} Asynctask This class will allow us to perform background tasks without using neither directly nor Handlers Threads, trying these elements in a fully transparent way to the programmer. When we define a AsyncTask class must define the type of three elements, the input parameters, its progress and outcome. Override onPreExecute(),doInBackground(),onPostExecute(),onProgressUpdate() class RequestTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{ @Override protected void onPreExecute() { new } RequestTask(). execute(url); @Override protected void onProgressUpdate(Integer... values) { } @Override protected String doInBackground(String... uri) { } @Override protected void onPostExecute(String result) { super.onPostExecute(result); } Asynctask onPreExecute, run before executing our task and we can use it to initialize tasks as displaying a progress bar. doInBackground(Params...), here we schedule our background task. Params in the case discussed earlier will be an array of Strings that are passed when calling the execute method. Being a process that can take an indefinite time to complete, we can give feedback to the user thanks to percent complete in publishProgress(Progress. ..) method. publishProgress receives an integer parameter and make the execution of onProgressUpdate method to indicate the user the task percentage. onPostExecute(Result), runs to finish the process in the background. The problem of doInBackground method is blocking the UI, so while this method is running can not get anything in the ui, but if we have no choice ,we can use this code for debug. runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { public void run() { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Example for Toast",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();} }); Singleton Only one instance Application class <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/Theme.Styled" android:name= "com.proyecto.spaincomputing.singleton.MySingleton"> public class MySingleton extends Application { private static MySingleton instance; public static Context context; @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); context = getApplicationContext(); } } Navigation Pattern http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation.html import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils; NavUtils.navigateUpTo(this, new Intent(this, ListadoActivity.class)); <activity android:name=".DetalleUniversidadActivity" android:parentActivityName=".ListadoActivity" <!-- Parent activity meta-data to support 4.0 and lower --> <meta-data android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY" android:value=".ListadoActivity" /> </activity> Intent intent = NavUtils.getParentActivityIntent(this); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP); NavUtils.navigateUpTo(this, intent); NavUtils.navigateUpFromSameTask(this); Adapter Pattern Link between the source data and the view It works with ListView or GridView There are many types of adapter You can perform a custom adaptar The most used ArrayAdapter / CursorAdapter The Adapter interacts with a collection of data objects for display in View ArrayList<UniversidadBean> listado=newArrayList<UniversidadBean>(); private ListView lstListado; lstListado=(ListView)getView().findViewById (R.id.LstListado); lstListado.setAdapter (new UniversidadAdapter(this,listado)); View Holder/View Container Pattern Improve the performance of listview The viewholder is used to avoid calling findViewById whenever prompted a new row to the adapter. Thus, instead of calling findViewById each time you use the references to the fields you have stored in the viewholder. This pattern will help us to limit the number of calls to findViewById method. The idea would be to call it once, and then save the view daughter that refers to the instance of ViewHolder to be associated with the object by the method convertView View.setTag () Its recommend using a static class to store the items of each row in the view, functioning as a kind of cache for our view. ViewContainer static class ViewContainer{ public ImageView imagen; public TextView nombre; public TextView descripcion; } View Holder/View Container Pattern @Override public View getView(int position, View convertView,ViewGroup parent) { ViewContainer viewContainer; //si es la primera vez que se imprime la fila if(convertView==null){ LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater(); convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row, null,true); //crea una vista para el objeto contenedor viewContainer=new ViewContainer() //obtiene una referencia a todas las vistas de la fila viewContainer.nombre=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView_superior); viewContainer.descripcion=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView_inferior); viewContainer.imagen=(ImageView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.imageView_imagen); //asigna el contenedor de la vista a rowView convertView.setTag(viewContainer); }else{ viewContainer=(ViewContainer) convertView.getTag(); //recicling } //personaliza el contenido de cada fila basándone en su posición viewContainer.nombre.setText(listado.get(position).getNombre()); viewContainer.descripcion.setText(listado.get(position).getDescripcion()); viewContainer.imagen.setImageResource(listado.get(position).getIdImagen()); return(convertView); } View Holder/View Container Pattern Debug Fragments http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html A fragment represents a certain behavior or a portion of a user interface activity. Multiple fragments can be combined. A fragment must always be part of an activity. They emerged to provide greater flexibility to build the user interface Override methods @Override //called when finish onCreate method in activity public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState); } @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {//inicializar componentes super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); } @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) { } Fragments Add a fragment to view by layout xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="horizontal"> <fragment class="com.proyecto.spaincomputing.fragment.UniversidadesFragment" android:id="@+id/FrgListado" android:layout_width="375dp" android:layout_height="match_parent"/> <fragment class="com.proyecto.spaincomputing.fragment.FragmentDetalle" android:id="@+id/FrgDetalle" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/> </LinearLayout> Fragments Add a fragment to view By code //Fragments array Fragment[] fragments = new Fragment[]{new PortadaFragment(), new UniversityListFragment(),new UniversidadesImagesFragment()}; FragmentManager manager = getSupportFragmentManager(); manager.beginTransaction() .add(R.id.contentFrame, fragments[0]) .add(R.id.contentFrame, fragments[1]) .add(R.id.contentFrame, fragments[2]) .commit(); //show/hide manager.beginTransaction().show(fragments[0]).commit(); manager.beginTransaction().hide(fragments[1]).commit(); manager.beginTransaction().hide(fragments[2]).commit(); Fragments/ Master-detail LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT Fragments/ Master-detail PORTRAIT LANDSCAPE Fragments/ Master-detail 2 layout layout\fragment_universidades_list.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <ListView android:id="@+id/listView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > </ListView> </LinearLayout> Fragments/ Master-detail 2 layout layout-land\fragment_universidades_list.xml <LinearLayout 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:baselineAligned="false" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin" android:orientation="horizontal" tools:context=".TabsActivity" > <ListView android:id="@+id/listView" android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.5"> </ListView> <fragment android:id="@+id/fragmentUniversidadInfo" android:name="com.proyecto.spaincomputing.fragment.UniversidadInfoFragment" android:layout_width="0px" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="4" tools:layout="@layout/fragment_universidad_info" /> </LinearLayout> Fragments/ Master-detail Check orientation to display the detail page UniversidadBean ub=listado.get(position); if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) { FragmentManager manager = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager(); UniversidadInfoFragment fragment = (UniversidadInfoFragment) manager.findFragmentById(R.id.fragmentUniversidadInfo); fragment.loadWebViewContent(ub.getEnlace()); getActivity().invalidateOptionsMenu(); } else { Intent intent = new Intent(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), UniversityDetailActivity.class); intent.putExtra(UniversityDetailActivity.URL, ub.getEnlace()); url=ub.getEnlace(); intent.putExtra(UniversityDetailActivity.UNIVERSIDAD, ub.getNombre()); startActivity(intent); } Dialog Fragment The DialogFragment class provides all the controls you need to create a dialogue and change its appearance. It was introduced in Android 3.0 (API 11) and is available in the support library, so that it can be used without problems with older versions. Use the class you DialogFragment ensures proper management of events that may occur, such as clicking the Back button or rotate the screen. Furthermore, using this class we can reuse the interface dialogues as a larger component interface. To create a dialogue create a class that inherits from the DialogFragment class and create an AlertDialog object in the onCreateDialog() method import android.support.v4.app.DialogFragment; public class LinkDialogFragment extends DialogFragment { @Override public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) { AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity()); builder.setTitle(getText(R.string.title).toString()); .setNegativeButton(R.string.cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) { listener.onDialogNegativeClick(LinkDialogFragment.this); } }); return builder.create(); }} Dialog Fragment To display the dialog we just created we have to create an instance of the class in our business and invoke the show () method so that the dialog appears. With getSupportFragmentManager() call method get access to FragmentManager that is responsible for managing the fragments of the application. //LinkDialogFragment object LinkDialogFragment linkDialogFragment=new LinkDialogFragment(); //fragment parameters Bundle args = new Bundle(); args.putString("ENLACE", enlace); linkDialogFragment.setArguments(args); linkDialogFragment.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), ""); Navigation Drawer http://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/navdrawer.html <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:id="@+id/drawerLayout"> <!-- The main content view --> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/contentFrame" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" /> <!-- The navigation drawer --> <ListView android:id="@+id/left_drawer" android:layout_width="240dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_gravity="start" android:choiceMode="singleChoice" android:divider="@android:color/transparent" android:dividerHeight="0dp" android:background="#111"/> </android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout> Navigation Drawer private ListView drawerList;

Export the project as Java Volley / jar checking only the "src" folder. Volley is a library that facilitates and speeds up the creation of applications that make use of networking in Android handling concurrency and network requests. The advantage is that volley is responsible for managing the request threads transparently to the developer. libs\volley.jar Objects RequestQueue Request: Contains all the necessary details of API calls to Web. For example, the method to use (GET or POST), application data, listeners, error listeners.
