Android Simple Fragment Example


For creating a fragment we only use two things:-


  1. Fragment class
  2. Fragment xml layout
In the below discussed example we need to show different fragments on button click event. So, we will be creating two layout files and two different classes.

Here goes the code for first Fragment:

FirstFragment.java


package com.example.fragementdemo;

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class FirstFragment extends Fragment {

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.first_fragment_layout, container, false);
return view;
}
}

 
and Layout for this fragment is first_fragment_layout.xml

first_fragment_layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/first_frag_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="#00FF00" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text_frag1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:textSize="20sp"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:text="This is Green Fragment" 
        />

</RelativeLayout>


similarly we make another class for second fragment

Second_Fragment.java

package com.example.fragementdemo;

import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class Second_Fragment extends Fragment {

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.second_fragment_layout, container,false);
return view;
}

}

second_fragment_layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/second_frag_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="#FF0000"
    >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text_frag1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="This is Red Fragment"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:textSize="20sp" />

</RelativeLayout>


once both the activities get created, now we could use them in Mainactivity class, below is the code for MainActivity

MainAcitivity.java

package com.example.fragementdemo;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    Button green_btn, red_btn;
@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    
        green_btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_show_frag);
        
        red_btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_frag2);
        green_btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
FirstFragment first = new FirstFragment();
ft.add(R.id.first_frag_layout, first);//adding fragment to parent layout
ft.addToBackStack("first");//removing on back press
ft.commit();
}
});
        
        
        red_btn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   
    FragmentManager fm1 = getFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction ft1 = fm1.beginTransaction();
    Second_Fragment second = new Second_Fragment();
    ft1.add(R.id.second_frag_layout, second);
    ft1.addToBackStack("second");//removing on back press
    ft1.commit();
    }
    });
    
    
    
    }


  
}


now check the xml file for MainActivity, in this xml file the id for fragment layouts will be same as the id created in first and second fragment layouts.

activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >
    
    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/first_frag_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_below="@+id/btn_show_frag" >
        
        
    </RelativeLayout>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_show_frag"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="18dp"
        android:text="Green" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_frag2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_above="@+id/first_frag_layout"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/first_frag_layout"
        
        android:text="Red" />

    
      <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/first_frag_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_below="@+id/btn_show_frag" >
        
        
    </RelativeLayout>
    
      
        <RelativeLayout
         android:id="@+id/second_frag_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_below="@+id/first_frag_layout">
        
        
    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

There is a single line code written in MainActivity.java, i.e.
 ft.addToBackStack("first");
this will disappear the fragment on back press button click.


That's it. coding is complete, now time to check the Output.


Output:

Android: Login Screen using Fragments

In this tutorial, our focus is on making a User/Member login activity using fragments. With the help of Fragments we will use the same activity to show User login area and also Members Login area. Prerequisite for this tutorial: You should be know how to make an Activity And most importantly you should have prior Knowledge of Fragments. For practising basic Fragment implementation refer to Android Simple Fragment Example      We have used only three activities for this: MainActivity(which represents the Login Screen) Fragments for Members area Fragment for New Users

Simple Login/Register Example using SQLite database

MainActivity.java(login Screen) package com.AndroidDevelopmentGuru.database_new; import java.util.List; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.database.Cursor; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.Toast; public class MainActivity extends Activity {                                 EditText user, pass;                 Button login, not_reg;                 DatabaseHandler db;                 Cursor cursor;                                 @Override                 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {                                 super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);                                 setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Android: Current Location Using Fused APi on Google Maps

This tutorial gives us the simple implementation of "Fused API" to fetch the current location on google map in android. Fused API is latest among all techniques to get the location. It provides you very precise results and also uses less battery of your device. It chooses GPS or Network provider to get to your current location. And it helps your device remember about the last saved location. Let's implement the Fused API to fetch/get the current location. Step 1: Create a new project in Android studio. and select Maps Activity.
