2. what will we cover?
3. New York Times API Lab what will we cover? Breakout rooms Twitter Part 2: Concepts Live Coding: Passing Data Deonna’s opinions on Android that no one asked for (time permitting)
4. twitter part 2: concepts
5. Character Count Compose Passing Data twitter part 2: user stories https://courses.codepath.org/courses/android_university/unit/4#!assignment
6. twitter part 2: app bar
7. Handle clicks AppBar Setup Create menu XML Inflate menu https://guides.codepath.com/android/using-the-app-toolbar
8. Creating Menu XML https://guides.codepath.com/android/Defining-The-ActionBar#adding-action-items // res/menu/menu_main.xml <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"> <item android:id="@+id/compose" android:icon="@drawable/ic_compose" app:showAsAction="ifRoom" android:title="Compose"> </item> <item android:id="@+id/profile" android:icon="@drawable/ic_profile" app:showAsAction="ifRoom" android:title="Profile"> </item> </menu>
9. Inflating the Menu https://guides.codepath.com/android/Defining-The-ActionBar#adding-action-items // MainActivity.java public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // This adds items to the AppBar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu); return true; } }
10. Handling Clicks https://guides.codepath.com/android/Defining-The-ActionBar#handling-actionbar-clicks // MainActivity.java @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { // Handle clicks on the app bar items switch (item.getItemId()) { case R.id.compose: composeMessage(); return true; case R.id.profile: showProfileView(); return true; default: return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } }
11. twitter part 2: passing data between activities
12. Intent Review https://guides.codepath.com/android/Using-Intents-to-Create-Flows#passing-data-to-launched-activities // ActivityOne.java public void launchComposeView() { // First param is the context // Second param is the activity to launch Intent i = new Intent(ActivityOne.this, ActivityTwo.class); // Put data into the bundle for access in the second // activity i.putExtra("username", "deonna"); // Bring up the second activity startActivity(i); } // ActivityTwo.java protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // Can access any data passed from ActivityOne String username = getIntent().getStringExtra("username"); doSomethingWithUsername(username); }
13. Handle Intent in MainActivity Passing Data Between Activities Store data in new activity Intent Finish new activity Start new activity from MainActivity https://guides.codepath.com/android/Using-Intents-to-Create-Flows#passing-data-to-launched-activities
14. Starting New Activity https://guides.codepath.com/android/Using-Intents-to-Create-Flows#passing-data-to-launched-activities // MainActivity.java // REQUEST_CODE can be any value we want // REQUEST_CODE is used to determine the result type later private final int REQUEST_CODE = 20; public void onClick(View view) { Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this, ComposeActivity.class); startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_CODE); }
15. Storing and Sending Data https://guides.codepath.com/android/Using-Intents-to-Create-Flows#passing-data-to-launched-activities // ComposeActivity.java // This activity is launched for a result public void onDone(View v) { EditText tweet = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.tweet); Intent data = new Intent(); // Pass relevant data back as a result data.putExtra("new tweet", tweet.getText().toString()); setResult(RESULT_OK, data); // Close the activity and pass data to parent finish(); }
16. Handling Data https://guides.codepath.com/android/Using-Intents-to-Create-Flows#passing-data-to-launched-activities // MainActivity.java // Time to handle the result of ComposeActivity @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { if (resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == REQUEST_CODE) { // Extract tweet value String newTweet = data.getStringExtra("new tweet"); doSomethingWithNewTweet(newTweet); } }
