Android Custom Toast Example

You are able to create custom toast in android. So, you can display some images like congratulations or
loss on the toast. It means you are able to customize the toast now.

activity_main.xml

Drag the component that you want to display on the main activity.

File: activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="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=".MainActivity" >

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="@string/hello_world" />

</RelativeLayout>

customtoast.xml

Create another xml file inside the layout directory. Here we are having ImageView and TextView in this
xml file.

File: customtoast.xml

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

<LinearLayout xmlns:androclass="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/custom_toast_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#F14E23"
>

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/custom_toast_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:contentDescription="@string/hello_world"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>

<TextView
android:id="@+id/custom_toast_message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="@string/Toast"
android:text="@string/Toast" />
</LinearLayout>

Activity class

Now write the code to display the custom toast.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.customtoast2;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

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

//Creating the LayoutInflater instance

LayoutInflater li = getLayoutInflater();
//Getting the View object as defined in the customtoast.xml file
View layout = li.inflate(R.layout.customtoast,
(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.custom_toast_layout));

//Creating the Toast object

Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL, 0, 0);
toast.setView(layout);//setting the view of custom toast layout
toast.show();
}
 @Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}

Output:

Android AlertDialog Example

Android AlertDialog can be used to display the dialog message with OK and Cancel buttons. It can be
used to interrupt and ask the user about his/her choice to continue or discontinue.

Android AlertDialog is composed of three regions: title, content area and action buttons.

Android AlertDialog is the subclass of Dialog class.

 Android AlertDialog Example

Let's see a simple example of android alert dialog.

activity_main.xml

You can have multiple components, here we are having only a textview.

File: activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="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=".MainActivity" >

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="@string/hello_world" />

</RelativeLayout>

strings.xml

Optionally, you can store the dialog message and title in the strings.xml file.

File: strings.xml

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

<resources>

<string name="app_name">alertdialog</string>
<string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
<string name="menu_settings">Settings</string>
<string name="dialog_message">Welcome to Alert Dialog</string>

<string name="dialog_title">Javatpoint Alert Dialog</string>

</resources>

Activity class

Let's write the code to create and show the AlertDialog.

 File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.alertdialog;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

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

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);

//Uncomment the below code to Set the message and title from the strings.xml file
//builder.setMessage(R.string.dialog_message) .setTitle(R.string.dialog_title);

//Setting message manually and performing action on button click

builder.setMessage("Do you want to close this application ?")
.setCancelable(false)
.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
finish();
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// Action for 'NO' Button
dialog.cancel();
}
});

//Creating dialog box

AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
//Setting the title manually
alert.setTitle("AlertDialogExample");
alert.show();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

@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;
}

Output:

Android Spinner Example

 Android Spinner is like the combox box of AWT or Swing. It can be used to display the multiple
options to the user in which only one item can be selected by the user.

Android spinner is like the drop down menu with multiple values from which the end user can select only
one value.

Android spinner is associated with AdapterView. So you need to use one of the adapter classes with
spinner.

Android Spinner class is the subclass of AsbSpinner class.

Android Spinner Example

In this example, we are going to display the country list. You need to use ArrayAdapter class to store the
country list.

Let's see the simple example of spinner in android.

activity_main.xml

Drag the Spinner from the pallete, now the activity_main.xml file will like this:

File: activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="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=".MainActivity" >
 <Spinner
android:id="@+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="83dp" />

</RelativeLayout>

Activity class

Let's write the code to display item on the spinner and perform event handling.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.spinner;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Spinner;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements

AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {

String[] country = { "India", "USA", "China", "Japan", "Other", };

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//Getting the instance of Spinner and applying OnItemSelectedListener on it
Spinner spin = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
spin.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

//Creating the ArrayAdapter instance having the country list

ArrayAdapter aa = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,country);
aa.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
//Setting the ArrayAdapter data on the Spinner
spin.setAdapter(aa);
}
 //Performing action onItemSelected and onNothing selected
@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position,long id) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),country[position] ,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

@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;
}
}

Android AutoCompleteTextView Example

Android AutoCompleteTextView completes the word based on the reserved words, so no need to write
all the characters of the word.

Android AutoCompleteTextView is a editable text field, it displays a list of suggestions in a drop down
menu from which user can select only one suggestion or value.

Android AutoCompleteTextView is the subclass of EditText class. The MultiAutoCompleteTextView is

the subclass of AutoCompleteTextView class.
 Android AutoCompleteTextView Example

In this example, we are displaying the programming languages in the autocompletetextview. All the
programming languages are stored in string array. We are using the ArrayAdapter class to display the
array content.

Let's see the simple example of autocompletetextview in android.

//Creating the instance of ArrayAdapter containing list of language names

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>
(this,android.R.layout.select_dialog_item,language);
//Getting the instance of AutoCompleteTextView
AutoCompleteTextView actv= (AutoCompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1
);
actv.setThreshold(1);//will start working from first character
actv.setAdapter(adapter);//setting the adapter data into the AutoCompleteTextView
actv.setTextColor(Color.RED);

Android analog and digital clocks are used to show time in android application.

Android AnalogClock is the subclass of View class.

Android DigitalClock is the subclass of TextView class. Since Android API level 17, it is deprecated.
You are recommended to use TextClock Instead.

In android, you need to drag analog and digital clocks from the pallet to display analog and digital
clocks. It represents the timing of the current device.

activity_main.xml

Now, drag the analog and digital clocks, now the xml file will look like this.

File: activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="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=".MainActivity" >

<AnalogClock
android:id="@+id/analogClock1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="22dp" />

<DigitalClock
android:id="@+id/digitalClock1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@+id/analogClock1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="81dp"
android:text="DigitalClock" />

</RelativeLayout>
 Activity class

We have not write any code here.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.analogdigital;

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

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

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

@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;
}
}
Output:

Android ProgressBar Example

We can display the android progress bar dialog box to display the status of work being done e.g.
downloading file, analyzing status of work etc.

In this example, we are displaying the progress dialog for dummy file download operation.

Here we are using android.app.ProgressDialog class to show the progress bar. Android ProgressDialog
is the subclass of AlertDialog class.

The ProgressDialog class provides methods to work on progress bar like setProgress(), setMessage(),
setProgressStyle(), setMax(), show() etc. The progress range of Progress Dialog is 0 to 10000.

Let's see a simple example to display progress bar in android.

1. ProgressDialog progressBar = new ProgressDialog(this);
2. progressBar.setCancelable(true);//you can cancel it by pressing back button
3. progressBar.setMessage("File downloading ...");
4. progressBar.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
5. progressBar.setProgress(0);//initially progress is 0
6. progressBar.setMax(100);//sets the maximum value 100
7. progressBar.show();//displays the progress bar

Android Progress Bar Example by ProgressDialog

Let's see a simple example to create progress bar using ProgressDialog class.

activity_main.xml

Drag one button from the pallete, now the activity_main.xml file will look like this:

File: activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:androclass="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=".MainActivity" >

<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="116dp"
android:text="download file" />

</RelativeLayout>

Activity class

Let's write the code to display the progress bar dialog box.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.progressbar1;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
Button btnStartProgress;
ProgressDialog progressBar;
private int progressBarStatus = 0;
private Handler progressBarHandler = new Handler();
private long fileSize = 0;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
addListenerOnButtonClick();
}
public void addListenerOnButtonClick() {
btnStartProgress = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
btnStartProgress.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// creating progress bar dialog
progressBar = new ProgressDialog(v.getContext());
progressBar.setCancelable(true);
progressBar.setMessage("File downloading ...");
progressBar.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
progressBar.setProgress(0);
progressBar.setMax(100);
progressBar.show();
//reset progress bar and filesize status
progressBarStatus = 0;
fileSize = 0;

new Thread(new Runnable() {

public void run() {
while (progressBarStatus < 100) {
// performing operation
progressBarStatus = doOperation();
try {Thread.sleep(1000);} catch (InterruptedException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
// Updating the progress bar
progressBarHandler.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
progressBar.setProgress(progressBarStatus);
}
 });
}
// performing operation if file is downloaded,
if (progressBarStatus >= 100) {
// sleeping for 1 second after operation completed
try {Thread.sleep(1000);} catch (InterruptedException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
// close the progress bar dialog
progressBar.dismiss();
}
}
}).start();
}//end of onClick method
});
}
// checking how much file is downloaded and updating the filesize
public int doOperation() {
//The range of ProgressDialog starts from 0 to 10000
while (fileSize <= 10000) {
fileSize++;
if (fileSize == 1000) {
return 10;
} else if (fileSize == 2000) {
return 20;
} else if (fileSize == 3000) {
return 30;
} else if (fileSize == 4000) {
return 40;//you can add more else if
} else{
return 100;
}
}//end of while
return 100;
}//end of doOperation

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}

Android Activity Lifecycle

Android Activity Lifecycle is controlled by 7 methods of android.app.Activity class. The android

Activity is the subclass of ContextThemeWrapper class.

An activity is the single screen in android. It is like window or frame of Java.

By the help of activity, you can place all your UI components or widgets in a single screen.

The 7 lifecycle method of Activity describes how activity will behave at different states.
Android Activity Lifecycle methods

Let's see the 7 lifecycle methods of android activity.

Method Description

onCreate called when activity is first created.

onStart called when activity is becoming visible to the user.

onResume called when activity will start interacting with the user.

onPause called when activity is not visible to the user.

onStop called when activity is no longer visible to the user.

onRestart called after your activity is stopped, prior to start.

onDestroy called before the activity is destroyed.

 Android Activity Lifecycle Example

It provides the details about the invocation of life cycle methods of activity. In this example, we are
displaying the content on the logcat.

File: MainActivity.java

package com.example.activitylifecycle;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d("lifecycle","onCreate invoked");
}
@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Log.d("lifecycle","onStart invoked");
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d("lifecycle","onResume invoked");
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.d("lifecycle","onPause invoked");
}
@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
Log.d("lifecycle","onStop invoked");
}
@Override
protected void onRestart() {
super.onRestart();
Log.d("lifecycle","onRestart invoked");
}
@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
 super.onDestroy();
Log.d("lifecycle","onDestroy invoked");
}
}

Output:

You will not see any output on the emulator or device. You need to open logcat.

Now see on the logcat: onCreate, onStart and onResume methods are invoked.
Now click on the HOME Button. You will see onPause method is invoked.
After a while, you will see onStop method is invoked.

Now see on the emulator. It is on the home. Now click on the center button to launch the app again.

Now click on the lifecycleactivity icon.

Now see on the logcat: onRestart, onStart and onResume methods are invoked.

If you see the emulator, application is started again.

Now click on the back button. Now you will see onPause methods is invoked.

After a while, you will see onStop and onDestroy methods are invoked.
