Custom Grid View in Android/Grid View with icons and text/GridView example in android

Custom Grid View in android/Grid View with icons and text/GridView example in android

Here, I am going to develop an application that displays icon with text as grid view.  In previous example, I showed you to create grid view with icons. In that case, only one xml is used to display the images. In case of custom grid view, you need to create two xml one for gridview and other for icon and text. After that we can inflate these two xml on your activity to create custom grid view

CustomGridViewActivity.java

package com.example;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.GridView;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class CustomGridViewActivity extends Activity {
    private ArrayList<String> textfield;
      private ArrayList<Integer> imagefield;
      private CustomAdapter customadapter;
      /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        GridView gridView=(GridView)findViewById(R.id.gridView1);
        preparetext();
        prepareimage();
 
        customadapter= new CustomAdapter(this, textfield, imagefield);
        gridView.setAdapter(customadapter);
    }
    public void preparetext()
    {
        textfield=new ArrayList<String>();
        textfield.add("Sunday");
        textfield.add("Monday");
        textfield.add("Tuesday");
        textfield.add("Wednessday");
        textfield.add("Thursday");
        textfield.add("Friday");
        textfield.add("Saturday");
    }
    public void prepareimage()
    {
        imagefield=new ArrayList<Integer>();
        imagefield.add(R.drawable.icon);
        imagefield.add(R.drawable.icon);
        imagefield.add(R.drawable.icon);
        imagefield.add(R.drawable.icon);
        imagefield.add(R.drawable.icon);
        imagefield.add(R.drawable.icon);
        imagefield.add(R.drawable.icon);
  
    }
    private class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Object>
    {
            Activity activity;
            ArrayList<String> textfield;
            ArrayList<Integer> imagefield;
      
     public CustomAdapter(Activity context, ArrayList<String> name,ArrayList<Integer> image)
         {             
             super(context, 0);
             activity=context;
             this.textfield=name;
             this.imagefield=image;
    }
  @Override
  public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
  { 
        
            ImageView imgViewFlag;
            TextView txtViewTitle;
            LayoutInflater inflator = activity.getLayoutInflater();
            convertView = inflator.inflate(R.layout.gridview, null);
            txtViewTitle = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
           imgViewFlag = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
           txtViewTitle.setText(textfield.get(position));
           imgViewFlag.setImageResource(imagefield.get(position));
           return convertView;
  }

  @Override
    public int getCount() {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return textfield.size();
    }

    @Override
    public String getItem(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return textfield.get(position);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return 0;
    }

 }
}
main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<TextView 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello"
    />
<GridView
android:id="@+id/gridView1"
android:numColumns="3" 
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</GridView>
</LinearLayout>

Custom Spinner in Android

Custom Spinner in Android/Spinner using custom adapter/spinner with icon and text  In this tutorial, i'll show you to customizing spinner in different methods.  To change the normal display of spinner view, add background image using the code " android:background="@drawable/myspinner_background" in the xml. You can also make it customizable by setting up an xml file in drawable folder Custom display with icon in the spinner   main.xml <? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8" ?> < LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:orientation = "vertical"     android:layout_width = "fill_parent"     android:layout_height = "fill_parent"     >     < Spinner     android:drawSelectorOnTop = "true"     android:id = "@+id/spinner1"     android:layout_width = "match_parent"     android:layout_height = "wrap_content&

Coroutine- A complete tutorial

 What are coroutines? To know about coroutine, first you need to know about asynchronous programming, thread and multithreading concept. What is a thread? Thread describes in which context the function or sequence of instructions should be executed. So, every block of code or functions runs in a thread, right? Also, you can load multiple threads to perform different block of codes  How to start a thread? Thread thread = new Thread(){     public void run(){       System.out.println("This is a thread");     }   }     thread.start(); So when coming to android, before learning about coroutines we need to discuss some scenarios. Normally how an app works when user launch an application. When user launchers the application, a main thread is created. This thread is intended to do small operations like button clicks, UI interaction , small mathematical operations. We cant perform long running operation like file download, database queries, network operations and image
