Android Custom Toast Tutorial

July 21, 2010 in Tutorial, toast by Sasikumar
1diggdigg
Moving ahead from Simple Toast Example. Here we are going to see about how to display a textview in toast using setView() & some more properties of Toast. Toast is used to display a short message or notification in quick time without any button ( like OK, Cancel ). Simple Toast To display a simple toast, we need to maKeText for that toast & then call show() to display it. To use makeText(), we need to send 3 arguments. 1) Context 2) Text to display in toast 3) Duration How much time its need to be show At last call show() to display toast.
view source print?

1 /** A Simple Toast displaying "Toast Example - AndroidPeople.com". 2 3 4 5 * * * Display duration is short.
Show() is used to show the toast. Toast will automatically close the dialog. */
Toast.makeText(this, "Toast Example - AndroidPeople.com", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Toast setDuration() setDuration(int) is used to set display duration of a toast. You need to set duration in int type. Toast have 2 default integers for duration 1) Toast.LENGTH_SHORT Display the toast for short time. Used when the notification text is small. 2) Toast.LENGTH_LONG Display the toast for long time. Used when the notification text is big. Custom Toast Notification Custom toast notification is used when we need to display a custom View as toast by using setView().
create a toast and set any view to display in setView(). Here we created a textview with some UI design to display in toast.
view source print?
01 /** Creating TextView to display in toast. 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 /** Create a Toast to display a View. * * * * Here we are going to display a TextView. Toast setView() is used to display a View. Toast Display Duration is Long. So it will display for long time. Toast setGravity() is used to set position to display the toast. */ * set Background Color, Text Color, Padding & Text for TextView. */
TextView textView = new TextView(this); textView.setBackgroundColor(Color.GRAY); textView.setTextColor(Color.BLUE); textView.setPadding(10,10,10,10); textView.setText("Textview as Toast");
Toast toastView = new Toast(this); toastView.setView(textView); toastView.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG); toastView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0,0); toastView.show();
Toast setView() Used to display a view in toast. we can create a view with our won UI & then set it to setView() to display in view. Toast cancel() cancel() is used to stop displaying the toast if the toast is displaying.
Toast setGravity() setGravity() is used to set position to display the toast.

Android EditorInfo Go, Search, Done, Next Example

May 7, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Edittext, Keyboard by Sasikumar
There is always necessity to add extra keys apart from default keys available in virtual QWERTY keyboard. For instance we may need a direct search key by the side of edit text box in order to have direct triggering of Search actions. For Instance to add a Search key we need to add this code, so that It may appear in the QWERTY board.
EditTextSample.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH);
For adding a Done box through code

EditTextSample.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
The peculiar behavior of the button is that It closes the keyboard upon clicking this DONE key. For adding a Next box EditTextSample.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT); These similar can also be set through XML attribute. Search :
<EditText android:text="@+id/EditText01" android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:imeOptions="actionSearch"></EditText>
Done:
<EditText android:text="@+id/EditText01" android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:imeOptions="actionDone"></EditText>
Next:
<EditText android:text="@+id/EditText01" android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:imeOptions="actionNext"></EditText>
The similar kind action can be set through IME options in edit text properties.

This key code forces the keyboard to close.
Android TabHost Tutorial Part 2

July 15, 2010 in TabBar, Tutorial by Sasikumar

Moving ahead from TabHost Tutorial Part 1, here we are going to see about few needed things for Tab Bar Design.

Set TabWidget Tab Icon Set TabWidget Tab background/Color Set Current Tab
Set TabWidget Tab Icon In previous article we saw how to set text (name) to tab bar. Now we are going to see about how to set both text (name) & icon for a tab. For ex:- If the tab name is About Us you can set a icon related to About Us. To set text & icon we need to use setIndicator property. tabSpec.setIndicator(Char,Drawable);
view source print?
1 firstTabSpec.setIndicator("First Tab Name", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.logo));
secondTabSpec.setIndicator("Second Tab Name", getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.logo));
Set Current Tab We can manually set any tab to visible at first view.
view source print?
1 tabHost.getTabWidget().setCurrentTab(1);
we can use setCurrentTab() in run time too. Set TabWidget Tab Background / Color In default android tab bar color will be in Grey, you can easily change the color of the tab bar. It will be very useful when you are using different UI graphics for your App. use the below line of code in onCreate() to display in first time.
view source print?
1 for(int i=0;i<tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildCount();i++) 2{ 3 tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#7392B 5"));
4 }
To set different color for current selected tab. use

view source print?
1 tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(0).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#4E4E9C"));
Here 0 position is the first tab. When you change the tab selection you need to change your selected color to that current tab & replace the default color to other tab. For that use OnTabChangeListener(). These method will be called when you change the tab selection.
view source print?

01 @Override 02 public void onTabChanged(String tabId) { 03 // TODO Auto-generated method stub 04 for(int i=0;i 05 { 06 tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#7392B5")); 07 } 08 0 tabHost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tabHost.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundColor(Color.par 9 seColor("#4E4E9C")); 1 } 0

Android URL shortener using tinyurl example

July 8, 2010 in Tutorial, Twitter by S.Janardhanan
1diggdigg
The following is an tutorial to create short links. Why do we need shortlinks? consider this link http://www.google.com/search?q=android+url+shortener&ie=utf-8&oe=utf8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a This url has 132 characters. This is too large to use in application. Thats y we need to short it.
So the above url will be shortened as http://tinyurl.com/2vw3t8j
URL shortners are the one of the most demanding concept widely used in sharing sites like Facebook and Twitter. To start with make sure you have added the internet permission to your application.
view source print? A7, Stephanos Tower, Eachamukku, Kakkanadu,Kochi
1 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
Step1: The basic step is that our url is to be sent to tinyurl http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url= using this URL. Step2: The custom url is encoded with tinyurl using the function String.format(tinyurl, URLEncoder.encode(original)); Step 3: The url is sent in Get method using the HttpGet object with function client.execute() Step 4: The output is read from the HttpResponse.And stored as string using the InputStream. Step 5: The url is shortened and will be redirected to webpage upon clicking the url.

Android Edittext Hint

January 17, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Edittext by Sasikumar We can set edittext hint by using edittext android:hint property. Edittext hint is used to display a hint about the edittext. Example: When we are creating a login window we will create a textview & editext. Textview is for input (Enter the username). Editext is for output (androidpeople). By using edittext hint we need not create a textview for input. We can provide input text in edittext hint.
<EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:hint="Enter about edittext"/>
The Output will look like -
When you start typing in editext the hint will be auto hidden.

Android Edittext Single Line

January 16, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Edittext by Sasikumar We can set edittext to be a single line by using the property android:singleLine. When we type in more text in edittext it will wrap the content and create another line for the text. To stop creating the new line we need to use edittext android:singleLine Property. Android Edittext Single Line Example:<EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:singleLine="true" android:text="Edittext example by www.androidpeople.com" android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>
Here singleline property is true. So it wont create a new line in edittext. The Output will look like
Here the text is Edittext example by www.androidpeople.com but it is showing Edittext example by www.android as the singleline property is true. If singleline property is false , the output will look like

This post is posted as per the request of many comments on Android JTwitter Example. Now let proceed ahead with Facebook using FBrocket. Using FB rocket we can update our facebook profile status from mobile application. Before we get into coding we got to make sure that we do the following steps
1. Import the FBrocket JAR file to the eclipse project and add it to JAR libraries. Download here ( http://www.xeomax.net/fbrocket/download.php?d=bin&v=0.1a ) 2. Make sure you have created an application in http://www.facebook.com/developers/#!/developers/createapp.php 3. Note down application name and API key, do not reveal API key to anybody.
package org.androidpeople.facebook; import net.xeomax.FBRocket.FBRocket;

Android ListView with Searchbox Sort items

June 9, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Edittext, Listview, Tutorial by S.Janardhanan
0diggsdigg
This article is next step of Listexample. Here we have a search box which sorts the list view as when the content matches the list items. Why do we need this? Imagine that if we have 2K to 3K items in the listview, It will not be possible to scrolldown till 2000th item.In this case this will be handy to cut short items. To start with we add a edittext box and Listview added to LinearLayout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical"> <EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:hint="Search"></EditText><ListView android:id="@+id/ListView01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ></ListView> </LinearLayout>
Have a sample String array that is to loaded as List items. Create a temporary arraylist that hold the sorted items and Simply add it to the list view on addTextChangedListener() of edit text.
package com.androidpeople; import java.util.ArrayList; import import import import import import import android.app.Activity; android.os.Bundle; android.text.Editable; android.text.TextWatcher; android.widget.ArrayAdapter; android.widget.EditText; android.widget.ListView;
public class searchsort extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ private ListView lv1; private EditText ed; private String lv_arr[]={"Android","Cupcake","Donut","Eclairs","AndroidPeople","Froyo",}; private ArrayList<String> arr_sort= new ArrayList<String>(); int textlength=0; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle); setContentView(R.layout.main); lv1=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.ListView01); ed=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.EditText01); // By using setAdpater method in listview we an add string array in list. lv1.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 , lv_arr)); ed.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() { public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { } public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after) { }
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) { textlength=ed.getText().length(); arr_sort.clear(); for(int i=0;i<lv_arr.length;i++) { if(textlength<=lv_arr[i].length()) { if(ed.getText().toString().equalsIgnoreCase((String) lv_arr[i].subSequence(0, textlength))) { arr_sort.add(lv_arr[i]); } } } lv1.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(searchsort.this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 , arr_sort)); } }); } }

Android Layout Padding
February 11, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Layout, RelativeLayout, TableLayout by Sasikumar
In android, we can set Padding to layout. So that for each view we can give some space to display. We can set padding for each side separately. Example for Android Layout Padding :view source print?

Android Layout Highlight

February 8, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Layout by Sasikumar In android, we cant have option to highlight the layout directly. But we can have a option to highlight the layout by setting the listview background to layout background.
So that when you click the layout it will be highlighted as like a listview highlight. Example for Android Layout Highlight :view source print?
01 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 02 <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" 03 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 04 android:layout_height="fill_parent" 05 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 06 <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02" 07 android:layout_height="50px" 08 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 09 // Layout Click enable 10 android:clickable="true" 11 // Setting Highlight Option in background property 12 android:background="@android:drawable/list_selector_background" /> 13 </LinearLayout>

Android RelativeLayout
December 23, 2009 in Android Tutorial, Layout, RelativeLayout by Sasikumar RelativeLayout: What are the uses of Relative layout?

By adding views to relative layout, we can set the relative positions of views with respect to each other. For example if we add three views like imageview, textview and edittext we can specify the position of textview, that is whether it should be below (or any other direction) to edittext or imageview. android:layout_above=@+id/idname (Here @+id/idname is the id name of the view that should be above it). We can also set the position by android:layout_ toLeftOf (or) toRightOf (or) below and above.
Ex:view source print?
01 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 02 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 03 android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" 04 android:padding="6dip"> 05 <ImageView android:id="@+id/logo" 06 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 07 android:layout_height="fill_parent" 08 android:layout_alignParentTop="true" 09 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" 10 android:layout_marginRight="6dip" 11 android:src="@drawable/logo" /> 12 <TextView android:id="@+id/bodycontent" 13 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 14 android:layout_height="26dip" 15 android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" 16 android:layout_alignParentRight="true" 17 android:singleLine="true" 18 android:ellipsize="marquee" 19 android:text="Body Content" 20 android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/logo"/> 21 <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" 22 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 23 android:layout_alignParentRight="true" 24 android:layout_alignParentTop="true" 25 android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true" 26 android:gravity="center_vertical"
27 android:text="Title" 28 android:layout_above="@+id/bodycontent" 29 android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/logo"/> 30 </RelativeLayout>
The Output will look like:-
(Note: Here the red color lines wont appear in the output. ) In this example you can see that I first added the Body Content textview. But it is showing below the title & next to logo. This is the main use of relative layout. We can alter the position to any directions (right, left, below & above). Android TableLayout

Android TableLayout
December 23, 2009 in Android Tutorial, Layout, TableLayout by admin
TableLayout:
By seeing the word Table itself we know that Table Layout is used to show views in a table format with rows & columns. How to add rows in a table layout?

TableRow is used to add rows in a table layout. TableRow is a layout. It will arrange its children horizontally. If the table row parent is not table layout, then it will work like a horizontal linear layout. Each TableRow will define a single row in table. (If we create 10 TableRows it will define 10 rows in a table).
How to add columns in a table layout?

We can use any view to add a column in TableRow. We can add multiple columns by adding multiple views in a TableRow.
For instance,
view source print?
01 <?xml version="1.0? encoding="utf-8??> 02 <TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 03 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 04 android:layout_height="fill_parent" 05 android:stretchColumns="1?> 06 <TableRow> 07 <TextView android:text="New" 08 android:padding="3dip" /> 09 <TextView android:text="Ctrl+N" 10 android:gravity="right" 11 android:padding="3dip" /> 12 </TableRow> 13 <TableRow> 14 <TextView android:text="Import"
15 android:padding="3dip" /> 16 </TableRow> 17 <TableRow> 18 <TextView android:text="Exit" 19 android:padding="3dip" /> 20 <TextView android:text="Ctrl+E" 21 android:gravity="right" 22 android:padding="3dip" /> 23 </TableRow> 24 </TableLayout>
The Output will look like -
(Note: The red color lines wont appear in output) Here new, import & exit are of different lengths but it is showing them as the same size because of TableRow. By using TableRow we can get the values in order neatly & easily. Android RelativeLayout

Android HorizontalScrollview Example

February 16, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Scroll, Tutorial by Sasikumar In android, we can scroll the elements in both horizontal and vertical format. To scroll in Vertical we can use Scrollview, to scroll in horizontal format we need to use HorizontalScrollview. Example for HorizontalScrollview :<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> // Adding Scrollview <ScrollView android:id="@+id/ScrollView01" android:layout_height="110px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:scrollbars="horizontal|vertical"> // Adding HorizontalScrollview <HorizontalScrollView android:id="@+id/HorizontalScrollView01" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="wrap_content"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <Button android:text="1" android:id="@+id/Button01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <Button android:text="2" android:id="@+id/Button02" android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Android Listview Example

January 22, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Listview, Scroll, Tutorial by Sasikumar Today, we are going to see about a simple listview example. In Android, Listview is used to show a list of items in a vertically scrolling list. Learn a listview of android array in this tutorial. For instance, in a Registration form when we are selecting professions a list of items will be displayed. We can use Listview to display the list of items. Your XML file should look like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <ListView android:id="@+id/ListView01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout>
Your Java code looks like

public class ListviewExample extends Activity { private ListView lv1; private String lv_arr[]={"Android","iPhone","BlackBerry","AndroidPeople"}; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle); setContentView(R.layout.main); lv1=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.ListView01); // By using setAdpater method in listview we an add string array in list. lv1.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 , lv_arr)); } }

Android Textview Border

January 13, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Textview by Sasikumar We cannot set border to textview directly because there is no property to set border for textview. But we can give background color to Tablelayout & Textview. Using that we can make it look like border for textview. Android Textview Border Example :view source print?
01 <TableLayout android:id="@+id/TableLayout01" 02 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 03 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 04 android:background="#55771B"> 05 <TextView android:text="@+id/TextView01" 06 android:id="@+id/TextView01" 07 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 08 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 09 android:layout_marginLeft="3px" 10 android:layout_marginBottom="3px" 11 android:layout_marginRight="3px" 12 android:layout_marginTop="3px" 13 android:background="#010101"/> 14 </TableLayout>
Here the tablelayout background color is green & textview background color is black. By using android:layout_marginTop,Right,Bottom,Left as 3px. It will look like a border for textview. The Output will look like

Android Textview Aligment

December 29, 2009 in Android Tutorial, Textview by admin Here we are going to see about how to set textview alignment in Android. It is very simple to set Android textview alignment to the center, right or left etc.. Example for Android textview alignment To align a textview we need to use the gravity property

1 <TextView android:text="@+id/TextView01" 2 android:id="@+id/TextView01" 3 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 4 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 5 android:gravity="center" />
Now we set the alignment to center so that textview text will appear in the center of the textview(see the below image).
We can set the gravity as top, right, left, bottom,etcyou can also set more than one gravity at a time. For instance, android:gravity=right|center
(Note: The red color lines wont appear in the output.)

Android Textview Tutorial

December 21, 2009 in Android Tutorial, Textview, Tutorial by Sasikumar In this tutorial, we are going to learn about TextView.
In Android if we start any application, we may need to use TextView.
Textview is a View which we can add to any Layout. How to add TextView in a Layout? To add a textview to a layout, select the layout you need to add (here I have selected LinearLayout01) & then click the Add Button (shown in green color with plus symbol intimating Adds a new element)
Now you will get a dialog box from that select textview (see the below image).
After selecting the textview from the dialog your xml file layout will look like the below image. Now see the outline & layout to find the textview on that.
Now your XML code looks like

view source print?
01 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 02 <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" 03 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 04 android:layout_height="fill_parent" 05 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 06 <TextView android:text="@+id/TextView01" 07 android:id="@+id/TextView" 08 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 09 android:layout_height="wrap_content"> 10 </TextView> 11 </LinearLayout>
We now finished adding textview in the layout.

How to edit the properties of your textview? To change your textview id android:id=@+id/TextView To change your textview text android:text=This is my first textview sample application To enable or disable textview android:enabled=false To change your textview width & height android:layout_height=wrap_content android:layout_width=fill_parent To change your textview background android:background=@drawable/icon To change your textview text size android:textSize=16px To change your textview text style android:textStyle=bold Now your XMl code looks like
view source print?
01 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 02 <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" 03 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 04 android:layout_height="fill_parent" 05 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 06 <TextView android:text="This is my first textview sample application" 07 android:id="@+id/TextView"
08 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 09 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 10 android:background="@drawable/icon" 11 android:textSize="16px" 12 android:textStyle="bold"> 13 </TextView> 14 </LinearLayout>

Android Custom Listview Tutorial Part 2

June 25, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Listview, Tutorial by S.Janardhanan
Moving ahead from first part Custom List view, we are going to discuss three things. 1.Adding background colors to Listview 2.Adding different Divider color. 3.Triggering action on listview click. Step 1:
Listview Background Color
Adding Custom Background color to listview . For an elegance look for an application the listview color play a key role.
convertView.setBackgroundColor((position & 1) == 1 ? Color.WHITE : Color.LTGRAY);
apply this snippet in the function getView();
Note: You will lose item focus upon adding this background color. Step 2 :
Adding divider color.
When you apply a white background to list cell. You need to have change the divider color since it gets hidden by the background color. To change the background color
ColorDrawable divcolor = new ColorDrawable(Color.DKGRAY); l1.setDivider(divcolor); l1.setDividerHeight(2);
Step 3:
Listview Click action
We have to use OnItemClickListener to perform a action when an item on listview is clicked. Upon clicking get the current position of the item on the listview then later its passed to the arraylist to get the country name that was clicked.
l1.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() { @Override public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) { Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "You clciked "+country[arg2], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); }

ToggleButton.
Android ToggleButton
January 21, 2010 in Android Tutorial, ToggleButton by Sasikumar Android Toggle Button is used to set the button as checked or unchecked. We can set this toggle button to Yes or No also. We can change the toggle button text when the stage changes. We can set text for both On stage (ex: YES) & Off stage (ex: NO). Default Text of ON Stage is ON & OFF Stage is OFF. You can change the text through android:textOff & android:textOn property. Your XML code should look like
view source print?
01 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 02 <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" 03 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 04 android:layout_height="fill_parent" 05 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 06 android:gravity="center"> 07 <ToggleButton android:id="@+id/ToggleButton01" 08 android:layout_width="wrap_content" 09 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 10 android:textOff="Off Stage" 11 android:textOn="On Stage"/> 12 </LinearLayout>
For ON Stage, the output will look like
For OFF Stage, the output will look like

Android TTS (Text To Speech) Example
April 12, 2010 in Android Tutorial, TTS by Sasikumar In android,we can able to make text as speech using TTS. TTS supports English, French, German, Italian and Spanish Languages. TTS Example :view source print?
01 public class TTSExample extends Activity implements OnInitListener { 02 03 04 05 06 @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ private TextToSpeech tts;
07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 } } }
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent checkIntent = new Intent(); checkIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA); startActivityForResult(checkIntent, 0); tts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
@Override public void onInit(int arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub String speech1 = "How are you?"; String speech2 = "I hope you are fine."; tts.setLanguage(Locale.US); tts.speak(speech1, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null); tts.speak(speech2, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
To change the language use tts.setLangauge(); To make text to speak use tts.speak(); By suing these simple example you can able to use TTS.

Android XML Parsing Tutorial Using SAXParser

June 20, 2010 in Android Tutorial, Tutorial, XML Parsing by Sasikumar

Android XML Parsing Tutorial Using DOMParser Here we are going to see about how to parse a XML using SAX Parser. we are going to parse XML from net not from local file.
Files Used:XMLParsingExample.java ( Main Activity ) SitesList.java ( Getter & Setter Method ) MyXMLHandler.java ( XML Handling ) example.xml ( XML file from net )
The output will looks similar to
example.xml ( http://www.androidpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/example.xml )
view source print?
01 <maintag> 02 03 04 05 06 07 <item> <name>AndroidPeople</name> <website category="android">www.androidpeople.com</website> </item> <item> <name>iPhoneAppDeveloper</name>
08 09
<website category="iPhone">www.iphone-app-developer.com</website> </item>
10 </maintag>
If tag names are different, then we can use string to set & get the value. But here item,name & website tags are repeating 2 times. So we can use ArrayList to store & get the data.
XMLParsingExample.java
This is main activity class. when App. starts this file will be called first. This file contains how to use SAX Parser to handle XML tags.

XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
/** Send URL to parse XML Tags */ URL sourceUrl = new URL( "http://www.androidpeople.com/wpcontent/uploads/2010/06/example.xml");

63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 } } }
name[i] = new TextView(this); name[i].setText("Name = "+sitesList.getName().get(i)); website[i] = new TextView(this); website[i].setText("Website = "+sitesList.getWebsite().get(i)); category[i] = new TextView(this); category[i].setText("Website Category = "+sitesList.getCategory().get(i));
layout.addView(name[i]); layout.addView(website[i]); layout.addView(category[i]);
/** Set the layout view to display */ setContentView(layout);
MyXMLHandler.java
This file is used to handle the XML tags. So we need to extends with DefaultHandler. we need to override startElement, endElement & characters method . startElemnt method called when the tag starts. endElemnt method called when the tag ends characres method to get characters inside tag.
