Introduction to Android and its version. Configuring android
development environment.
Android: - Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google. It is used by
several smartphones and tablets.
The Android operating system (OS) is based on the Linux kernel. Unlike Apple's iOS, Android
is open source, meaning developers can modify and customize the OS for each phone.
Therefore, different Android-based phones often have different graphical user interfaces GUIs
even though they use the same OS.

You will learn how to set the environment to develop Android application .This Comprises of
downloading, configuring and installing several software components required to make the IDE
complete and ready for developing purpose.

Required components to setup your Android IDE are as follows:

 Java development kit or JDK since applications are being developed in java
 Android Software Development Kit(SDK)
 Eclipse IDE

Downloading and Installing the Android SDK:

The Android SDK is a complete set of API Libraries and developer tools. By configuring these
tools and libraries with Eclipse, an Android-specific development environment will be ready.
The link to download the latest Android SDK from the Android developer’s website is as
follows:

http://developers.android.com/sdk/index.html

The Android SDK is a kit, which helps in buildings, testing and debugging application for
Android. By accessing above link, you will be directed to the Android developer’s site, where
you will find [Download the SDK button]. This button will download Android SDK as an ADT
Bundle that includes everything you need to develop Android application. This bundle includes
following items:

 Eclipse + ADT Plugin

 Android SDK tools
 The Latest Platform Android
 The Latest Platform system image for the emulator

You need to click on it and then select the check box to accept its terms and condition. Finally,
the Android SDK pack will be downloaded as a zip folder.

Now, perform the following steps to install Android SDK:

1. Unzip the ZIP file named adt-bundle-<os_platform>.zip and save it to an appropriate

location, such as D:\Development.
2. Open the adt-bundle-<os_platform>/eclipse/ directory and launch Eclipse. The Java –
ADT window will open as shown in Figure 1:

Figure 1: Java-ADT window

You should not move any of the file or directories from the adt-bundle-<os_platform> directory;
otherwise ADT will not be able to locate the SDT and you will need to manually update the ADT
preferences.

ADT is the extension to increase the capabilities of Eclipse to create Android Projects, create an
Application UI, add packages of android API, and debug the Android application. The steps to
download the ADT plugin are as follows:

1. Start the Eclipse from the location you have installed earlier.

2. Select Help Install New Software, as shown in Figure 2:

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/

If any problem persists in fetching ADT plugins, just try to use http instead of https in the
uniform Resource locator

5. Click the OK button.

The Add Repository diagonals box disappears.

6. Click the Select All button and then click the Next button, as shown in Figure 4:

Practical 2
Aim : Study of debugging tools: Logcat and DDMS.
 Introduction
 In this increasingly fragmented and complex world of Android application development,
thoroughly testing your Android app is becoming a real challenge. One of the biggest headaches
is how to test your Android app in all the conceivable real-world scenarios. To make matters
worse, most Android app development scenarios are mobile-specific, and will be unfamiliar to
developers who have previously dealt only with desktop and Web environments.
 You may have an Android device with your targeted operating system on hand, but you'll still
struggle to recreate every possible situation, which is why the emulator has become the Android
developer's best friend. But even Android emulators have their limitations, and the testing phase
is crucial to the success of your Android app.
 The good news for Android developers is that once you have the Android SDK and ADT plugin
installed, you'll have access to one of the most powerful debugging tools out there: the Dalvik
Debug Monitor Server (DDMS.)
 What is DDMS?
 The DDMS is an invaluable tool for checking the memory usage of your Android app, drilling
down into errors, simulating a range of real-world conditions, and much more. The DDMS can
analyze an Android project running in the emulator, or it can be connected to a real device (if both
are connected, the DDMS will default to the emulator.)
 Where to find DDMS?
 To access the DDMS, open the Window menu and select Open Perspective. Select Other, which
will present you with a list of additional options. Select DDMS.

 This will bring up the DDMS perspective with the default views (note that you can always access
additional views by opening the Window menu and selecting Show View). In this article, I'll take
you through these different DDMS views and explain why they're so important for Android
development

 What is Logcat?
 Logcat is a command-line tool that dumps a log of system messages, including stack traces when
the device throws an error and messages that you have written from your app with the Log class. 
 Syntax in Command-Line
 To run logcat through the adb shell, the general usage is:
[adb] logcat [<option>] ... [<filter-spec>] ...

 You can run logcat as an adb command or directly in a shell prompt of your emulator or
connected device. To view log output using adb, navigate to your SDK platform-tools/ directory
and execute:

adb logcat

 Filtering Log Output

 The tag of a log message is a short string indicating the system component from which the
message originates (for example, "View" for the view system).
 The priority is one of the following character values, ordered from lowest to highest priority:
o V: Verbose (lowest priority)
o D: Debug
o I: Info
o W: Warning
o E: Error
o F: Fatal
o S: Silent (highest priority, on which nothing is ever printed)

 Logging from Code

 The Log class allows you to create log entries in your code that display in the logcat tool.
Common logging methods include:
o Log.v(String, String) (verbose)
o Log.d(String, String) (debug)
o Log.i(String, String) (information)
o Log.w(String, String) (warning)
o Log.e(String, String) (error)

Practical 3
Aim : Event Handling in Android (Three Methods).
 Introduction
 Events are a useful way to collect data about a user's interaction with interactive components of
Applications.Like button presses or screen touch etc. The Android framework maintains an event
queue as first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. You can capture these events in your program and take
appropriate action as per requirements.
 What is Event Handler?
 When an event happens and we have registered an event listener for the event, the event listener
calls the Event Handlers, which is the method that actually handles the event.
 Event Handling Methods
o onClick()
This is called when the user either clicks or touches or focuses upon any widget like button, text, image
etc. We use onClick() event handler to handle such event.

Application.java

package com.javacodegeeks.android.example.androidonclicklistenerexample;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.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.main, menu);
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

150110107039
SUBJECT : MCWC SUBJECT CODE : 2170710

@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Button Clicked",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

});
return true;
}
}
o onLongClick()

This is called when the user either clicks or touches or focuses upon any widget like button, text, image
etc. for one or more seconds. You will use onLongClick() event handler to handle such event.

o onFocusChange()

This is called when the widget looses its focus ie. user goes away from the view item. You will use
onFocusChange() event handler to handle such event.

Aim : Orientation in Android
 Introduction
 The screen orientation attribute is provided by the activity element in the Android Manifest.Xml
file. The orientations provided by the activity are Portrait, Landscape, Sensor, Unspecified and so
on. To perform a screen orientation activity you define the properties in the Android Manifest.Xml
file.
 Types of Orientation
o Unspecified : It is the default value. In such case, system chooses the
orientation.
o Portrait : In a portrait mode the screen will be taller not wider.
o Landscape : In a landscape mode the screen will be wider not taller.
o Sensor : Orientation is determined by the device orientation sensor.
 Example
 In this example, we will create two activities of different screen orientation. The first
activity (MainActivity) will be as "portrait" orientation and second activity
(SecondActivity) as "landscape" orientation type.

Practical – 16
Aim: To Study about ad hoc network and show its working

An ad hoc network is a type of temporary computer-to-computer connection. In ad hoc mode,

you can set up a wireless connection directly to another computer without having to connect
to a Wi-Fi access point or router.

Ad Hoc Wireless Network Features and Uses

 Ad hoc networks are useful when you need to share files or other data directly with
another computer but don't have access to a Wi-Fi network.
 More than one laptop can be connected to the ad hoc network, as long as all of the
adapter cards are configured for ad hoc mode and connect to the same SSID (service
state identifier). The computers need to be within 100 meters of each other.
 If you are the person who sets up the ad hoc network, when you disconnect from the
network, all the other users are also disconnected. An ad hoc network is deleted when
everyone on it disconnects—which can be good or bad, depending on your view; it's
truly a spontaneous network.
 You can use an ad hoc wireless network to share your computer's internet connection
with another computer.

Ad Hoc Wireless Network Limitations

 For file and printer sharing, all users need to be in the same workgroup, or if one com-
puter is joined to a domain, the other users have to have accounts on that computer in
order to access shared items.
 Other limitations of ad hoc wireless networking include the lack of security and a
slow data rate. Ad hoc mode offers minimal security. If an attacker comes
within range of your ad hoc network, he won't have any trouble connecting.

Configuration of Ad Hoc Network.

Step 1: Launch an elevated command prompt under Windows 8 (one with

administrator privileges).

Step 2: Run the following command to verify that your network interface supports
virtualization:
netsh wlan show drivers

If Hosted network supported says Yes, you’re all set. Otherwise, you need to upgrade
your hardware, if the software update doesn’t fix it.

Step 3: Now, set up the ad hoc wireless network using this command. Replace the
parts in markup tags with your own choices
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<enter_network_name_here>
key=<enter_password_here>

Step 4: Until now, your hosted network has been created. Now, you need to start it.
Use the command below:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork

Step 5: You’re all set, with just one thing remaining. If it’s not already enabled, you
need to allow Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) for your currently-active internet
connection. Simply head over to Network & Sharing Center, and in the properties for
the current internet connection, enable ICS. Make sure to select the ad hoc
connection under Home networking connection.

Now you can connect any device to the internet using the ad hoc wireless network
with internet connection sharing that you just created on your Windows 8 PC
