Learning Android

Creating a mobile site view is quite simple but I somehow need to upgrade further, so I started using youtube for learning android... After learning from basic and getting a few tricks, so then I find out about this web view where you can create an App for android but android browser but made it seems like it's our own application.

Webview

Basic Webview Settings

<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
                android:id="@+id/webview"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                tools:context=".MainActivity" />

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

        mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
        mWebView.loadUrl("https://www.facebook.com/");
        mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
    }

private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webview, String url)
        {
            webview.loadUrl(url);
            return true;
        }
}

Use Back Button as the browser back

@Override
    public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
    {
        if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && mWebView.canGoBack())
        {
            mWebView.goBack();
            return true;
        }
        return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    }

SwipeRefreshLayout

implementation "androidx.swiperefreshlayout:swiperefreshlayout:1.1.0"
private WebView mWebView;
private SwipeRefreshLayout mySwipeRefreshLayout;


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

mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
        mySwipeRefreshLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.swipeContainer);
        mySwipeRefreshLayout.setOnRefreshListener(
                new SwipeRefreshLayout.OnRefreshListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onRefresh() {
                        mWebView.reload();
                    }
                }
        );
    }


private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
        @Override
        public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
            mySwipeRefreshLayout.setRefreshing(false);
            super.onPageFinished(view, url);
        }
    }

Meta mobile web view

For creating a mobile web view, we need these meta tags to define basic needs for the mobile view and the way i see it is, it will really save a lot of time using these meta tags than modifying by using css.

<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone-no"> <!-- do not recognize content as phone number -->
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1,maximum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" >

<!-- 
+ user-scalable = user wont be able to pinch and zoom
+ initial-scale=1 & minimum-scale=1 & maximum-scale=1 user wont able to see zoom in zoom out only ratio 1
+ width=device-width, height=device-height = take up the entire screen
+ target-densitydpi=device-dpi = render same as device dpi 
-->

Scrollview

Here's another example of tutorial in android, it shows how to get scroll view like a webpage you scroll down and up. 
mainactivity.java

package com.madindo.scrollview;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView02);
String s="";
for (int i=0; i < 100; i++) {
s += "fedrianto.com ";
}
view.setText(s);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}

}

Grab the Image using intent

Found this tutorial where i click on a button then pick image from my phone then put it in the imageview using intent... Nice
Intents are asynchronous messages which allow Android components to request functionality from other components of the Android system. Intents can be used to signal to the Android system that a certain event has occurred. Other components in Android can register to this event via an intent filter. Intents are send to the Android system via a method call, e.g. via the startActivity() method you can startactivities. Depending on how the Intent was constructed the Android system will run an receiver determination and determine possible components which can be started. If several components have registered for the same intents the user can decide which component should be started.

Troubleshoot - javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found - Android

After upgrading to Android studio, I had this problem where I only need to fetch the API from my server, I tried to create a new .pem but I was stuck. Also have I mentioned that I need to use AndroidX as well so every code need to adjust, Double KO.

echo | openssl s_client -connect {{IP}}:443 2>&1 | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > mycert.pem

But hey I'm just starting this out and it's overwhelming. I need something to keep on going with my learning so I found this and it worked. It is said that It's not the best approach but hey need to move on and I'll be back to this when I'm comfortable with android.

SQLITE

Finally into sqllite, i've been wondering where they put the database.
SQLiteDatabase is the base class for working with a SQLite database in Android and provides methods to open, query, update and close the database. More specifically SQLiteDatabase provides the insert(), update() and delete() methods. In addition it provides the execSQL() method, which allows to execute an SQL statement directly. The object ContentValues allows to define key/values. The "key" represents the table column identifier and the "value" represents the content for the table record in this column. ContentValues can be used for inserts and updates of database entries. Queries can be created via the rawQuery() and query() methods or via the SQLiteQueryBuilder class . rawQuery() directly accepts an SQL select statement as input. query() provides a structured interface for specifying the SQL query. SQLiteQueryBuilder is a convenience class that helps to build SQL queries. 
MySQLiteHelper

import android.content.Context;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase;
import android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper;
import android.util.Log;

public class MySQLiteHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper {

public static final String TABLE_COMMENTS = "comments";
public static final String COLUMN_ID = "_id";
public static final String COLUMN_COMMENT = "comment";

private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "commments.db";
private static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1;

// Database creation sql statement
private static final String DATABASE_CREATE = "create table "
+ TABLE_COMMENTS + "(" + COLUMN_ID
+ " integer primary key autoincrement, " + COLUMN_COMMENT
+ " text not null);";

public MySQLiteHelper(Context context) {
super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION);

@Override
public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) {
database.execSQL(DATABASE_CREATE);
}

@Override

"Upgrading database from version " + oldVersion + " to "

Handler

Now the result is more like a progress bar, so when you click it goes from the left to the right using
An instance of Handler class created in a scope of the main thread can update the user interface. For instance, if you create new instance of Handler class in onCreate() method of your Activity, this handler will be assigned to the main thread and therefore all runnable tasks posted to this handler can update the user interface. The Handler class provides methods for receiving instances of the Message or Runnable class.
main.xml








 


import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Handler handler;
private ProgressBar progress;
private TextView text;


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

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
progress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progressBar1);
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

}

public void startProgress(View view) {
// Do something long
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
final int value = i;
try {
Thread.sleep(500);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.e("debug", Integer.toString(i));
if (i == 10)
{
Log.e("debug", "Finish");
}
progress.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
text.setText("Updating");
progress.setProgress(value);
}
});
}
}
};
new Thread(runnable).start();
}

}

ListActivity

Now into creating a new list activity using list activity
Android provides the ListView class which is capable of displaying a scrollable list of items. These items can be of any type. The ListActivity class which extends the Activity class was designed to simplify the handling of ListViews. Adapters are used to provide the data to the ListView object. The adapter also defines how each row is the ListView is displayed. The adapter is assigned to the ListView via the setAdapter method on the ListView object.
package com.madindo.listactivity;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
String[] values = new String[] { "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile",
"Blackberry", "WebOS", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X",
"Linux", "OS/2" };
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, values);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
String item = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
Toast.makeText(this, item + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Creating listactivity with our own layout 
package com.example.listactivityownlayout;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
String[] values = new String[] { "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile",
"Blackberry", "WebOS", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X",
"Linux", "OS/2" };
// Use your own layout
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
R.layout.activity_main, R.id.label, values);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
String item = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
Toast.makeText(this, item + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
list Activity with an image next to it. In this one create a new class. MySimpleArrayAdapter.java 


package com.example.listownadapter;

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MySimpleArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
private final Context context;
private final String[] values;

public MySimpleArrayAdapter(Context context, String[] values) {
super(context, R.layout.activity_main, values);
this.context = context;
this.values = values;
}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, parent, false);
TextView textView = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.label);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.icon);
textView.setText(values[position]);
// Change the icon for Windows and iPhone
String s = values[position];
if (s.startsWith("Windows7") || s.startsWith("iPhone")
|| s.startsWith("Solaris")) {
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.no);
} else {
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ok);
}

return rowView;
}
}


activity_main

package com.example.listownadapter;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
String[] values = new String[] { "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile",
"Blackberry", "WebOS", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X",
"Linux", "OS/2" };
MySimpleArrayAdapter adapter = new MySimpleArrayAdapter(this, values);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}

}
Listview displaying two items 
package com.example.listviewshowtwoitem;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.SimpleAdapter;

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ArrayList> list = buildData();
String[] from = { "name", "purpose" };
int[] to = { android.R.id.text1, android.R.id.text2 };

SimpleAdapter adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this, list,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, from, to);
setListAdapter(adapter);
}

private ArrayList> buildData() {
ArrayList> list = new ArrayList>();
list.add(putData("Android", "Mobile"));
list.add(putData("Windows7", "Windows7"));
list.add(putData("iPhone", "iPhone"));
return list;
}

private HashMap putData(String name, String purpose) {
HashMap item = new HashMap();
item.put("name", name);
item.put("purpose", purpose);
return item;
}

}

Using Contact content provider

So now we will be listing our contact into a textview 
main.xml






 


MainActivity.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

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

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TextView contactView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.contactview);

Cursor cursor = getContacts();

while (cursor.moveToNext()) {

String displayName = cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
contactView.append("Name: ");
contactView.append(displayName);
contactView.append("n");
}
}

private Cursor getContacts() {
// Run query
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME };
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + " = '"
+ ("1") + "'";
String[] selectionArgs = null;
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
+ " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";


return managedQuery(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs,
sortOrder);
}

}

Temperature Converter

I found this site called vogella, which i found pretty interesting for beginner like me for android... this is my second app using android native before my first app was using phonegap which is also great, but somehow it feels like I need to learn the native language. So these are my notes on temperature converter :

res/values/string.xml
Temparature Convertor
Hello world!
Settings
Temparature Convertor

celsiusButton.setChecked(true);
}
break;
}
}

private float convertCelsiusToFahrenheit(float fahrenheit) {
return ((fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9);
}

private float convertFahrenheitToCelsius(float celsius) {
return ((celsius * 9) / 5) + 32;
}
}

Drawer Popup Toolbar

- make menu_main.xml from res -> new resource file type main_menu set type as menu

- then in activity_main or use code -> generate method

- to add back button when changing activity / intent

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

Splash screen

First on the main activity make a delayed function to open a new intent to another created home activity ( just create another activity from file new activity -> empty activity)

At first I thought you need an temporary activity then that activity just close it... after trying the mainActivity will be the splash of the activity so now we'll be working on the new activity homeActivity.

Making A trivia app

I recently tried to make an app from one of the course on udemy and learned a lot about the concept of MVC, Http Request using Volley, saving data on SharedPreference, some animation. Tried to continue the lesson but when on challenge I stopped the video and finish it by myself I had different code.
