key and restart your computer
choose trouble shoot, advanced options, UEFI firmware options, restart.
choose bios settings, go to advanced tab, enable virtualization technology, exit with save changes.

9 with android studio some of the files it downloads need to be installed externally.
install : intelhaxm-android from : "C:\Users\Lenovo\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager"
Lenovo = comuter name
(HAXM). now the emulator should work.

android studio hello worldTue May 08, 2018 8:15 pm

android mobile app development grimoire 29vm0q

if you leave the project name as the default exercise it will not be uploadable to the google play store.

in the solution explorer window :
app :
java : where your activity code
res : layout : the activities xml files (how the app windows look (widgets))

the xml can be manipulated by drag droping in the design tab or with the text tab :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <Button
        android:onClick="TestHelloWorld"
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:layout_marginStart="63dp"
        android:text="Button" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="81dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="textPersonName" />

</RelativeLayout>

notice you need to change the 2nd line to RelativeLayout as you see above and
it automatically changes the corresponding closing tag.
also notive I added a btn and a textbox.

when you add in the btn the line :
android:onClick="TestHelloWorld"
it offers you to generate onClick event code in the X activity (main activity here)
in the java folder, 1st folder main activity make the code :

Code:

package com.example.lenovo.myapplication1;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    EditText t1;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "moti", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        t1 = findViewById(R.id.editText); // links var to textbox
    }
// btn click event :
    public void TestHelloWorld(View view) {
        String str1 = t1.getText().toString();
        Toast.makeText(this,"moti rulz " + str1,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

run the code.

in the next code I harness the button and make its text display it's click count :

Code:

package com.example.lenovo.myapplication1;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    EditText t1;
    Button btn1;
    int c =0;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "moti", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        t1 = findViewById(R.id.editText);
        btn1 = findViewById(R.id.button); // btn name id = button
    }

    public void TestHelloWorld(View view) {
        String str1 = t1.getText().toString();
        Toast.makeText(this,"moti rulz " + str1,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        c++;
        String sTemp = c + "";
        btn1.setText(sTemp);
    }
}

sometimes the IDE will mark some code with red as an error cause it needs to import stuff or what ever
so press alt + enter to fix it.

to create classes right click the solution explorer window, new, java class
press alt + insert to add setters getters and constructores :geek:

controllers (activeX)Sun May 13, 2018 6:27 pm

the following app builds a toast message using radio group buttons +
pile of check boxes.
the cassier will select his problem (radio)
the cassier will select person to summon (check box)
a message is built accordingly
the controllers (radio group, check boxes are reset)

change the apps background picture using codeMon May 14, 2018 7:08 am

android mobile app development grimoire 2a7xc3

xml design code (activity_main.xml):

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    android:id="@+id/mainActivityLayout"
    >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

notice in the above code I named the layout :
android:id="@+id/mainActivityLayout"
and the 1st line was changed to : <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

main activity code (mainActivity.java):

Code:

package com.example.lenovo.screenbg;

import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    RelativeLayout r1;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        r1 = findViewById(R.id.mainActivityLayout);
        r1.setBackgroundDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this,R.drawable.aoitori));
    }
}

finally the aoitori.jpg picture was added to the res, drawable in the solution explorer window

contact java class :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.contacts;

import android.support.annotation.DrawableRes;

public class Contact {

    private String name;
    private String phone;
    // Will limit the image variable to get only R.drawable.something as int value

android studio xml techniques and matrix style linear layout with green text colorMon May 21, 2018 3:48 am

xml beefup :

linear layouts :

Code:

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!1"
        android:id="@+id/lbl1"
        />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!2"
        android:id="@+id/lbl2"
        android:layout_gravity="left"
        />
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!3"
        android:id="@+id/lbl3"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        />

</LinearLayout>

LinearLayout : makes the controllers align in theire declaired sequence.
android:gravity="center" sets the controller on the middle

android:layout_gravity="right" declared in the controller effects only that controller

wrapping a controller group in a layout :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!1"
        android:id="@+id/lbl1"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:orientation="horizontal">
        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="btn1"/>
        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="btn2"/>
        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="btn3"/>

    </LinearLayout>
    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="btn4"
        android:layout_gravity="right"/>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="right"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="btn5"/>
        <Button
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="btn6"/>

    </LinearLayout>


</LinearLayout>

Relative Layouts :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!1"
        android:id="@+id/lbl1"/>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!2"
        android:id="@+id/lbl2"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"/>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!3"
        android:id="@+id/lbl3"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@id/lbl2"
        android:layout_toEndOf="@id/lbl2" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!5"
        android:id="@+id/lbl5"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!6"
        android:id="@+id/lbl6"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:textColor="#a5000000"
        />

</RelativeLayout>

android:layout_centerInParent="true" sets controller in the middle

android:layout_toRightOf="@id/lbl2"
android:layout_toEndOf="@id/lbl2"
sets controller as said

android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
sets controller to the left and vrtically in the middle (height)

android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
like the previous but to the right

setting Linear layout image + text color to matrix style
add the matrix3 background to the drawable folder in the res folder

xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:id="@+id/mainActivityLayout"
    >

    <EditText

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Hello World!"
        android:textColor="#037117"
        android:hint="matrix style"
        />


</LinearLayout>

        r1.setBackgroundDrawable(ContextCompat.getDrawable(this,R.drawable.matrix3));
        // alt + enter was clicked
    }
}

if any red text errors in code click on them + alt + enter

creating and summoning activitiesMon May 21, 2018 4:54 am

create two activities with buttons

in solution explorer window right click layout folder in res folder, new, activity, empty activity

main activity xml:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="First Activity"
        android:id="@+id/lblFirst"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:textSize="25dp"/>

    <EditText

        intent.putExtra("firstContent", txtCbFirstContent.getText().toString());

        startActivity(intent);

        finish();
    }
}

2nd activity code :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.myapplication;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class activityX extends AppCompatActivity {

    EditText txtCbSecondContent;
    TextView lblCbSecond;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_x);
        txtCbSecondContent = findViewById(R.id.txtSecondContent);
        lblCbSecond = findViewById(R.id.lblSecond);
        Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();

        lblCbSecond.setText(bundle.getString("firstContent", "No Content Found"));

    }

    public void intentSecondToFirst(View view) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(activityX.this, MainActivity.class);
        intent.putExtra("secondContent", txtCbSecondContent.getText().toString());

        startActivity(intent);

    }
}

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, activityX.class);
intent.putExtra("firstContent", txtCbFirstContent.getText().toString());

puts data from this activity in a bundle which is summonable from the summoned activity at :
startActivity(intent);

finish(); kills the activity.

Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();

lblCbSecond.setText(bundle.getString("firstContent", "No Content Found"));

gets the data from the summoning activity (it is a dictionary : data key = "firstContent", value = txtCbFirstContent.getText().toString())
if no data is found the default data would be : "No Content Found"

now add a button to link to the summoning of a different activity from each activity.

        mediaPlayer.setLooping(false);
        mediaPlayer.start();

}

in the manifest folder in the AndroidManifest.xml add :

Code:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
under
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="project name">

so it looks about like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.justforum.yotamarker.mp3project">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

the above manifest gives the app permission to DL files in this case pokemon mp3.

android studio using fragmentsSun May 27, 2018 8:53 pm

android studio using fragments.
controlling views on fragments from other fragments.

to create a fragment right click the layout folder in the solution explorer, new, fragment.
this will add the fragment xml and java code.

fragment bg color xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".BgColorFragment">
<ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/xyz"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher_background"
    />

</FrameLayout>

bg color fragment java :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.fragment;

import android.content.Context;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ImageView;


public class BgColorFragment extends Fragment {

    // this is a simple empty fragment without any controlls and attached to its xml file
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // Inflate the layout for this fragment
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_bg_color, container, false);
//        ImageView imageView =  view.findViewById(R.id.xyz);
//        imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ogre);
        return view;
    }

}

color list fragment xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".ColorListFragment"
    >

    <ListView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/listColors"/>

</FrameLayout>

color list fragment java :

        View view =  inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_color_list, container, false);
        // color list declared final because it uses a listener
        final String[] colors = {"Red", "Green", "Blue", "Black", "White", "Gray", "Magenta", "Yellow",
                "Light Gray", "Dark Gray", "Light Grey", "Dark Grey", "Olive",
                "Teal", "Silver", "Purple", "Cyan", "Aqua", "Fuchsia", "Lime", "Maroon", "Navy"};

        // on fragment controller
        listCbColors = view.findViewById(R.id.listColors);
        // list view adapter
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter =
                new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, colors);
        listCbColors.setAdapter(adapter);
        // list view click event :
        listCbColors.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                // link to another fragment :
                BgColorFragment bgColorFragment = (BgColorFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.bgColorFragments);
                // set linked fragment bg attribute
                setBgColor(bgColorFragment, colors[position].toLowerCase().replace(" ", ""));
                // code block to add controller to fragment programmatically (text box):
                FrameLayout frameLayout = bgColorFragment.getView().findViewById(R.id.bgColorFragments);
                TextView lblColor = new TextView(bgColorFragment.getContext());
                lblColor.setText(colors[position]);
                lblColor.setTextSize(20);
                // reset fragment to the way it is in its xml

                frameLayout.removeAllViews();
                frameLayout.addView(lblColor);
// manipulate a controller on the other fragment this does not work with the code line frameLayout.removeAllViews(); above
                // which kills the image controller image view and all other views for that matter
                //                ImageView iv1 = (ImageView)bgColorFragment.getView().findViewById(R.id.xyz);
//                iv1.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground);





            }
        });


        return view;
    }

    public void setBgColor(Fragment fragment, String color){
        fragment.getView().setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor(color));
    }

}

main activity xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"

        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="0.5"
        android:id="@+id/listColorFragments"

        android:name="com.justforum.yotamarker.fragment.ColorListFragment"/>
    <fragment
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="0.5"
        android:id="@+id/bgColorFragments"
        tools:layout="@layout/fragment_bg_color"
        android:name="com.justforum.yotamarker.fragment.BgColorFragment"/>

</LinearLayout>

main activity java (default):

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.fragment;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

notice the image view on bgcolor fragment is only for showing how to change its image from
the color list fragment

the code is commented out :
// manipulate a controller on the other fragment this does not work with the code line frameLayout.removeAllViews(); above
// which kills the image controller image view and all other views for that matter
// ImageView iv1 = (ImageView)bgColorFragment.getView().findViewById(R.id.xyz);
// iv1.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground);

if you comment it comment :
frameLayout.removeAllViews();
or it will glitch

android studio pager widgetMon May 28, 2018 11:00 pm

android mobile app development grimoire 2b5xhp

the android grimoir pager using app :

in gradle scripts, build.gradle(module: app)

add :
// Design Package for TabLayout And ViewPager
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'

in dependencies (txt) above testImplementation. than clicked the popped up sync now.

now the project can use pagers

main activity layout :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#ffba18"
        android:id="@+id/tabLayout"/>

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@id/tabLayout"
        android:id="@+id/viewPager"/>

</RelativeLayout>

right click layout folder in res folder in solution explorer : new, resource file.
name: fragment_layout
root element : relative layout

xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <WebView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/webView"/>

</FrameLayout>

in tool strib, build rebuild

right click java folder, new, java class
call it url1fragment :

Code:

import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;

public class url1fragment extends Fragment {
    WebView webCbView;
    @Nullable
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_layout, container, false);
        webCbView = view.findViewById(R.id.webView);
        webCbView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
        WebSettings settings = webCbView.getSettings();
        settings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        webCbView.loadUrl("https://yotamarker.forumotion.com/t155-android-mobile-app-dev-apk");
        return view;
    }
}

do the same with url2fragment, and url3fragment and change the url address to yout liking

main activity java :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.androidgrimoire;

import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.design.widget.TabLayout;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    ViewPager viewCbPager;
    TabLayout tabCbLayout;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        viewCbPager = findViewById(R.id.viewPager);
        tabCbLayout = findViewById(R.id.tabLayout);
        tabCbLayout.setupWithViewPager(viewCbPager);
        viewCbPager.setAdapter(new ViewPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager()));
    }

    private class ViewPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{
        String[] names = {"android grimoire", "java grimoire", "donate"};
        public ViewPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
            super(fm);
        }

        @Override
        public Fragment getItem(int position) {
            switch (names[position].toLowerCase()){
                case "java grimoire":
                    return new url2fragment();
                case "android grimoire":
                    return new url1fragment();
                case "donate":
                    return new url3fragment();
                default:
                    return null;
            }
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return names.length;
        }

        @Nullable
        @Override
        public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
            return names[position];
        }
    }
}

in manifests folder in the solution explorer in the AndroidManifest.xml
add internet browsing permission :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

so the code looks like :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.justforum.yotamarker.androidgrimoire">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

you can use in the url#fragment java class :
webCbView.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient());
instead of :
webCbView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
to enable a variety of features such as using img hyperlinks in the urls used.

of elements, with x elements active at a given time.

setup support design libraries :
solution explorer, gradle scripts, build.gradle(module.app),
add in dependencies:
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'

so it looks like :

Code:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.justforum.yotamarker.rycyclerview1"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    //noinspection GradleCompatible
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}

add a recycler view to
activity_main xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

   <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
       android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
       android:scrollbars="vertical"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

in res, layout folder : right click, add new layout resource file :
file name: layout_recycler_view
root element : LinearLayout

xml (padding adds space between the recycle partinias elements) :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:padding="20dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtDescription"
        android:text="Description"
        android:textColor="#000"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        />

</LinearLayout>

in values, styles.xml set to :

Code:


<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

</resources>

adding animation to Recyle view : src https://proandroiddev.com/enter-animation-using-recyclerview-and-layoutanimation-part-1-list-75a874a5d213

add miku1- miku14 without miku named png images to the drawable folder

in res add anim directory, add to it :

item_animation_fall_down.xml :

Code:

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:duration="2000">



    <translate

        android:fromYDelta="-20%"

        android:toYDelta="0"

        android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"

        />



    <alpha

        android:fromAlpha="0"

        android:toAlpha="1"

        android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"

        />



    <scale

        android:fromXScale="105%"

        android:fromYScale="105%"

        android:toXScale="100%"

        android:toYScale="100%"

        android:pivotX="50%"

        android:pivotY="50%"

        android:interpolator="@android:anim/decelerate_interpolator"

        />



</set>

android:duration="2000" is how long the animation runs

and layout_animation_fall_down.xml :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<layoutAnimation

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:animation="@anim/item_animation_fall_down"

    android:delay="15%"

    android:animationOrder="normal"

    />

add a simple book java class with image int :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.rycyclerview1;

import android.support.annotation.DrawableRes;

public class books {
    private @DrawableRes
    int picture;
    private String name;

    public books(@DrawableRes int picture, String name) {
        this.picture = picture;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public @DrawableRes int getPicture() {
        return picture;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setPicture(@DrawableRes int picture) {
        this.picture = picture;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

add a button to main activity xml which will rerun the animation :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">
   <Button
       android:onClick="TestHelloWorld"
       android:id="@+id/button"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"

       android:layout_centerVertical="true"
       android:layout_marginStart="63dp"
       android:text="Button" />
   <android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
       android:id="@+id/recyclerView"
       android:scrollbars="vertical"

       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

change the RecyclerAdapter java class to be compatible with the book class :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.rycyclerview1;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

class RecyclerViewHandler extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener,View.OnLongClickListener{
    public TextView txt_description;
    public ImageView pic;
    private ItemClickListener itemClickListener;


    public RecyclerViewHandler(View itemView) {
        super(itemView);
        txt_description = (TextView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.txtDescription);
        pic = (ImageView)itemView.findViewById(R.id.imgContact);
        itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
        itemView.setOnLongClickListener(this);
    }
    public void  setItemClickListener(ItemClickListener itemClickListener)
    {
        this.itemClickListener = itemClickListener;

    }
    public void onClick(View v)
    {
        itemClickListener.onClick(v,getAdapterPosition(),false);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
        itemClickListener.onClick(v,getAdapterPosition(),true);
        return true;
    }
}
public class RecyclerAdapter extends  RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerViewHandler>{
    private  List<books> bookList = new ArrayList<>();
    private Context context;

    public RecyclerAdapter(List<books> bookList, Context context) {
        this.bookList = bookList;
        this.context = context;
    }

    @NonNull
    @Override
    public RecyclerViewHandler onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext());
        View itemView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_item_recycler_view,parent,false);

        return new RecyclerViewHandler(itemView);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull RecyclerViewHandler holder, int position) {
        holder.txt_description.setText(bookList.get(position).getName());
        holder.pic.setImageResource(bookList.get(position).getPicture());
        holder.setItemClickListener(new ItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view, int position, boolean isLongClick) {
                if(isLongClick)
                    Toast.makeText(context, "long clicked " + bookList.get(position).getName(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                else
                    Toast.makeText(context, "short clicked " + bookList.get(position).getName(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }
        });

    }

    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {
        return bookList.size();
    }
}

modify the main activity java code :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.rycyclerview1;

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.animation.AnimationUtils;
import android.view.animation.LayoutAnimationController;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
RecyclerView recyclerView;
private RecyclerView.LayoutManager layoutManager;
private  List<books> bookList = new ArrayList<>();
    int resId = R.anim.layout_animation_fall_down;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        setupList();
        recyclerView = (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
        recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
        layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(this);
        recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
        RecyclerAdapter adapter = new RecyclerAdapter(bookList,this);
        recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);

        LayoutAnimationController animation = AnimationUtils.loadLayoutAnimation(this, resId);

        recyclerView.setLayoutAnimation(animation);



    }

    private void setupList() {
        int[] thisIsAnIntrray = {R.drawable.miku1,R.drawable.miku2,R.drawable.miku3,R.drawable.miku4,
                R.drawable.miku5,R.drawable.miku6,R.drawable.miku7,R.drawable.miku8,R.drawable.miku9,
                R.drawable.miku10,R.drawable.miku11,R.drawable.miku13,R.drawable.miku14};
        for(int i=0;i<13;i++){
            bookList.add(new books((thisIsAnIntrray[i]), "book " + i));
        }
    }
    private void runLayoutAnimation(final RecyclerView recyclerView) {
        final Context context = recyclerView.getContext();
        final LayoutAnimationController controller =
                AnimationUtils.loadLayoutAnimation(context, R.anim.layout_animation_fall_down);

        recyclerView.setLayoutAnimation(controller);
        recyclerView.getAdapter().notifyDataSetChanged();
        recyclerView.scheduleLayoutAnimation();
    }

    public void TestHelloWorld(View view) {
        runLayoutAnimation(recyclerView);
    }
}

also you can bind the animation to the xml recycler widget like this :

Code:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"                                        

    android:layoutAnimation="@anim/layout_animation_fall_down"

    />

instead of how it is in the main activity on create.

android splash screenWed Jun 06, 2018 9:27 am

android mobile app development grimoire 2bp80l

android splash screen, the screen thats loads for x milisec B4 the app loads

.1 solution explor, gradle scripts, build.gradle (modules: app), add line :
implementation 'gr.pantrif:easy-android-splash-screen:0.0.1'

above the line :
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'

in dependencies block.

.2 : java folder, right click MainActivity, new, activity, empty activity
activity name : SplashScreen, uncheck generate layout file.

code :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.splash;

import android.graphics.Color;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;

import gr.net.maroulis.library.EasySplashScreen;

public class SplashScreen extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        EasySplashScreen config = new EasySplashScreen(SplashScreen.this)
                .withFullScreen()
                .withTargetActivity(MainActivity.class)
                .withSplashTimeOut(5000)
                .withBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#1a1b29"))
                .withHeaderText("Header")
                .withFooterText("Footer")
                .withBeforeLogoText("Before Logo Text")
                .withAfterLogoText("After Logo Text")
                .withLogo(R.mipmap.ic_launcher_round);
        config.withBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash);
        config.getHeaderTextView().setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        config.getFooterTextView().setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        config.getBeforeLogoTextView().setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
        config.getAfterLogoTextView().setTextColor(Color.WHITE);

        View easySplashScreen = config.create();
        setContentView(easySplashScreen);
    }
}

comment out config.withBackgroundResource(R.drawable.splash); if you dont put a background image in res, drawable
(splash.jpg)

.3 solution explorer window, manifests, AndroidManifest.xml flip between mainactivity and splashscreen so it looks like this :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.justforum.yotamarker.splash">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".SplashScreen">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity"></activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

remove the action bar to get full screen splash :
res folder, values, styles.xml
change : <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar"> to
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">

you can paste an action bar on the activity xml

android storing data lv1Wed Jun 13, 2018 8:23 pm

android mobile app development grimoire 2c5t2k

android storing data lv1 :

shared preferences not deprecated (works on new APIs).

use a shared preferences screen to save simple values into the phone's cache memory such as simple
settings and strings :

add array.xml to res, values :
this is for simple dictionary data the preference screen will use among other widgets.

Code:

<resources>
    <string-array name="listArray">
        <item>Ace</item>
        <item>Club</item>
    </string-array>

    <string-array name="listValues">
        <item>Ace</item>
        <item>Club</item>
    </string-array>
</resources>

add xml dir to res, in it put preferences.xml (right click folder, new, xml resource file) :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <EditTextPreference android:title="Your Name"
        android:key="username"
        android:summary="Please provide your username"></EditTextPreference>
    <CheckBoxPreference android:title="Application Updates"
        android:defaultValue="false"
        android:summary="This option if selected will allow the application to check for latest versions."
        android:key="applicationUpdates" />
    <ListPreference     android:title="Download Details"
        android:summary="Select the kind of data that you would like to download"
        android:key="downloadType"
        android:defaultValue="Ace"
        android:entries="@array/listArray"
        android:entryValues="@array/listValues" />
</PreferenceScreen>

add empty activity : AppPreferenceActivity to java,com.projectdomain by right click new on the mainactivity :

Code:

package com.justforum.yotamarker.pref2;

import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.PreferenceActivity;
import android.preference.PreferenceFragment;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;

public class AppPreferenceActivity extends PreferenceActivity
{
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(android.R.id.content, new MyPreferenceFragment()).commit();

        checkValues();
    }

    public static class MyPreferenceFragment extends PreferenceFragment
    {
        @Override
        public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState)
        {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
        }
    }

    private void checkValues()
    {
        SharedPreferences sharedPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
        String strUserName = sharedPrefs.getString("username", "NA");
        boolean bAppUpdates = sharedPrefs.getBoolean("applicationUpdates",false);
        String downloadType = sharedPrefs.getString("downloadType","1");

        String msg = "Cur Values: ";
        msg += "\n userName = " + strUserName;
        msg += "\n bAppUpdates = " + bAppUpdates;
        msg += "\n downloadType = " + downloadType;
        // display vars from the shared pref widgets represented by the var msg :
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),msg,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

main activity with a btn to summon the preference screen as an activity :

Code:

I twicked the code in here : https://www.journaldev.com/9400/android-external-storage-read-write-save-file
so that the data is stored as a dictionary :
key (String): myInputText2 (lower one on the UI)
value (String): myInputText (upper one)

manifest :

add :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
above :
<application

so it looks like :

    package="com.projectnamedomain">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
