  2.   
  3. import android.os.Bundle;  
  4. import android.app.Activity;

  7.   
  8. public class MainActivity extends Activity {  
  9.   
  10.     @Override  
  11.     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
  12.         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
  13.         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
  14.           
  15.         WebView mywebview = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);  
  16.          //mywebview.loadUrl("http://www.youngfilmmakerz.com/");  
  17.           
  18.         /*String data = "<html><body><h1>Hello, younfilmmakerz!</h1></body></html>"; 
  19.         mywebview.loadData(data, "text/html", "UTF-8"); */  
  20.           
  21.         mywebview.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/myresource.html");  
  22.     }  
  23.   
  24.     @Override  
  25.     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {  
  26.         // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.  
  27.         getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);  
  28.         return true;

Kotlin - The official language for android development.

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...

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.

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...
