Table Layout

Android TableLayout groups views into rows and columns. You will use the <TableRow> element to build a row in the table. Each row has zero or more cells; each cell can hold one View object.
TableLayout containers do not display border lines for their rows, columns, or cells.
Important Attributes for the Table Layout:

Attribute
Description
android:id
This is the ID which uniquely identifies the layout.
android:collapseColumns
This specifies the zero-based index of the columns to collapse. The column indices must be separated by a comma: 1,2,5
android:stretchColumns
The zero-based index of the columns to stretch. The column indices must be separated by comma: 1,2,5
android:shrinkColumns
The zero-based index of the columns to shrink. The column indices must be separated by comma: 1,2,5



For example, following is the content of activity_main.xml containing Table Layout:
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="#ffffff"

Get Current Location using GPS/Network Provider

Hello to all, Today I teach you that how can we get current location. In android's new SDK tools, LocationManager class does not give any network provider's status. It always gives null value. Still it works in some of the android devices rarely. So that's why I include code for both network provider and gps provider for getting current location.

In the code, if GPS not enable, I show settings alert pop-up, to go settings menu. When you enable GPS, you will get current location after 2-3 seconds. If not, come again to activity and surely get location. Make sure, must add persmi...

MVC Architecture in Android

MVC represents Model-View-Controller Model : Manage the behavior and data of the application R esponds to requests for information about its state (usually from the view) Responds to instructions to change state (usually from the controller) Allows the views to produce updated output View : T ypically a user interface element O ne to one correspondence with a display surface Present the model to the user Generates the output representation to the user Controller : Controls both model and view Accepts input from the user and instructs the model and the view to perform actions based on that input Update view when model changes Update model when user manipulate the input

SQLiteDatabase (Without SqliteOpenHelper class)

SQLite is a open-source relational database, that is used to perform database operations such as creating, storing, manipulating, retrieving and deleting data from the database. SQLitedatabase is used in android in two way: Using SQLiteOpenHelper class Without SQLiteOpenHelper class Here we are going to see the example of sqlitedatabase without SQLiteOpenHelper class. In this example, we will do following: Create a database Create a table Insert values into table Retrieve values Update values Delete values Create a database: SQLiteDatabase db=openOrCreateDatabase(DB_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE, null); This opens a database defined in the constant DB_NAME, if it already exists. Else it creates a new database and open it. Create a table: db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS " + TABLE_NAME + " (ID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, NAME TEXT, DESIGNATION TEXT, CONTACT NUMBER, AREA TEXT, CITY TEXT);"); This creates ...
