richerAndroid

The implementation demonstrates advanced style of Technology:Android programming using the Technology:Android SDK and the Technology:Android Development Tool. It is based on simpleAndroid with more features and functionalities. The application is in the position to explore and edit the company structure. The feature Feature:Closed serialization can save and load company objects. The total and cut features are also implemented. The application demonstarates more listener like the onLongClickListener. This implementation shows how to use defferent dialogs and how to use options menu. Also there are more views like the edit text. The feature Feature:Localization is also implemented. If you change your system language then the application language will also change.

Illustration

Dialogs

AlertDialog

Builder build = new Builder(DepartmentClickActivity.this);
	build.setTitle(R.string.areyousure)
	.setPositiveButton(R.string.yes, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
		@Override
		public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
		...
	})
	.setNegativeButton(R.string.no, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
		@Override
		public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
			dialog.dismiss();
		}
	})
	.show();

An alert dialog is generated with a builder. In line two we set the title of the dialog and in the next lines we set two buttons with their on click listener. In the last line we show the Dialog in front of the active activity.

Custom Dialog

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.setTitle(R.string.createtheemployee);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.newemployee);
((Button)dialog.findViewById(R.id.bt Cancel newemployee)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
	@Override
	public void onClick(View arg0) {
		dialog.dismiss();
	}
});				
dialog.show();

In a custom Dialog we put a view in line three, which we have created in the resources as XML layout. In the last line we show the dialog in front of the active activity.

Options Menu

Create Menu

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
	getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menue, menu);
	menu.getItem(1).setTitle(R.string.addEmployee);
	menu.getItem(0).setTitle(R.string.addDepartment);
	return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

If we click on the options button of our Smartphone then the onCreateOptionsMenu method will be started. In line three we put the created menu layout with the menu inflater. In line four and five we edit the entries of the Menu.

Give functionality

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
	switch (item.getItemId()) {
		case R.id.opt total:{
			Toast.makeText(this, dept.total()+"", Toast.LENGTH SHORT).show();
			return true;
		}
		case R.id.opt cut:{
			dept.cut();
			Toast.makeText(this,R.string.successful, Toast.LENGTH SHORT).show();
			return true;
		}
		...
	}
	return false;
}

With the method onOptionsItemSelected we give the elements of the menu a funtionality.

Edittext

EditText ed name = ((EditText)findViewById(R.id.ed name));
...
ed name.setText(employee.getName());
...
((EditText)findViewById(R.id.ed name)).getText().toString().trim();

With an EditText we can edit the data of an Employee, the name of a Department and the name of the Company. In line three we put a String for example the employee's name, address or salary. After changing the String or after an action of the user we get the String from the edit text in line five.

Architecture

In the package org.softlang.company we define the Object-Model of the company.
The Feature:Total and Feature:Cut is integrated in the Object-Model of the Company.
In values/strings.xml we specify the Strings of the application.
In values-de/strings.xml we specify the Strings of the application to demonstrate the 101feature Feature:Localization.
In layout we define various layouts of the different views.
We implement the activities in the package org.softlang.activities.
Package org.softlang.features provides functionality for the Feature:Restructuring and Feature:Serialization.
The sample company is in the package org.softlang.tests.
