Angular 4 are now released and available for install and upgrade

Angular 4 has been released and now available for download, it is a major release after 2.x.x and it is backward compatible with 2.x.x.

What is new in Angular 4


Angular 4 is smaller and faster than 2.x.x version as per the official post by angular over all its reduce by 60% of the size of the generated component code.

Animation package has been taken out from @angular/core and bundled inside their own package. So if anyone not using the animation then it reduces the size of your package. However, animation can be added by importing the BrowserAnimationsModule from @angular/platform-browser/animations to your main NgModule.

There are many more features which have been updated in the Angular 4 you can check out more here.

How to upgrade to Angular 4


For updating to angular 4 follow the below steps.
On Linux/Mac:
npm install @angular/{common,compiler,compiler-cli,core,forms,http,platform-browser,platform-browser-dynamic,platform-server,router,animations}@latest typescript@latest --save

On Windows:
npm install @angular/common@latest @angular/compiler@latest @angular/compiler-cli@latest @angular/core@latest @angular/forms@latest @angular/http@latest @angular/platform-browser@latest @angular/platform-browser-dynamic@latest @angular/platform-server@latest @angular/router@latest @angular/animations@latest typescript@latest --save

Then for using the Animation in angular your need to import the same from @angular/platform-browser/animations in your root NgModule. Without this, your code will compile and run, but animations will trigger an error. Imports from @angular/core were deprecated, use imports from the new package import { trigger, state, style, transition, animate } from '@angular/animations';.

Then we can use the normal ng server or NPM command to run and test our app.

Kotlin Parcelable Array Objects Send To Activity

We know that IPC (Inter Process Communication) between the activity is an extremely important part of any application development. We often required that we need to send some data to other activity. For example, we may be required to send an array of data, data could be an Integer, String, Long, Double, Float or any other custom data objects. So, In this example, we are going to learn how to implement the Kotlin Parcelable Array object to send the data from one activity to second activity. What is Parcel? The parcel class is designed as a high-performance IPC transport. A Parcel can contain both flattened data that will be unflattened on the other side of the IPC, and references to live IBinde r objects that will result in the other side receiving a proxy IBinder connected with the original IBinder in the Parcel. Create Kotlin Parcelable Array Objects Parcelable is API for placing the arbitrary objects into the Parcel. In Actual in android app development, Parcelable is an interface

Create Custom EditText View in Android

We use the EditText for taking the input from the user and use it at several places in our project. We required to do lots of customization for each time and there are lots of redundant code we write. Writing and managing these redundant codes is very difficult for example if we want to change the look and feel of the view them we need to modify it at each place where our EditText is getting used. So to avoid these kinds of the problem we can create our own Custom EditText View by just. The EditText view is just an extension of the TextView with lots of editing option and properties that required for the user input. How To Create Custom EditText View For creating the Custom EditText we need to extend the AppCompatEditText and override all three constructors of the view as given below. import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Typeface; import android.support.annotation.Nullable; import android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText; import android.util.AttributeSet; public
