Simple RecyclerView example with filter option in Android

Hi Guys, Maybe you all are expert in terms of using RecyclerView in android. This blog is simple example for using filter option with RecyclerView adapter. As for now you will instantiate RecyclerView and set the adapter to RecyclerView as following way. RecyclerView list = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.list); list.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this)); list.setHasFixedSize(true); ArrayList&ltNumber&gt numbers = new ArrayList&lt&gt(); String ONEs[] = {"ZERO", "ONE", "TWO", "THREE", "FOUR", "FIVE", "SIX", "SEVEN", "EIGHT", "NINE", "TEN"}; String TENs[] = {"ZERO", "TEN", "TWENTY", "THIRTY", "FOURTY", "FIFTY", "SIXTY", "SEVENTY", "EIGHTY", "NINETY", "HUNDRED"}; String HUNDREDS[] = {"ZERO", "HUNDRED", "TWO HUND

Drawing Example in Android

Simple drawing example in android.

In Android You can draw using Canvas. First You have to get the touched points to draw. By using onTouchEvent method You can get the touched points from android device. Our onTouchEvent method will be

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
   PathWithPaint pp = new PathWithPaint();
   if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
    path.moveTo(event.getX(), event.getY());
    path.lineTo(event.getX(), event.getY());
   } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
    path.lineTo(event.getX(), event.getY());
   } else if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
    path.lineTo(event.getX(), event.getY());
    mCanvas.drawPath(path, mPaint);
    pp.setPath(path);
    pp.setmPaint(mPaint);
    _graphics1.add(pp);
   }
   invalidate();
   return true;
  }

Now You are going to draw on the touched point. You have to override the onDraw method to draw on the path. The onDraw method will be like as following
  @Override
  public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {

   canvas.drawBitmap(mBitmap, 0, 0, mPaint);

   if (_graphics1.size() > 0) {
    canvas.drawPath(_graphics1.get(_graphics1.size() - 1).getPath(), _graphics1.get(_graphics1.size() - 1).getmPaint());
   }
  }


You can use ColorPicker to get different colors.

Also you can save our drawing as .JPG file using FileOutputStream. Also you can erase previously drawn path and clear the whole drawing. And also you can set border.

Complete Code.

Simple example of OCRReader in Android.

Hi Friends, Maybe you all heard/used text scanning using camera feature or extracting text from Image. But this sample made it very easy for you. You can made it in very simple line of code. You can download the source code from OCRSample and import the library as a module into your project. Example usage : MainActivity.java public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private TextView textView; private final int CAMERA_SCAN_TEXT = 0; private final int LOAD_IMAGE_RESULTS = 1; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); textView = findViewById(R.id.textView); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSele

Simple example of using Spinner in Kotlin | Android

Though Kotlin has lot massive features to speedup the development time, here is the simple way of using Spinner in Android. In Kotlin we don't need to declare and initialize Spinner. We can simply access the id of Spinner from xml. Ex : import android.os.Bundle import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity import android.view.View import android.widget.AdapterView import android.widget.ArrayAdapter import android.widget.Toast import android.widget.Toast.LENGTH_LONG import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.* class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) //String array. val myStrings = arrayOf("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five") //Adapter for spinner mySpinner.adapter = ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_i

Set limit for fraction in decimal numbers in EditText

            Already we know that we can set which type of input the edittext should accept from user using android:inputType="numberDecimal" But there is no predefined function to set the limit for the edittext to How many digit it should accept after the decimal point from user . We can achieve this by using TextWatcher . Full code example. Following program creates a Decimal Filter. DecimalFilter.java import android.text.Editable; import android.text.InputFilter; import android.text.TextWatcher; import android.view.KeyEvent; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnKeyListener; import android.widget.EditText; public class DecimalFilter implements TextWatcher { int count= -1 ; EditText et; Activity activity; public DecimalFilter(EditText edittext, Activity activity) { et = edittext; this.activity = activity; } public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) { if (s.length() > 0) { String str = et.getText().toString(); et.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyL
