Collect with toList() and toSet() Elements from a Stream can be easily collected into a container by using the Stream.collect operation: System.out.println(Arrays .asList("apple", "banana", "pear", "kiwi", "orange") .stream() .filter...

We can create an ArrayList (following the List interface): List aListOfFruits = new ArrayList(); Java SE 5 List<String> aListOfFruits = new ArrayList<String>(); Java SE 7 List<String> aListOfFruits = new ArrayList<>(); Now, use the method add to add a String: ...

Sorting lists Prior to Java 8, it was necessary to implement the java.util.Comparator interface with an anonymous (or named) class when sorting a list1: Java SE 1.2 List<Person> people = ... Collections.sort( people, new Comparator<Person>() { public int compare(Pe...

Generics enable classes, interfaces, and methods to take other classes and interfaces as type parameters. This example uses generic class Param to take a single type parameter T, delimited by angle brackets (<>): public class Param<T> { private T value; public T getValue() ...

This is an example of a default build.gradle file in a module. apply plugin: 'com.android.application' android { compileSdkVersion 25 buildToolsVersion '25.0.3' signingConfigs { applicationName { keyAlias 'applicationName' keyPassword 'password...

An abstract class is a class marked with the abstract keyword. It, contrary to non-abstract class, may contain abstract - implementation-less - methods. It is, however, valid to create an abstract class without abstract methods. An abstract class cannot be instantiated. It can be sub-classed (exten...

Product flavors are defined in the build.gradle file inside the android { ... } block as seen below. ... android { ... productFlavors { free { applicationId "com.example.app.free" versionName "1.0-free" } paid { ...

Dependencies can be added for a specific product flavor, similar to how they can be added for specific build configurations. For this example, assume that we have already defined two product flavors called free and paid (more on defining flavors here). We can then add the AdMob dependency for the ...

Resources can be added for a specific product flavor. For this example, assume that we have already defined two product flavors called free and paid. In order to add product flavor-specific resources, we create additional resource folders alongside the main/res folder, which we can then add resourc...

Basic cases int[] numbers1 = new int[3]; // Array for 3 int values, default value is 0 int[] numbers2 = { 1, 2, 3 }; // Array literal of 3 int values int[] numbers3 = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 }; // Array of 3 int values initialized int[][] numbers4 = { { 1, 2...

A Java class can implement multiple interfaces. public interface NoiseMaker { String noise = "Making Noise"; // interface variables are public static final by default String makeNoise(); //interface methods are public abstract by default } public interface FoodEater { ...

This example will start DestinationActivity from OriginActivity. Here, the Intent constructor takes two parameters: A Context as its first parameter (this is used because the Activity class is a subclass of Context) The Class of the app component to which the system should deliver the Intent (i...

This example illustrates sending a String with value as "Some data!" from OriginActivity to DestinationActivity. NOTE: This is the most straightforward way of sending data between two activities. See the example on using the starter pattern for a more robust implementation. OriginActivit...

We can use V put(K key,V value): Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map (optional operation). If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced by the specified value. String currentVal; Map<Integer, String> map = new TreeMap&l...

Examples of using Default Methods introduced in Java 8 in Map interface Using getOrDefault Returns the value mapped to the key, or if the key is not present, returns the default value Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>(); map.put(1, "First element"); map.get(1); ...

Under most circumstances, it is simpler from a code-design standpoint to use existing generic Exception classes when throwing exceptions. This is especially true if you only need the exception to carry a simple error message. In that case, RuntimeException is usually preferred, since it is not a che...

Consider the following JSON string: { "title": "test", "content": "Hello World!!!", "year": 2016, "names" : [ "Hannah", "David", "Steve" ] } This JSON object can...

Create the JSONObject using the empty constructor and add fields using the put() method, which is overloaded so that it can be used with different types: try { // Create a new instance of a JSONObject final JSONObject object = new JSONObject(); // With put you can add a name/va...

// Create a new instance of a JSONArray JSONArray array = new JSONArray(); // With put() you can add a value to the array. array.put("ASDF"); array.put("QWERTY"); // Create a new instance of a JSONObject JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(); try { // Add the JSONAr...

Android logs can be filtered directly from the UI. Using this code public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private final static String TAG1 = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName(); private final static String TAG2 = MainActivity.class.getCanonicalName(); @Override p...
