Android Material Design (with Design support Library) - 4




Introducing Design Support Library , to use Material design component in older version API - android 2.1 and above. You’ll find a navigation drawer view, floating labels for editing text, a floating action button, snackbar, tabs, and a motion and scroll framework to tie them together.

I have used my previous example, so its easy for demonstrate. 

Note:

  • Update your Android SDK support repositories, support library if not updated
  • used compileSdkVersion 'android-MNC' for Android M but you can change it to build in older API
add dependencies in build.gradle file
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0'

start with navigation drawer, its very easy to use

lets, design for drawer

 <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"  
   android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   android:fitsSystemWindows="true">  
   <!-- your content layout -->  
   <!--<FrameLayout  
     android:id="@+id/container"  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="match_parent" />-->  
   <include layout="@layout/about_fragment"></include>  
   <android.support.design.widget.NavigationView  
     android:id="@+id/nav_draw"  
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_height="match_parent"  
     android:layout_gravity="start"  
     app:headerLayout="@layout/drawer_header"  
     app:menu="@menu/drawer" />  
 </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>  

drawer menus will be a collection of checkable menu items


 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
 <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">  
   <group android:checkableBehavior="single">  
     <item  
       android:id="@+id/navigation_item_1"  
       android:checked="true"  
       android:icon="@drawable/ic_drawer_map"  
       android:title="@string/title_section1">  
     </item>  
     <item  
       android:id="@+id/navigation_item_2"  
       android:icon="@drawable/ic_drawer_people_met"  
       android:title="@string/title_section2" />  
     <item  
       android:id="@+id/navigation_item_3"  
       android:icon="@drawable/ic_drawer_experts"  
       android:title="@string/title_section3" />  
     <item  
       android:id="@+id/navigation_item_4"  
       android:icon="@drawable/ic_drawer_explore"  
       android:title="@string/title_section4" />  
     <item  
       android:id="@+id/navigation_item_5"  
       android:icon="@drawable/ic_drawer_social"  
       android:title="@string/title_section5" />  
     <item  
       android:id="@+id/navigation_item_6"  
       android:icon="@drawable/ic_drawer_social"  
       android:title="@string/title_section6" />  
     <item  
       android:id="@+id/navigation_subheader"  
       android:title="@string/navigation_subheader">  
       <menu>  
         <item  
           android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_1"  
           android:title="@string/navigation_sub_item_1" />  
         <item  
           android:id="@+id/navigation_sub_item_2"  
           android:title="@string/navigation_sub_item_2" />  
       </menu>  
     </item>  
   </group>  
 </menu>  

use navigation item Listener


 public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener  

add override method


 @Override  
   public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {  
     return false;  
   }  

in onCreate,


 NavigationView nav_draw = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nav_draw);  
 nav_draw.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);  

Add Action, on Navigation Item select change onNavigationItemSelected method,


 @Override  
   public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {  
     if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.navigation_item_1) {  
       Snackbar  
           .make(fab, "First item Selected", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)  
               //.setAction(R.string.snackbar_action, myOnClickListener)  
           .show();  
     } else if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.navigation_item_2) {  
       //startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, DetailActivity.class));  
       if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {  
         getWindow().setExitTransition(new Explode());  
         Intent intent = new Intent(this, DetailActivity.class);  
         startActivity(intent,  
             ActivityOptionsCompat  
                 .makeSceneTransitionAnimation(this).toBundle());  
       } else {  
         startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, DetailActivity.class));  
       }  
     } else if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.navigation_item_3) {  
       String url = "http://www.dj-android.blogspot.com";  
       Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);  
       i.setData(Uri.parse(url));  
       startActivity(i);  
     } else if (menuItem.getItemId() == R.id.navigation_item_4) {  
       /*Snackbar  
           .make(root, "", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)  
               //.setAction(R.string.snackbar_action, myOnClickListener)  
           .setActionTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorRed))  
           .show();*/  
     }  
     menuItem.setChecked(true);  
     drawer_layout.closeDrawers();  
     return false;  
   }  

all this about navigation drawer view, no need to add extra fragment for drawer,

Floating Action Button



The Design library’s FloatingActionButton gives you a single consistent implementation, by default colored using the colorAccent from your theme.

 <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton  
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_margin="16dp"  
     android:clickable="true"  
     android:id="@+id/fab_action"  
     android:src="@drawable/ic_discuss"  
     app:layout_anchor="@id/appbar"  
     app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end" />  


Collapsing Toolbars




Adding a Toolbar directly to an AppBarLayout gives you access to the enterAlwaysCollapsed and exitUntilCollapsed scroll flags, but not the detailed control on how different elements react to collapsing. For that, you can use CollapsingToolbarLayout.


 <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
   xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"  
   android:id="@+id/main_content"  
   android:layout_width="match_parent"  
   android:layout_height="match_parent"  
   android:fitsSystemWindows="true">  
   <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout  
     android:id="@+id/appbar"  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="200dip"  
     android:fitsSystemWindows="true"  
     android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">  
     <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout  
       android:id="@+id/collapsing_toolbar"  
       android:layout_width="match_parent"  
       android:layout_height="match_parent"  
       android:fitsSystemWindows="true"  
       app:contentScrim="?attr/colorPrimary"  
       app:expandedTitleMarginEnd="64dp"  
       app:expandedTitleMarginStart="48dp"  
       app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">  
       <ImageView  
         android:id="@+id/backdrop"  
         android:layout_width="match_parent"  
         android:layout_height="match_parent"  
         android:fitsSystemWindows="true"  
         android:scaleType="centerCrop"  
         android:src="@drawable/my_pic"  
         app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" />  
       <android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar  
         android:id="@+id/toolbar"  
         android:layout_width="match_parent"  
         android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"  
         app:layout_collapseMode="pin"  
         app:popupTheme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" />  
     </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>  
   </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>  
   <android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="match_parent"  
     android:padding="10dip"  
     app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">  
     <TextView  
       android:id="@+id/textView"  
       android:padding="10dip"  
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
       android:elevation="5dp"  
       android:textColor="@color/textColorPrimary"  
       android:background="@drawable/myrect"  
       android:text="@string/intro"  
       android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />  
   </android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>  
   <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton  
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
     android:layout_margin="16dp"  
     android:clickable="true"  
     android:id="@+id/fab_action"  
     android:src="@drawable/ic_discuss"  
     app:layout_anchor="@id/appbar"  
     app:layout_anchorGravity="bottom|right|end" />  
 </android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

  1. Great code Dhaval. It's definitely helping me achieve what I am trying to do with my app. I have been trying to integrate the tabs/viewpager into the collapsible toolbar though and so far am not having a lot of luck. I'm not too far off though, wondered if you might give me inspiration?

    My ActivityMain.xml is much like yours:

    DrawerLayout

    Include FragmentLayout

    NavigationView

    And my FragmentLayout looks like this:

    CoordinatorLayout

    AppBarLayout

    CollapsingToolbarLayout

    ImageView (backdrop)

    Toolbar

    TabLayout

    ViewPager

    NestedScrollView

    TextView

    FloatingActionButton


    My problem is really only that the Tabs are overlayed over the Toolbar. They cover the up button, when I want them to appear under the backdrop image, scrolling with it, and pinning to the top of the screen.

    Also, the viewpagers will swipe from side to side, but will not scroll the page upwards. The extra textview shows up as a little box because of the background rect, and I can scroll the toolbar up and down by clicking on it.

    If you have any ideas or code to share, or you would like me to post you some more detailed code, I would love to hear from you. Thanks again for sharing your work!

Connecting mysql Database in ANDROID using PHP & JSON

 To implement this tutorial you should have basic knowledge of how to run PHP script and start server.  If we talk about client-server architecture, client is Android device and in server side there is a combination of PHP Script and MySQL. In short, PHP Script sits in middle as shown in image. Lets suppose that we have a MySQL database named Employee, and a table int created, with the following SQL: CREATE TABLE `employee` (   `emp_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,   `emp_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,   PRIMARY KEY  (`emp_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ; The PHP code will be very simple: Now Create Android Project :  The Android part is only a bit more complicated: -use a HttpPost to get the data -convert response to string -parse JSON data in to List In Your First Activity : O/P :
