Open PDF

How to open PDF in Android?

Open pdf

We have to put the ourexample.pdf in our divice, in this case in Android/data

File file =new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"Android/data/ExampleForm.pdf");

if (file.exists()) {
     Uri path = Uri.fromFile(file);
     Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
     intent.setDataAndType(path, "application/pdf");
     intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

     try {
        startActivity(intent);
     }
        catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
            "No Application Available to View PDF",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }
     }
}

To avoid multiple button click at same time

Bottleneck

Sometimes user can made bottleneck in your app when user click multiple button click at same time. you can avoid, it’s very easy.

To avoid multiple button clik at same time

The standard way to avoid multiple clicks is to save the last clicked time and avoid the other button clicks within 1 second(or any time span).

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener{

     @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        buttonRight = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnRight_activity_main);
        buttonLeft = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnLeft_activity_main);

        buttonLeft.setOnClickListener(this);
        buttonRight.setOnClickListener(this);
    }

    // variable to track event time
    private long mLastClickTime = 0;

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        // Preventing multiple clicks, using threshold of 1 second
        if (SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - mLastClickTime < 1000) {
           return;
        }
        mLastClickTime = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
        pressedOnClick(v);
    }

    public void pressedOnClick(View v){
        switch (v.getId()){
            case R.id.btnLeft_activity_main:
                showToast("Left_activity_main");
                break;

            case R.id.btnRight_activity_main:
                showToast("Right_activity_main");
                break;
        }

    }
}

Video 360

You can build a application with a video 360.

video 360

You can download the project here

The first step:

We have to put in build.gradle, in dependences this line:

compile files('src/main/libs/panframe-1.9.jar')

Then we have to add video in src/raw

Now in our activity we put this code:

Expandable Listview inside scrollview

Expandable listview inside scrollview

When we have a ListView expandable inside ScrollView, we must make this in our layout, always expandable listview must be the last view in our layout:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/activity_expandable_scroll_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fillViewport="true">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
        android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin">

<!-- your code --->

 <ExpandableListView
            android:id="@+id/activity_expandable_list_view"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@color/white"/>

    </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

In your onCreate

mListView = (ExpandableListView) findViewById(R.id.activity_expandable_list_view);
        MyExpandableListAdapter adapter = new MyExpandableListAdapter(this,
                mGroups);
        mListView.setAdapter(adapter);
        mListView.setOnGroupClickListener(new ExpandableListView.OnGroupClickListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onGroupClick(ExpandableListView parent, View v,
                                        int groupPosition, long id) {
                setListViewHeight(parent, groupPosition);
                return false;
            }
        });

You need this function:

    private void setListViewHeight(ExpandableListView listView,
                                   int group) {
        ExpandableListAdapter listAdapter = (ExpandableListAdapter) listView.getExpandableListAdapter();
        int totalHeight = 0;
        int desiredWidth = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listView.getWidth(),
                View.MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
        for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getGroupCount(); i++) {
            View groupItem = listAdapter.getGroupView(i, false, null, listView);
            groupItem.measure(desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);

            totalHeight += groupItem.getMeasuredHeight();

            if (((listView.isGroupExpanded(i)) && (i != group))
                    || ((!listView.isGroupExpanded(i)) && (i == group))) {
                for (int j = 0; j < listAdapter.getChildrenCount(i); j++) {
                    View listItem = listAdapter.getChildView(i, j, false, null,
                            listView);
                    listItem.measure(desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);

                    totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();

                }
            }
        }

        ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
        int height = totalHeight
                + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getGroupCount() - 1));
        if (height < 10)
            height = 200;
        params.height = height;
        listView.setLayoutParams(params);
        listView.requestLayout();

    }

ListView inside ScrollView II

See only one item

You do not have to do anything special in layout.xml file nor handle anything on the parent ScrollView. You only have to handle the child ListView. You can also use this code to use any type of child view inside a ScrollView & perform Touch operations.

ScrollView inside ListView

Just add these lines of code in your java class :

listView.setOnTouchListener(new ListView.OnTouchListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                // Disallow the touch request for parent scroll on touch of child view
                v.getParent().requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                return false;
            }
        });
