 Connecting Real Device with
Android Studio
• On an Android based mobile phone, go to:
●
Settings -> About Phone
●
and tap “Build Number” 6 or 7 times. It will enable
Developer Options in the settings.
●
Now turn ON this Developer Options and USB
Debugging inside this menu as well.
●
Your device will now be listed in Available Devices
drop down in the Android Studio.
 Let’s add some Action!
• Click event on a Button:
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="sumCalc"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Sum" />
• SumCalc is a function defined in your MainActivity.java
 Responding to Click
Events
• The Activity hosting the layout must then implement
the corresponding method.
• The method you declare in the android:onClick
attribute must have a signture exactly as follows:
●
Be public
●
Return void
●
Define a view as its only parameter (this will be
the View that was clicked)
 Responding to Click
Events
public void sumCalc(View view) {
// responding click event
}
 Responding to Click
Events
• Using OnClickListener:
Button button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_send);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// Do something in response to button click
}
});
 Android Studio Practical
• Let’s create a simple app which adds two numbers
(from EditText fields) and display their sum in a
TextView.
• Time to start recall concepts of Java.
