Kotlin Topics Overview

1. Spinner in Kotlin
A Spinner in Android is a dropdown list that allows users to choose a single item from a set of

options.

Example:

```

val spinner: Spinner = findViewById(R.id.spinner)

val options = arrayOf("Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3")

val adapter = ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, options)

adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item)

spinner.adapter = adapter

spinner.onItemSelectedListener = object : AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener {

override fun onItemSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>, view: View, position: Int, id: Long) {

val selectedItem = options[position]

override fun onNothingSelected(parent: AdapterView<*>) {}

```

2. ArrayAdapter in Kotlin
ArrayAdapter in Android is used to populate a view (such as ListView, GridView, or Spinner) with

data from an array or list.


Example:

```

val items = listOf("Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3")

val adapter = ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, items)

val listView: ListView = findViewById(R.id.listView)

listView.adapter = adapter

```

3. Uses of Interface in Kotlin


An interface in Kotlin defines a set of methods or properties that a class can implement, similar to

other object-oriented languages.

Example:

```

interface Clickable {

fun onClick()

class Button : Clickable {

override fun onClick() {

println("Button clicked!")

```

Uses of Interface:

- Provides abstraction.

- Helps achieve multiple inheritance.


- Ensures that classes implementing an interface follow a specific behavior.

4. Inner and Anonymous Classes in Kotlin


Inner Class: An inner class has access to the members of the outer class and can be created using

the `inner` keyword.

Example of Inner Class:

```

class Outer {

private val message = "Hello from Outer Class"

inner class Inner {

fun showMessage() = message

```

Anonymous Class: An anonymous class in Kotlin is an instance of an interface or abstract class

created on the spot without being formally named.

Example of Anonymous Class:

```

val clickListener = object : Clickable {

override fun onClick() {

println("Anonymous object clicked!")

```
5. RelativeLayout in Kotlin
RelativeLayout positions its children relative to each other or the parent layout.

Example:

```

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView1"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="TextView 1"

android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView2"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="TextView 2"

android:layout_below="@id/textView1"

android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

```
Properties:

- layout_alignParentTop, layout_alignParentBottom: Aligns the view to the top or bottom of the

parent.

- layout_centerHorizontal, layout_centerVertical: Centers the view horizontally or vertically within the

parent.

- layout_below, layout_above: Positions the view below or above another view.

Advantages:

- Flexible for positioning views relative to each other.

- Saves layout space and can reduce nested layouts.

Disadvantages:

- Can become complex and harder to manage with more views.

- Slower rendering compared to ConstraintLayout for complex layouts.
