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...

An interface can extend another interface via the extends keyword. public interface BasicResourceService { Resource getResource(); } public interface ExtendedResourceService extends BasicResourceService { void updateResource(Resource resource); } Now a class implementing ExtendedR...

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...

// 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...

Custom filters can be set and save from the UI. In the AndroidMonitor tab, click on the right dropdown (must contains Show only selected application or No filters) and select Edit filter configuration. Enter the filter you want And use it (you can selected it from the same dropdown) Important...

Two methods in java.util.Collection create an array from a collection: Object[] toArray() <T> T[] toArray(T[] a) Object[] toArray() can be used as follows: Java SE 5 Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>(); set.add("red"); set.add("blue"); ...

Methods can also have generic type parameters. public class Example { // The type parameter T is scoped to the method // and is independent of type parameters of other methods. public <T> List<T> makeList(T t1, T t2) { List<T> result = new ArrayList<T&...

When we create a button in layout, we can use the android:onClick attribute to reference a method in code to handle clicks. Button <Button android:width="120dp" android:height="wrap_content" android:text="Click me" android:onClick="handleCl...

When we create any View in layout, we can use the android:onClick attribute to reference a method in the associated activity or fragment to handle the click events. XML Layout <Button android:id="@+id/button" ... // onClick should reference the method in your activity or fra...

Gradle (Module:app) Configuration android { .... dataBinding { enabled = true } } Data model public class Item { public String name; public String description; public Item(String name, String description) { this.name = name; this.descr...

If your model has private methods, the databinding library still allows you to access them in your view without using the full name of the method. Data model public class Item { private String name; public String getName() { return name; } } Layout XML <?xml versi...

Data model public class Item { private String name; public String getName() { return name; } } Layout XML You must import referenced classes, just as you would in Java. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layout xmlns:android="h...

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...

/** * Interface with default method */ public interface Printable { default void printString() { System.out.println( "default implementation" ); } } /** * Class which falls back to default implementation of {@link #printString()} */ public class WithDefault...

You can as well access other interface methods from within your default method. public interface Summable { int getA(); int getB(); default int calculateSum() { return getA() + getB(); } } public class Sum implements Summable { @Override public int get...
