• Activities – visual user interface focused on a

single thing a user can do

• Services – no visual interface – they run in the

background

• Broadcast Receivers – receive and react to

broadcast announcements

• Content Providers – allow data exchange

between applications

www.chandanverma.com

• src – your source code

• gen – auto-generated code (usually just R.java)

• Included libraries

• Resources

– Drawables (like .png images)

– Layouts

– Values (like strings)

• Manifest file


• Used to define some of the resources

– Layouts (UI)

– Strings

• Manifest file

• Shouldn’t usuall have to edit it directl , Eclipse can do that for you

• Preferred way of creating UIs

– Separates the description of the layout from any actual code that controls it

– Can easily take a UI from one platform to another


• Auto-generated: ou shouldn’t edit it • Contains IDs of the project resources

• Enforces good software engineering

• Use findViewById and Resources object to get

access to the resources

– Ex. Button b = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1)

– Ex. getResources().getString(R.string.hello));


• A TextView displays text to the user and optionally allows them to edit it. A TextView is a complete text editor, however the basic class is configured to not allow editing


• text: defines the text that would be displayed on the screen.

• textStyle: sets the style of the text.

• textSize: defines the size of the text.

• textColor: sets the color of the text.

• background: sets the background color.

• autoLink: identifies the links into the text and converts them into clickable ones. The available choices are web, email, phone.


• android:text="@stri g/* a e“ • android:textSize="30sp“ • android:textAppearance="?android:attr/t

extAppearanceLarge“ • android:id="@+id/te t2“

• android:fontFamily="Arial“ • android:textStyle="bold“ • android:textColor="#aarrggbb“

• android:background="#aarrggbb"


SP/DP

• px is one pixel.

• sp is scale-independent pixels.

• dp is Density-independent pixels.

• sp for font sizes

• dp for everything else.



You have to create the Color.xml file in the res/value folder of your project. The

code of Color.xml is

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

<color name="white">#FFFFFF</color>

<color name="yellow">#FFFF00</color>

<color name="fuchsia">#FF00FF</color>

<color name="red">#FF0000</color>

<color name="silver">#C0C0C0</color>

<color name="gray">#808080</color>

<color name="olive">#808000</color>

<color name="purple">#800080</color>

<color name="maroon">#800000</color>

<color name="aqua">#00FFFF</color>

<color name="lime">#00FF00</color>

<color name="teal">#008080</color>

<color name="green">#008000</color>

• setOnClickListener();

• Toast.makeText

• Toast.LENGTH_LONG

• show()

• getApplicationContext(),


Change button name/size/color:

android:text="@stri g/a“ android:textSize="30sp"

android:textColor="#aabbcc“ android:textStyle="bold“ android:background=“#aabbcc“ android:layout_width="100dp"


• In Android, Toast is a notification message that

pop up, display a certain amount of time, and

automatically fades in and out.

DISPLAY THE MESSAGE: //display in short period of time

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "msg msg",

Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

//display in long period of time

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "msg msg",

Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();


BUTTON EVENT

Button bt.

bt=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

bt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View v) {

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),

"hi dear", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

});


Button bt;

TextView t;

bt=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

t=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);

bt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

@Override


t.setText “ our string" ;

}


ImageView i;

i=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

For showing the Image

i.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);


Retrieving data from an EditText

getText()

EXAMPLE:

EditText etName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);

strName = etName.getText().toString();.

android:layout_weight="1"

android:maxLength="5"

android:inputType="number"


b=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

t=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);

b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View arg0) {

String mystr=t.getText().toString(); Toast msg=Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),mystr,Toast.LENGTH_LONG);

msg.show();

}


Stringbuffer

String mystr=t.getText().toString();

String result = new

StringBuffer(mystr).reverse().toString();


FOR PLUS:


try{

int x=Integer.parseInt(a.getText().toString());

int y=Integer.parseInt(b.getText().toString());

int sum=x+y;

shw.setText(""+sum);

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

catch(Exception e)

{

}

}

});


Toggle Button on and off

Android ToggleButton is two state button same as RadioButton and

CheckBox. And these two states are on and Off . When ToggleButton

is on then it shows a green bar and when it is in off state it shows a grey

bar. this is default behavior.


• android:layout_width="match_parent

• android:layout_height="wrap_content

• android:text="ToggleButton

• android:textOff="Toggele button off

• android:textOn="Toggle button is on

• setChecked(true)

• setChecked(false)

• isChecked()


Toggle Button( XML)

ToggleButton t;

Button b;

TextView et;

t=(ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.toggleButton1);

b=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

et=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);


b.setOnClickListener( new OnClickListener() {


if(t.isChecked())

{

et.setText("toggle button is pressed");

t.setChecked(true);

}

else

{

et.setText("toggle button is off");

t.setChecked(false);

}

}

});


You often use radio buttons when a user

should be allowed to only select one item

from a small group of items.

android:checked= true

android:checked="false"

getCheckedRadioButtonId();


1.Link with XML RadioGroup rg;

Button b;

rg=(RadioGroup)findViewById(R.id.radioGroup1);


2.Attached Click listener to Button

b.setOnClickListener(this);

3. Implements OnClickListener

public class Radio1Activity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

**ADD UNIMPLEMENTED METHOD



if( v==b)

{

RadioButton selectRadio = (RadioButton)

findViewById(rg.getCheckedRadioButtonId());

String opinion = selectRadio.getText().toString();

Toast.makeText(this, "Your Opinion is : " +

opinion,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}


• One of the easiest and most common ways to

accept user input in an Android Application is

the Checkbox component.

• Implement view.onclickListener

• isChecked Method

Determine if the box is checked using

isChecked() method


• android:checked="false

• android:text="@string/b"


c.setOnClickListener(this);

public class CheboxActivity extends Activity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

CheckBox c;

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

c=(CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);


}


• Implement the OnClickListener interface for

the activity class .

• Call the setOnClickListener() object by passing

the context as a paramter to it .

• Override the onClick(View v) method inside

the activity class .


public class CheboxActivity extends Activity

implements OnClickListener {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */

CheckBox c;

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.main);

c=(CheckBox) findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);


}

}

**ADD UNIMPLEMENTED METHOD




}

This is a method which is get called whether

Checkbox Is checked or not.


(View v) is checkbox object


CheckBox t=(CheckBox) v;

if(t.isChecked())

{

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext , your msg" , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

else

{

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext , your msg" , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

}


public void onClick(View v)

{

switch(v.getId())

{

case R.id.checkbox1:

break;

case R.id.cbox2:

break;

............and so on }

}


if (checkBox1.isChecked())

{

checkBox1.setChecked(false);

} if (checkBox2.isChecked())

{

checkBox2.setChecked(false);

}

switch(v.getId())

{

case R.id.checkBox1:

c2.setChecked(false);



Toast.makeText(this, "yes", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

break;

So on.....................


//String edit="";

Button btn;

EditText ed;

ToggleButton toggle;

btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

ed = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);

toggle =

(ToggleButton)findViewById(R.id.toggleButton1);

//edits = ed.getText().toString();


Toggle Button(eg)

btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {



edit = ed.getText().toString();

if(edit.equals("1")){

toggle.setTextOff("TOGGLE ON");

toggle.setChecked(true);

}

else if(edit.equals("0")){

toggle.setTextOn("TOGGLE OFF");

toggle.setChecked(false);

}

}

});


Starting activities

startActivity()

Example:

Intent i = new Intent(ac1,ac2); startActivity(i);

Intent.ACTION_VIEW

Uri.parse


Intent can be used to perform following 3 tasks

• Open another Activity or Service from the

current Activity

• Pass data between Activities and Services

• Delegate responsibility to another application.

For example, you can use Intents to open the

browser application to display a URL.


• When you know which component you want

to launch .

• When you open an activity from another

activity in the same Android app, you use

Explicit Intents.


you do not know which component should be

launched. Or if you want to give the user an

option to choose between a list of

components to use.


Button go,fa,gm;

addListenerOnButton();//method

}

public void addListenerOnButton() {

gm=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

go=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button2);

fa=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button3);

gm.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View arg0) { Intent bw=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://www.gmai.com"));

startActivity(bw);// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

});


1.TWO ACTIVITY FILE

FirstActivit

secondActivity

2.TWO XML FILE

MAIN.XML

SECOND.XML

setContentView(R.layout.second);//CHANGE LAYOUT

3.Entry new activity into androidmainfest.xml

<activity android:name="secondActivity">

</activity>


Button btn;

btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);

btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) { Intent i=new Intent(firstActivity.this,secondActivity.class);

startActivity(i);

}

});


Button b;


b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
