Requesting Permissions at Run Time in Android 6.0

Requesting Permissions at Run Time in Android 6.0

Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app. This approach streamlines the app install process, since the user does not need to grant permissions when they install or update the app. It also gives the user more control over the app's functionality; for example, a user could choose to give a camera app access to the camera but not to the device location. The user can revoke the permissions at any time, by going to the app's Settings screen.

On all versions of Android, your app needs to declare both the normal and the dangerous permissions it needs in its app manifest, as described in Declaring Permissions. However, the effect of that declaration is different depending on the system version and your app's target SDK level:

  • If the device is running Android 5.1 or lower, or your app's target SDK is 22 or lower: If you list a dangerous permission in your manifest, the user has to grant the permission when they install the app; if they do not grant the permission, the system does not install the app at all.
  • If the device is running Android 6.0 or higher, and your app's target SDK is 23 or higher: The app has to list the permissions in the manifest, and it must request each dangerous permission it needs while the app is running. The user can grant or deny each permission, and the app can continue to run with limited capabilities even if the user denies a permission request.
Note: Beginning with Android 6.0 (API level 23), users can revoke permissions from any app at any time, even if the app targets a lower API level. You should test your app to verify that it behaves properly when it's missing a needed permission, regardless of what API level your app targets.


Request Permissions

Following example will explain how to check the camera permission at runtime and granting and revoking permissions.


If your app needs a dangerous permission that was listed in the app manifest, it must ask the user to grant the permission. Android provides several methods you can use to request a permission. Calling these methods brings up a standard Android dialog, which you cannot customize.



AndroidManifest.xml:
-------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     package="com.ramsandroid.checkpermission60"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>     <application         android:allowBackup="true"         android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"         android:label="@string/app_name"         android:supportsRtl="true"         android:theme="@style/AppTheme">         <activity android:name=".MainActivity">             <intent-filter>                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />                 <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />             </intent-filter>         </activity>     </application> </manifest>

import android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat;

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


        if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this,Manifest.permission.CAMERA)!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){

            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                    new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA},
                    REQUEST_CAMERA);

        }

    }
@Overridepublic void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
    super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);

    switch (requestCode){
        case REQUEST_CAMERA:
            if (grantResults.length > 0                    && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                // permission was granted, yay! Do the                 // camera-related task you need to do. 
            } else {

                // permission denied, boo! Disable the                 // functionality that depends on this permission.             }

AdMob integration in Android applications using Android Studio

Before integrating AdMob ads in your applications it is highly recommended to read AdMob policies here : AdMob Policies

Let's start integration step by step

1. First download google repository package using sdk manager in Android Studio as shown in diagram below.

2. Once you done with downloading above package next update the app to reference the google play services ads sdk in build.gradle file as follows.

build.gradle :
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.ramsandroid.admobsample"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.8.0'
}


next after adding above google play service ads sdk in our build.gradle file you can observe alert is saying that sync now just go with it by select sync now option.

3.Next thing is we need to modify the manifest file by adding permissions, meta data tag and activity tag as follows.
AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.ramsandroid.admobsample">

    <!-- Include required permissions for Google Mobile Ads to run-->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <!--This meta-data tag is required to use Google Play Services.-->
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
            android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

        <!--Include the AdActivity configChanges and theme. -->
        <activity
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity"
            android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
            android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" />
    </application>

</manifest>
If you don't have admob account it is very simple just login to https://www.google.com/admob/  website by using your google user name and password. Once you complete the admob setup by giving some information in the main dashboard you can see the option monetize new app just select it and next select add app your manually next give your app name and select platform android and next click add button in the next step select ad formats like banner or interstitial create id's and finally you can finish the setup by clicking done button.

Note : when ever your app in testing stage don't use your real admob id's instead use test ad id's those i'm providing in this tutorial , before submitting your app in play store at that time replace test ad id's with real ad id's check and publish app .
                                                                if your using real id's in testing stage your admob account can be suspended without giving intemation.

4. Next create strings in strings.xml to refer admob banner,iterstial id's here i'm using test id's .
strings.xml:
<resources>
    <string name="app_name">AdMob Sample</string>

    <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
    <string name="action_settings">Settings</string>

    <string name="banner_ad_unit_id">ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111</string>
    <string name="interstial_ad_unit_id">ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712</string>
</resources>
Following code is for banner ad's:
5. Next to show banner ad in any activity look at the code below in xml layout and as well as activity.
activity_main.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    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">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

    <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
        android:id="@+id/adView"
        ads:adSize="BANNER"
        ads:adUnitId="@string/banner_ad_unit_id"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"></com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>


</RelativeLayout>
MainActivity.java:
package com.ramsandroid.admobsample;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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

        AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
        mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);
    }
}
you can see outpu of this app in below screen shot :

Following code is for interstial ad's:

MainActivity.java:
package com.ramsandroid.admobsample;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdListener;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.InterstitialAd;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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

        //To show banner id
        AdView mAdView = (AdView) findViewById(R.id.adView);
        AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder().build();
        mAdView.loadAd(adRequest);

        //To show interstial ad
        final InterstitialAd interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this);
        interstitialAd.setAdUnitId(getResources().getString(R.string.interstial_ad_unit_id));
        interstitialAd.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
        interstitialAd.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
            @Override
            public void onAdLoaded() {
                super.onAdLoaded();
                interstitialAd.show();
            }
        });

    }
}
you can see outpu of this app in below screen shot :


Note : Don't show interstial ad's in first activty of your apps. If you do that apps are going to approve to publish in the play store. before integrating admob in your application read admob policies carefully.

ToolBar Part -1 : Setup a ToolBar (Material Design)

What is ToolBar?
A Toolbar is a generalization of action bars for use within application layouts. While an action bar is traditionally part of an Activity's opaque window decor controlled by the framework, a Toolbar may be placed at any arbitrary level of nesting within a view hierarchy. An application may choose to designate a Toolbar as the action bar for an Activity using the setSupportActionBar() method.

Toolbar supports a more focused feature set than ActionBar. From start to end, a toolbar may contain a combination of the following optional elements:

  • A navigation button. This may be an Up arrow, navigation menu toggle, close, collapse, done or another glyph of the app's choosing. This button should always be used to access other navigational destinations within the container of the Toolbar and its signified content or otherwise leave the current context signified by the Toolbar.

  • A branded logo image. This may extend to the height of the bar and can be arbitrarily wide.
    A title and subtitle. The title should be a signpost for the Toolbar's current position in the navigation hierarchy and the content contained there. The subtitle, if present should indicate any extended information about the current content. If an app uses a logo image it should strongly consider omitting a title and subtitle.

  • One or more custom views. The application may add arbitrary child views to the Toolbar. They will appear at this position within the layout. If a child view's Toolbar.LayoutParams indicates a Gravity value of CENTER_HORIZONTAL the view will attempt to center within the available space remaining in the Toolbar after all other elements have been measured.

  • An action menu. The menu of actions will pin to the end of the Toolbar offering a few frequent, important or typical actions along with an optional overflow menu for additional actions.
To use Toolbar as an Action Bar, first disable the decor-provided Action Bar. The easiest way is to have your theme extend from Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar (or its light variant). as followos
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    </style>


In order to create toolbar just create a Toolbar instance via layout xml. as follows:
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id=”@+id/my_awesome_toolbar”
    android:layout_height=”wrap_content”
    android:layout_width=”match_parent”
    android:minHeight=”?attr/actionBarSize”
    android:background=”?attr/colorPrimary” />


Next in your Activity or Fragment , set the Toolbar to act as your Action Bar.
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.yourxmlfil);

    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.my_awesome_toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
}

RecyclerView with CardView Example in Android (Material Design)

What is RecyclerView  and How to use it?
Ans:-The RecyclerView widget is a more advanced and flexible version of ListView. This widget is a container for displaying large data sets that can be scrolled very efficiently by maintaining a limited number of views. Use the RecyclerView widget when you have data collections whose elements change at runtime based on user action or network events.

The RecyclerView class simplifies the display and handling of large data sets by providing:

1.Layout managers for positioning items
2.Default animations for common item operations, such as removal or addition of items

You also have the flexibility to define custom layout managers and animations for RecyclerView widgets.
To use the RecyclerView widget, you have to specify an adapter and a layout manager. To create an adapter, extend the RecyclerView.Adapter class. The details of the implementation depend on the specifics of your dataset and the type of views.

A layout manager positions item views inside a RecyclerView and determines when to reuse item views that are no longer visible to the user. To reuse (or recycle) a view, a layout manager may ask the adapter to replace the contents of the view with a different element from the dataset. Recycling views in this manner improves performance by avoiding the creation of unnecessary views or performing expensive findViewById() lookups.

RecyclerView provides these built-in layout managers:
  1.     LinearLayoutManager shows items in a vertical or horizontal scrolling list.
  2.     GridLayoutManager shows items in a grid.
  3.     StaggeredGridLayoutManager shows items in a staggered grid.
To create a custom layout manager, extend the RecyclerView.LayoutManager class.

Animations:
Animations for adding and removing items are enabled by default in RecyclerView. To customize these animations, extend the RecyclerView.ItemAnimator class and use the RecyclerView.setItemAnimator() method.

ToolBar (AppCompat) Example in Android.

This project has been created in  Android Studio using Android 5.0 SDK. and This example can run in lower versions also for that i have used AppCompat library.

Screen Shot:


Note: Make sure you have added AppCompat-V7 library to your Android Studio Project as follows.
build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "materialdesignapp.ram.com.materialdesignapp"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
}


Create colors.xml file under res folder and include following colors as shown below.
colors.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="primary">#009688</color>
    <color name="primary_dark">#00796B</color>
    <color name="accent">#9C27B0</color>
</resources>


under styles.xml include following styles as follows.
styles.xml:
<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.Base" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/primary</item>
    </style>
</resources>


Next create values-v21 folder under res folder and copy styles.xml from values folder and paste in under values-v21 folder or create new styles.xml under values-v21 folder and include following styles as shown below.
styles.xml:
<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <!-- Main theme colors -->
        <!--   your app branding color for the app bar -->
        <item name="android:colorPrimary">@color/primary</item>
        <!--   darker variant for the status bar and contextual app bars -->
        <item name="android:colorPrimaryDark">@color/primary_dark</item>
        <!--   theme UI controls like checkboxes and text fields -->
        <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/accent</item>
    </style>

</resources>





Next under layout folder create new xml file called apptool_bar.xml and include following code as shown below
apptool_bar.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@color/primary">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>


Next under activity_main.xml include apptool_bar layout using include tag as shown below.
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"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <include
        layout="@layout/apptool_bar"
        android:id="@+id/apptool_bar">
    </include>


    <TextView
        android:text="@string/hello_world"
        android:layout_below="@+id/apptool_bar"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</RelativeLayout>


Next under MainActivity call the reference of ToolBar and set that to action bar as follows.
MainActivity.java:
package materialdesignapp.ram.com.materialdesignapp;

import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;


public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
    Toolbar toolbar;

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

        toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.apptool_bar);

        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}



 

 
 


 
 




 


 
 

 


ActionBarCompat-ShareActionBarProvider Example in Android

Screen Shots:

 In this project we used some images those are stored in assets folder. Those images you can get from the project below.

Download Android Studio Project here : click here

How to develop this project:
First we need to create menu folder under res folder and create new xml file called main_menu.xml as follows and include following code.
main_menu.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:support="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
    <item
        android:id="@+id/menu_share"
        android:title="@string/menu_share"
        support:actionProviderClass="android.support.v7.widget.ShareActionProvider"
        support:showAsAction="always" />

</menu>

next you need to include values(strings,colors,dimens,styles..etc,..) from above downloadable project to your project .

next under layout folder create following xml files and include following code in those xml files as follows.

activity_main.xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <LinearLayout
        style="@style/Widget.SampleMessageTile"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            style="@style/Widget.SampleMessage"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/horizontal_page_margin"
            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/horizontal_page_margin"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/vertical_page_margin"
            android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/vertical_page_margin"
            android:text="@string/intro_message" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

 
item_image.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:scaleType="fitCenter" />

 
item_text.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="16dp"
    android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceLarge"
    android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.1"
    android:gravity="center" />

 
sample_main.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">

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/viewpager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/intro_message"
        android:padding="16dp"
        android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
        android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.1"
        android:background="#fb3" />
