Create a Project with Android Studio

1.       In Android Studio, create a new project:
o    If you don't have a project opened, in the Welcome screen, click New Project.
o    If you have a project opened, from the File menu, select New Project. The Create New Project screen appears.
2.       Fill out the fields on the screen, and click Next.
It is easier to follow these lessons if you use the same values as shown.
o    Application Name is the app name that appears to users. For this project, use "My First App."
o    Company domain provides a qualifier that will be appended to the package name; Android Studio will remember this qualifier for each new project you create.
o    Package name is the fully qualified name for the project (following the same rules as those for naming packages in the Java programming language). Your package name must be unique across all packages installed on the Android system. You can Edit this value independently from the application name or the company domain.

o    Project location is the directory on your system that holds the project files.

1.       Under Select the form factors your app will run on, check the box for Phone and Tablet.

2.       For Minimum SDK, select API 8: Android 2.2 (Froyo).
The Minimum Required SDK is the earliest version of Android that your app supports, indicated using the API level. To support as many devices as possible, you should set this to the lowest version available that allows your app to provide its core feature set. If any feature of your app is possible only on newer versions of Android and it's not critical to the app's core feature set, you can enable the feature only when running on the versions that support it (as discussed in Supporting Different Platform Versions).
5.      Leave all of the other options (TV, Wear, and Glass) unchecked and click Next.

Activities

An activity is one of the distinguishing features of the Android framework. Activities provide the user with access to your app, and there may be many activities. An application will usually have a main activity for when the user launches the application, another activity for when she selects some content to view, for example, and other activities for when she performs other tasks within the app. See Activities for more information.
6.      Under Add an activity to <template>, select Blank Activity and click Next.
7.      Under Customize the Activity, change the Activity Name to MyActivity. The Layout Name changes toactivity_my, and the Title to MyActivity. The Menu Resource Name is menu_my.
8.      Click the Finish button to create the project.

Kotlin - The official language for android development.

Image
Kotlin  Kotlin  is a  statically-typed   programming language  that runs on the  Java Virtual Machine  and also can be compiled to  JavaScript  source code. Its primary development is from a team of  JetBrains  programmers based in  Saint Petersburg , Russia (the name comes from  Kotlin Island , near St. Petersburg). [3]  While not syntax compatible with Java, Kotlin is designed to interoperate with  Java  code and is reliant on Java code from the existing  Java Class Library , such as the  collections framework . Kotlin is similar to Apple's  Swift . History In July 2011 JetBrains unveiled Project Kotlin, a new language for the JVM, which had been under development for a year. [5] JetBrains lead Dmitry Jemerov said that most languages did not have the features they were looking for, with the exception of Scala. However, he cited the slow compile time of Scala as an obvi...

Running Your App

Image
If you followed the   previous lesson   to create an Android project, it includes a default set of "Hello World" source files that allow you to immediately run the app. How you run your app depends on two things: whether you have a real device running Android and whether you're using Android Studio. This lesson shows you how to install and run your app on a real device and on the Android emulator, and in both cases with either Android Studio or the command line tools. Run on a Real Device If you have a device running Android, here's how to install and run your app. Set up your device 1.        Plug in your device to your development machine with a USB cable. If you're developing on Windows, you might need to install the appropriate USB driver for your device. For help installing drivers, see the  OEM USB Drivers  document. 2.        Enable  USB debugging  on your device. On Android 4....

Free Push Notification using onesignal - Android Part 2

Create notification The Create Notification method is used when you want your server to programmatically send notifications to a segment or individual users. You may target users in one of three ways using this method: by  Segment , by  Filter , or by  Device . At least one targeting parameter must be specified. You may only use one method of targeting users If a targeting parameter of one type is used, then targeting parameters from other types may not be used. For instance, you cannot use the  included_segments  parameter (from segments) with the  filters . Send to Segments Segments  are the most common way developers send notifications via OneSignal. Sending to segments is easy: you simply specify which segments you want to send to, and, optionally, which ones you don't. Send to a specific segment - Create notification class PhotoTask extends AsyncTask<String,String,String> { @Override protected String do...
