FAMILIARIZATION OF ANDROID STUDIO

Android is a software package and Linux based operating system for mobile devices such as
tablet computers and smartphones. It is developed by Google and later the OHA (Open Handset
Alliance). It's a consortium of 84 companies such as google, samsung, AKM, synaptics, KDDI,
Garmin, Teleca, Ebay, Intel etc.It was established on 5th November, 2007, led by Google. It is
committed to advance open standards, provide services and deploy handsets using the Android
Plateform.Java language is mainly used to write the android code even though other languages
can be used. The goal of android project is to create a successful real-world product that
improves the mobile experience for end users.There are many code names of android such as
Lollipop, Kitkat,Jelly Bean, Ice cream Sandwich, Froyo, Ecliar, Donut etc

Android Core Building Blocks

An android component is simply a piece of code that has a well defined life cycle e.g. Activity,
Receiver, Service etc. The core building blocks or fundamental components of android are
activities, views, intents, services, content providers, fragments and AndroidManifest.xml.

 Activity-An activity is a class that represents a single screen. It is like a Frame in AWT.
 View-A view is the UI element such as button, label, text field etc. Anything that you see
is a view.
 Intent-Intent is used to invoke components.
 Service-Service is a background process that can run for a long time. There are two
types of services local and remote. Local service is accessed from within the application
whereas remote service is accessed remotely from other applications running on the
same device.
 Content Provider-Content Providers are used to share data between the applications.
 Fragment-Fragments are like parts of activity. An activity can display one or more
fragments on the screen at the same time.

Department of Computer Engineering, GPTC Perumbavoor 9

  AndroidManifest.xml-It contains information about activities, content providers,
permissions etc. It is like the web.xml file in Java EE.
 Android Virtual Device (AVD)-It is used to test the android application without the need
for mobile or tablet etc. It can be created in different configurations to emulate
different types of real devices.

Android Emulator

Android Emulator is used to run, debug and test the android application. If you don't have the
real device, it can be the best way to run, debug and test the application. It uses an open source
processor emulator technology called QEMU. The emulator tool enables you to start the
emulator from the command line.

EXPLICIT INTENT-I

AIM:

To familiarize how to navigate through activities using Intent.

THEORY

Android application components can connect to other Android applications. This connection is
based on a task description represented by an Intent object. Intents allow you to interact with
components from the same applications as well as with components contributed by other
applications. Explicit intents explicitly define the component which should be called by the
Android system, by using the Java class as identifier.The following shows how to create an
explicit intent and send it to the Android system to start an activity.

Intent i = new Intent(this, ActivityTwo.class);

i.putExtra("Value1", "This value one for ActivityTwo ");
startActivity(i);

PROCEDURE

1. Start Android Studio and create a new Android Studio project.

EXPLICIT INTENT- CHECKBOX

AIM:

To understand passing data of selected Checkbox and EditText value to another activity using
Intent.

THEORY

Explicit intents explicitly define the component which should be called by the Android system, by
using the Java class as identifier. The following code is to create an explicit intent and send it to
the Android system to start an activity.

Intent i = new Intent(this, ActivityTwo.class);

i.putExtra("Value1", "This value one for ActivityTwo ");
startActivity(i);

Get the intent that activated this activity:

Intent intent = getIntent();
String message = intent.getStringExtra(“Value1”);
OR
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
String message = extras.getString(“Value1”);

The selection of checkbox can be check with the method isChecked() and text can be retrieved
by getText().

PROCEDURE

 Start Android Studio and create a new Android Studio project.

 Call application "ExplictIII" and change the company domain to

"android.example.com." Choose the same Minimum SDK that used in the previous
projects.

RESET BUTTON
AIM
To understand retrieve value from EditText and set value to the TextView on same activity.
THEORY

EditText is a subclass of TextView with text editing operations. We often use EditText in our
applications in order to provide an input or text field, especially in forms.getText() method to
get the text entered in the EditText views. But getText()method returns an Editable instance
and therefore we have typecasted it to convert it into String for further use. This can be done
by using the toString() method.

In Android, TextView displays text to the user and optionally allows them to edit it
programmatically. TextView code in JAVA:

TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);

textView.setText("AbhiAndroid"); //set text for text view

PROCEDURE

Start Android Studio and create a new Android Studio project.

 Call application "ExplictII" and change the company domain to "android.example.com."

Choose the same Minimum SDK that used in the previous projects.
 Choose Empty Activity for the project template. Click Next.
 Accept the default activity name (MainActivity). Click Finish.

Define the layout for the main activity

 Open res/layout/activity_main.xml. In the Layout Editor.

 Add a Button,four TextViews,two EditText to the layout in any position.

In java file
 Create objects of Button ,EditText and TextView class
 Set a click listener on the submit button object
 Retrieve the values from two EditText.

Department of Computer Engineering, GPTC Perumbavoor 40

 Invoke setText() method of EditText class to display it.
 Set a click listener on the reset button object
 Invoke setText() method of EditText class to reset it
 Execute the application by clicking the menu Run -> Run

MAKE A PHONE CALL

AIM:

To implement phone call in android studio

THEORY

Android provides Built-in applications for phone calls, in some occasions we may need to make
a phone call through our application. This could easily be done by using implicit Intent with
appropriate actions. Also, we can use PhoneStateListener and TelephonyManager classes, in
order to monitor the changes in some telephony states on the device. ACTION_CALL action
trigger built-in phone call functionality available in Android device. Following is simple syntax
to create an intent with ACTION_CALL action

Intent phoneIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);

ACTION_DIAL action can be used instead of ACTION_CALL, in that case we will have option to
modify hardcoded phone number before making a call instead of making a direct call.To make
a phone call at a given number 91-000-000-0000, we need to specify tel: as URI using setData()
method as follows −

phoneIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:91-000-000-0000"));

To make a phone call, Android need CALL_PHONE permission .In Manifest.xml file add this

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />

PROCEDURE

1.Open Android Studio and start create a new project with an empty activity called MainActivity

2.Add a TextView,EditText and button on layout

3. To make call requests, add call permissions in AndroidManifest.xml.
