A ConstraintLayout is a ViewGroup which allows you to position and size widgets in a flexible way.

There are currently various types of constraints that you can use: Relative positioningMarginsCentering positioningCircular positioningVisibility behaviorDimension constraintsChainsVirtual Helpers objects
In this tutorial we will look about Relative positioning more detailly.

Relative positioning
Relative positioning is one of the basic building block of creating layouts in ConstraintLayout. Those constraints allow you to position a given widget relative to another one. You can constrain a widget on the horizontal and vertical axis: Horizontal Axis: left, right, start and end sidesVertical Axis: top, bottom sides and text baseline Here is the list of available constraints. layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOflayout_constraintLeft_toRightOflayout_constraintRight_toLeftOflayout_constraintRight_toRightOflayout_constraintTop_toTopOflayout_constraintTop_toBottomOflayout_constraintBottom_toTopOfl…

Here is the most easier way to showing menu items on list items get selected. Your Activity will look like this public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { private RecyclerView myList; private int selectedCount; private ArrayList list; private MyListAdapter adapter; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar); myList = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.myList); myList.setHasFixedSize(true); myList.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this)); list = new ArrayList<>(); for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) { list.add(new Item("Row " + (i + 1))); } adapter = new MyListAdapter(list, this); myList.setAdapter(adapter); } @Override public boo…

I bet, You will never expect this strange answer. I am leaving it to you right now. Here is the code. Integer[] list = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}; ArrayList integerArrayList = new ArrayList<>(); integerArrayList.addAll(Arrays.asList(list)); for (int i = 0; i < integerArrayList.size(); i++) { if (integerArrayList.get(i) % 2 == 0) { integerArrayList.remove(i); } }
Do you know the size of integerArrayList now? If your answer is 0, then its wrong. Shocked right? Here is the explanation. Let's deep dive into the code now. Add a Log inside the if statement. Integer[] list = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}; ArrayList integerArrayList = new ArrayList<>(); integerArrayList.addAll(Arrays.asList(list)); for (int i = 0; i < integerArrayList.size(); i++) { if (integerArrayList.get(i) % 2 == 0) { Log.v(TAG, "Current list data : " + integerArrayList.toString() + ", integerArrayList.get(" + i + ") : " + integerArrayList.get(i)); integ…

You may provide one back button in Android Activity's Toolbar at Top left corner. Default back button is enough. But in recent times this icon is provided for good design looking purpose only.

So simple design looking code shouldn't recreate the previous Activity right?

But in Android up navigation from one Activity to previous Activity will recreate the previous Activity. So the previous Activity's onCreate() method will get called. But sometime we don't want to recreate the previous Activity. Just resume is enough. So we may avoid unwanted coding execution which already executed.

But did you noticed that bottom default back button will not recreate the Activity. It will just resume the Activity which is in paused state already.

So we may use this default back button's code in up navigation also. Then while tapping up navigation icon also our previous Activity will resume instead of recreate.

Here is the code sample @Override public boolean onOption…

We can add SwitchPreference to PreferenceScreen in xml like below in android
R.xml.switch_preference.xml &lt?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt &ltPreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt &ltSwitchPreference android:key="switch" android:summaryOff="Switch off" android:summaryOn="Switch on" android:title="Switch Preference" /&gt &lt/PreferenceScreen&gt
We have to use PreferenceFragment to access this xml like below. SwitchPreference.java import android.content.SharedPreferences; import android.os.Bundle; import android.preference.PreferenceFragment; import android.preference.PreferenceManager; import android.support.annotation.Nullable; import android.widget.Toast; /** * Created by Guna on 05-10-2017. */ public class SwitchPreference extends PreferenceFragment { @Override public void onCreate(@N…
