How to Install Android SDK properly in ubuntu 12.04 amd64

Android SDK in ubuntu 12.04 amd64

Android SDK is not working properly in ubuntu 12.04 amd64 , because ubuntu 12.04 64-bit dose not   have  ia32-libs package. So it gives adb error on Eclipse like 

error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This can solve by installing  the required libraries which is for i386 version 

Open the terminal and execute following command 

sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libz1:i386 libc6:i386 libsdl1.2debian:i386

NB: 

If you unable to launch Android emulator, execute the following command which will install ia32-libs package

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

AsyncTask Android example | AsyncTask in Android

In this tutorial you will learn how to use AsyncTask in your application. This AsyncTask class perform background operations and update the results on the UI

AsyncTask has three generic type

• Params, the type of the parameters sent to the task upon execution.
• Progress, the type of the progress units published during the background computation.
• Result, the type of the result of the background computation

Private class ShowDialogAsyncTask extends 
        AsyncTask<Params, Progress, Result>{....}

AsyncTask goes through 4 steps

• onPreExecute(),invoked on the UI thread immediately after the task is executed.
•  doInBackground(Paaram ...),invoked on the background thread immediately after onPreExecute() finishes executing.
• onProgressUpdate(Progress...) invoked on the UI thread after a call to publishProgress(Progress...).
•  onPostExecute(Result), invoked on the UI thread after the background computation finishes.

AndroidDialog   Activity

Override both onCreateDialog(int id) and onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog) methods and add following code which will create your custom Android Dialog.

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.Dialog;

public class AndroidDialog extends Activity {

 final private static int DIALOG_LOGIN = 1;

 @Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_android_dialog);

  Button launch_button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_launch);

  launch_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    showDialog(DIALOG_LOGIN);
   }
  });
 }

 @Override
 protected Dialog onCreateDialog(int id) {

  AlertDialog dialogDetails = null;

  switch (id) {
  case DIALOG_LOGIN:
   LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
   View dialogview = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_layout, null);

   AlertDialog.Builder dialogbuilder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
   dialogbuilder.setTitle("Login");
   dialogbuilder.setView(dialogview);
   dialogDetails = dialogbuilder.create();

   break;
  }

  return dialogDetails;
 }

 @Override
 protected void onPrepareDialog(int id, Dialog dialog) {

  switch (id) {
  case DIALOG_LOGIN:
   final AlertDialog alertDialog = (AlertDialog) dialog;
   Button loginbutton = (Button) alertDialog
     .findViewById(R.id.btn_login);
   Button cancelbutton = (Button) alertDialog
     .findViewById(R.id.btn_cancel);
   final EditText userName = (EditText) alertDialog

How to Check Android Network / Internet Connectivity Status

It is not complex to Check Android Network / Internet Connectivity Status, bellow DetectConnection class
will help you to check Android Network / Internet Connectivity Status. Here I am going to load Android Wireless & Network Setting if device is not connected to any Network.

• Create an Android project called CheckConnection , visit my previous post  First Android Application in Eclipse Hello world Android Example

CheckConnectionActivity Activity will load Wireless & Network Setting if your Android device is not connected to the Network.

package com.jsupport;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;

public class CheckConnectionActivity extends Activity {

 @Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.check_connection);

  Button check_connection = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_checkConnection);

  check_connection.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    if (DetectConnection
      .checkInternetConnection(CheckConnectionActivity.this)) {
     Toast.makeText(CheckConnectionActivity.this,
       "You have Internet Connection", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
       .show();
    } else {
     Toast.makeText(CheckConnectionActivity.this,
       "You Do not have Internet Connection",
       Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

     CheckConnectionActivity.this.startActivity(new Intent(
       Settings.ACTION_WIRELESS_SETTINGS));
    }
   }
  });
 }
}

Create DetectConnection class

Context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE)

which will gives the Network information, network availability and the connectivity status of the device

package com.jsupport;

package com.jsupport;

import android.content.Context;
import android.net.ConnectivityManager;

public class DetectConnection {

 public static boolean checkInternetConnection(Context context) {

  ConnectivityManager con_manager = (ConnectivityManager) context
    .getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);

  if (con_manager.getActiveNetworkInfo() != null
    && con_manager.getActiveNetworkInfo().isAvailable()
    && con_manager.getActiveNetworkInfo().isConnected()) {
   return true;
  } else {
   return false;
  }
 }
}

Add following permission to your AndroidManifest.xml to allow internet connection and to access Network Settings

< uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
< uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Create Dynamic JButton with Image and ActionListener - Java Swing

In this tutorial you will learn how to create JButton dynamically with Image and the ActionListener . You will be able to change the button height , width horizontal gap and vertical gap in one place.

I have create dummy database class which will return the Main menu items and the Sub menu items.You will see the Main menu item in your JFrame. If you select main Item (FOOD) from the button panel it will load Sub Items from the dummy database class (sub items of the FOOD)

Here are the screen shots

Main menu items

Sub menu items

Create Main Frame

Open NetBeans and create New Project, name it as DynamicButton

• Add New JFrame Form give class name as DynamicSwingButton
• Add these code to your DynamicSwingButton class and import relevant classes and interfaces

  private final static int button_width   =   145;        // button width
private final static int button_height  =   140;        // button height
private final static int horizontalGap  =   10;         // horizontal gap in button
private final static int verticalGap    =   10;         // verticle gap in button
private final static int numberOfColumns=   4;          // number of colums in the button panel
private final static int fontSize       =   11;         // font size of button name
private final static int fontType       =   Font.BOLD;  // font type
private final static String fontName    =   "Thoma";    // font name
private final static Color  fontColor   =   new Color(0, 51, 255);  // font colot

• Add Scroll Pane to your Frame from the palette and set the height and width to Scroll Pane
• Add JPanel to the Scroll Pane and change the panel variable name as pnl_button
• Add bellow function to your DynamicSwingButton class

    private void addMainMenue() {

pnl_button.removeAll();
repaint();

Image img, sub;
ImageIcon icon;
String imagePath,imag = "/com/images/";

ArrayList menue = new ArrayList();
ArrayList itemName = new ArrayList();

buttons[i].setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 1, 13));
buttons[i].setForeground(new java.awt.Color(0, 51, 255));

buttons[i].addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        String choice = e.getActionCommand();
        addSubmenue(choice);

int bRows   =   bLength/numberOfColumns +1;

L1:    for (int j = 0; j <bRows; j++) {
    vGap = 10;
    for (int k = 0; k < numberOfColumns; k++) {

        pnl_button.add(buttons[b], new org.netbeans.lib.awtextra.AbsoluteConstraints(vGap, hGap, button_width, button_height));
        repaint();
