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...

public class SampleAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<SampleAdapter.ViewHolder> { private String[] mDataSet; private OnRVItemClickListener mListener; /** * Provide a reference to the type of views that you are using (custom ViewHolder) */ public static cla...

The following example shows the basics of throwing an exception: public void checkNumber(int number) throws IllegalArgumentException { if (number < 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Number must be positive: " + number); } } The exception is thrown on the 3...

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...

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 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...

Map<Integer, String> map = new HashMap<>(); map.put(1, "First element."); map.put(2, "Second element."); map.put(3, "Third element."); map.clear(); System.out.println(map.size()); // => 0

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...

First example reimplemented in Kotlin and using RxJava for cleaner interaction. import android.view.LayoutInflater import android.view.View import android.view.ViewGroup import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView import rx.subjects.PublishSubject public class SampleAdapter(private val ite...

From the documentation: The exception that is thrown when an application attempts to perform a networking operation on its main thread. This is only thrown for applications targeting the Honeycomb SDK or higher. Applications targeting earlier SDK versions are allowed to do networking on their ma...

In order to compare Strings for equality, you should use the String object's equals or equalsIgnoreCase methods. For example, the following snippet will determine if the two instances of String are equal on all characters: String firstString = "Test123"; String secondString = "Test...

class TrivialClass {} A class consists at a minimum of the class keyword, a name, and a body, which might be empty. You instantiate a class with the new operator. TrivialClass tc = new TrivialClass();

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { System.out.println(i); } The three components of the for loop (separated by ;) are variable declaration/initialization (here int i = 0), the condition (here i < 100), and the increment statement (here i++). The variable declaration is done once as if pl...

int i = 0; while (i < 100) { // condition gets checked BEFORE the loop body executes System.out.println(i); i++; } A while loop runs as long as the condition inside the parentheses is true. This is also called the "pre-test loop" structure because the conditional stateme...
