COMP3670/COMP7090 Lab Exercise: Building an Android Application and try out a number of examples - UI Design, Controls, and Layouts;

Drawing with OpenGL ES graphics; Network Access and Services; Experiment 1: Your first app. Create a new project with using this source in eclipse, try to troubleshoot and debug yourself when you find any package which is missing or method which cannot use. 1. public class HelloAndroid extends Activity { 2. /** Called when the activity is first created. */ 3. @Override 4. public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 5. super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 6. TextView textView = new TextView(this); 7. textView.setText("Hello Android!"); 8. setContentView(textView); 9. } 10. } Some Importance Android API: android.app android.content android.database android.database.sqlite android.graphics android.graphics.drawable android.graphics.glutils android.hardware android.location android.media android.net android.opengl android.os android.provider android.sax android.speech.recognition android.telephony android.telephony.gsm android.text android.text.method android.text.style android.util android.view android.view.animation android.webkit android.widget

Android related file types: Java --- application source files Android itself is written in part by java, but applications must be java development class --- java compiled object file: Compiled by the java virtual machine from a byte code file, before we learned in the j2ee and j2se it is an executable file, but Android is just a transition file dex --- Android platform, executable files: Android provides a virtual machine (Dalvik), this is not the byte code java virtual machine execution, but another byte code: dex bytecode format, the JVM will compile java file Class file, again through the Android platform tools into this Class file dex. APK file ,the installation file --- Android APK package is the package file for Android, an Android installation package includes an Android application with all documents related to, all the necessary files , apk file androidManifest.xml file, application code (dex files), resource files and other files into a compressed package, a project can only execute an apk file once (similar to the exe file).

COMP3670/COMP7090 Experiment 2: Interface Design: Control and Layout Objective Android based programming, UI design. Requirements 1, Understanding the principles of Android programming 2, Master the interface controls designed 3, Master the control program event handling Principle UI Design Principles Process 1, understanding the basic functions of various controls Various controls: Menu TextViewEditText

Button

Radio button

List

ProgressBar;

2, to understand the application layout By various controls layout, we can determine how the object to be displayed on the screen, and also the mutual position relationship. To have a good machine interface, we must have some knowledge of the layout, select the appropriate layout of the arrangements for the various controls. A variety of Layout: AbsoluteLayout FrameLayout GridView LinearLayout ListLayout RadioGroup TableLayout 3. Arranged the layout of various controls by the XML, designe a well-designed user interface. Insert these code into your example:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"

COMP3670/COMP7090
> <TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" /> <EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> <ImageView android:id="@+id/ImageView01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/adr" /> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal"> <Button android:id="@+id/Button01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/btn_name" /> <Button android:id="@+id/Button02" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/stp_name" /> </LinearLayout> <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progressbar01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="20px" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" /> <SeekBar android:id="@+id/seekbar01" android:layout_width="fill_parent"

COMP3670/COMP7090
android:layout_height="20px" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" /> </LinearLayout>

COMP3670/COMP7090 Experiment 3: Drawing with OpenGL ES graphics Objective Draw various graphics on the screen, understanding OpenGL Requirements 1, understand the screen drawing methods 2, understand OpenGL Process 1, draw a straight line, Park, curves and other graphical 2, display a character 3, OpenGL ES Programming Android's graphics system using Client / Server architecture. Server (ie SurfaceFlinger) mainly written in c + + code. Client-side code is divided into two parts, provided by the Java application using the api, the other part is written in c + + by the underlying implementation. Android graphics system draw the screen, using view to develop a Canvas by a surface, which management the view in the drawing operations on the surface. View provides a method, its subclasses (e.g. TextView, Button) on the surface to be painted. OpenGL ES (OpenGL for Embedded Systems) is an embedded application, free of charge, to support full-featured 2D, 3D crossplatform API (OpenGL ES is a royalty-free, cross-platform API for full-function 2D and 3D graphics on embedded systems - including consoles, phones, appliances and vehicles). At present, there are three versions, 1.0,1.1,2.0. OpenGL ES 1.0 specification is based on OpenGL 1.3, OpenGL ES 1.1 is based on OpenGL 1.5 specification, 1.1 is fully compatible with 1.0. OpenGL ES 2.0 is refer to the definition of OpenGL 2.0 specification. To put it simply, OpenGL ES is a simplified version of OpenGL for embedded applications, for standard used android. Api OpenGL ES 1.1 emphasizes hardware acceleration, OpenGL ES 2.0 7

COMP3670/COMP7090 more emphasis on 3D acceleration. OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 has no relationship between the old and new versions, but a relatively, for low-end applications, and the other one for advanced applications, 2.X is not hundred percent compatible with 1.X. Android now supports the 1.X and 2.X. OpenGL ES is designed for embedded and mobile devices, lightweight design of a 2D/3D graphics library, which is based on OpenGL API design, has a subset of three-dimensional OpenGL graphics API. There are three Android OpenGL-related packages: android.opengl javax.microedition.khronos.egl javax.microedition.khronos.opengles Unzipped OpenGL and import to your workspace: Folder Name: hello Main Class: HelloActivity Package: com.android.test

COMP3670/COMP7090 Experiment 4 : Network Access and Services Objective Network access control method for Android Requirements 1, to access a web site from mobile phone 2, data access through the network 3, learn to use the database Principle Network access protocol using Android Process 1, access WEB sites, through the HttpResponse class, read the network data. Android SDK network packets/API:
API android.net Description

Android network access socket. The package includes the URI class, not just the traditional networking
Process an Android http protocol Android Wi-Fi related method Android telephony class contains SMS and telephony method

android.net.http android.net.wifi android.telephony.gsm

Some other packages may needed, refer to J2ME and google:

Try to print web resource into your screen:

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpGet get = new HttpGet(url); HttpResponse response = client.execute(get); HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity(); //entity-1 long length = entity.getContentLength(); InputStream is = entity.getContent(); String s = null; if (is != null) { ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); byte[] buf = new byte[512];

COMP3670/COMP7090
int ch = -1; int count = 0; while ((ch = is.read(buf)) != -1) { baos.write(buf, 0, ch); count += ch; //taskProgress() if (length > 0) { listener.taskProgress(this, count, length); } //100ms Thread.sleep(100); } Log.e("HttpTask", "length=" + baos.toByteArray().length); // s = new String(baos.toByteArray()); } return s;
