Whenever we create a mobile application, we want our app to be compatible with as many different devices as possible. For Android, this means designing for devices with a range of hardware, software and screen configurations, but if we want our app to reach the largest possible audience, then we have to move beyond Android and make your app available on other mobile platforms as well. For example, you have to create an app for the android device but later on you have planned to target your app for iPhone and iPad then you need to port complete code to IOS and that is not an easy task, its required huge time and effort even for maintenance. Every single code change needs to write for both platforms. So in this post  Creating a cross platform Mobile App with Flutter and Dart we are going to learn how to develop an application which runs cross the platform, i.e the same code base can be used for Android and IOS both. Installing the Flutter and Dart Plugin in Android Studio for Cr...

In this article, we will cover some basic syntax of Kotlin. Like for, dowhile and while loop, if and when control operator, downTo , step , in and its use. These are first and the very basic concept of any programming language. Using the if control operator in Kotlin If the conditional operator in Kotlin is similar to the java and it can be used in the same as like into the java only difference as normal is that we don't require ";"  operator at the end of every line. var a=11 var b=20 if(a < b){ println("$a is less then $b" ) } Output:- 11 is less then 20 Using the if with else control operator in Kotlin we can use the traditional if else statement like we use in the java and syntax for this as given below. println("Enter the number:") var c = readLine() var a=c!!.toInt() var b=20 if(a < b){ println("$a is less then $b" ) } else{ println("$a is greater then $b")...

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 ...

Fingerprint Authentication is essential authorization method for App. It does not mean that current method using pin and password is not good. Existing method is also very useful but the Fingerprint Authentication is unique and it's almost impossible to guess. Fingerprint Authentication feature has been released from Android 6.(M) onward.   In Following tutorial and example shows how to implement Fingerprint Authentication in your application. The benefit of using the Fingerprint Scan Authentication 1 . The main benefit of this is that your identity is never break even after your phone gets misplaced. It doesn't matter how? 2 . It is very Fast, Convenient and Reliable way to Authenticate. 3 . Fingerprints are always unique so its assure that your app will only get unlocked by you. 4 . It will make the online transaction more secure and you can verify your app by just by scanning the Finger. The final app will look as below after implementation. Create the Project First of all, ...

First of all, we will take look at some of the common View used for Android app development and how to use it using the Kotlin language. TextView TextView is very common view in android app development. Declare the TextView in Kotlin There is two way to declare the View using the Kotlin one is the Java way and other is the Kotlin way. Below is the Java way to declare the TextView Declare the TextView in the XML file, there is no any difference in the declaration. <TextView android:id="@+id/textview" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginEnd="8dp" android:layout_marginStart="8dp" android:layout_marginTop="8dp" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> Initialize the TextView an...

Push notifications are the very useful way to keep your user engagement by sharing the valuable information to the user. So today in this tutorial we implement the Push Notification for Android App. This tutorial has two parts First Create the Project and setup the Project on Firebase Cloud Messaging Second Implement the Code on Android App So let's start the action and create a Simple Project in Android Studio and give a nice name like Push Notification. Setup the Firebase Cloud Messaging So before starting the coding for your app, you need to create a project on google firebase cloud. So kindly go the firebase console . If you don't create the any project before then you have to create a new project inside the firebase console. So input the details of your project like given below and create the project. Once you have created the project as above then we have to create the app by selecting the type as android as given below. After the above steps, you will get the opt...

Android Storage Manager is the system service which provides the functionality to list and access the all Storage Volume of an Android Device. We always required to save and read the files from Internal and External storage depending on the app requirement but accessing that SDCARD is sometimes difficult. So in this tutorial, we will explore the way to how to access the storage volume using Storage Manager as well as other methods. Let's create a sample project to go step wise step in this article. Create an instance of Storage Manager system Service in Android First of all, we are going to find the way how to list all SDCARD using the Storage Manager and Storage Volume system service. So let's create the instance of Storage Manager system service as given below. Java StorageManager storageManager= (StorageManager) this.getSystemService(Context.STORAGE_SERVICE); Kotlin var storageManager:StorageManager = this.getSystemService(Context.STORAGE_SERVICE) as StorageManager Here in a...
