Gradle BuildType

• Defines how app is build

• Signing, proguard on/off, zipalign

• Package name suffix signingConfigs { inmite { storeFile file("inmite.keystore") keyAlias "inmite_android" } } buildTypes { debug { packageNameSuffix ".debug" versionNameSuffix "-debug" } release { signingConfig signingConfigs.inmite } }

Gradle - Variants

• Free vs. Paid

• Multi-apk support

• Different runtimes,...

• Flavors = productFlavors

• Multi-flavor variants = flavorGroups

Gradle Project Structure

/src /main

/java /eu/inmite.gradle.example

/res /drawables /values ... AndroidManifest.xml

/resources/paid /java ...

/src/instrumentTest

Gradle Libraries

• binary .aar package in existing repos

• supports proguard

• custom lint rules come later

//dependence on an external jar library//configurations - compile, instrumentTestCompile// debugCompile, releaseCompiledependencies { compile files('libs/android-support-v4.jar') compile 'com.google.guava:guava:14.0.1'}

Volley - Request

mRequestQueue = ((Application) getApplication()).getRequestQueue();mImageLoader = new ImageLoader(mRequestQueue, new BitmapLRUCache());

mRequestQueue.add( new JsonObjectRequest( "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5296640/a.json", null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() { @Override public void onResponse(JSONObject jsonObject) { try { final JSONArray urls = (JSONArray) jsonObject.getJSONArray("images"); final String[] data = new String[urls.length()]; for (int i = 0; i < urls.length(); i++) { data[i] = urls.getString(i); } mImageAdapter = new ImageAdapter(data); setListAdapter(mImageAdapter); } catch (JSONException e) { Toast.makeText(..., getString(R.string.parse_error), ...).show(); } } }, null));

Volley - NetworkImageView

@Overridepublic View getView(int i, View view, ViewGroup viewGroup) { ...

final ViewHolder vh = (ViewHolder) view.getTag(); vh.iv.setImageUrl(data[i], mImageLoader); return view;}

private class ViewHolder { NetworkImageView iv;}

Mobile Backend Starter

• No code backend

• Google auth built in

• Google Cloud Messaging

• Continuous queries

Monday, May 27, 13

Beyond the Blue Dot

• Contextual apps

• Fused location provider = sensors in play

• ListenersmLocationClient = new LocationClient(this, this, this);mLocationClient.connect();

Location location = mLocationClient.getLastLocation();

LocationRequest mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create().setInterval(5000).setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);

mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest,

mLocationListener);

Beyond the Blue Dot

• PendingIntentmLocationClient = new LocationClient(this, this, this);mLocationClient.connect();

LocationRequest mLocationRequest = LocationRequest.create().setInterval(5000).setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);

PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, new Intent("com.example.location"), 0);mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(mLocationRequest, pi);

Geofencing

Monday, May 27, 13

Geofencing

PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, new Intent("com.example.location"), 0);

Geofence geofence = new Geofence.Builder() .setRequestId("id") .setTransitionTypes(Geofence.GEOFENCE_TRANSITION_ENTER) .setCircularRegion(10,10,10) .setExpirationDuration(1000).build();

final List<Geofence> gfcs = new ArrayList<Geofence>();gfcs.add(geofence);

mLocationClient.addGeofences(gfcs, pi,new LocationClient.OnAddGeofencesResultListener() {

@Override public void onAddGeofencesResult(int i, String[] strings) { if (i != LocationStatusCodes.SUCCESS) { Toast.makeText(

MyActivity.this,"Cannot add geofences",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

} } });

Activity Recognition

• Riding, walking, cycling, still, tilting// Connect to the ActivityRecognitionServiceActivityRecognitionClient mActivityRecognitionClient = new ActivityRecognitionClient(this, this, this);mActivityRecognitionClient.connect(); // Called when a connection to the ActivityRecognitionService//has been established.public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) { Intent intent = new Intent(this, MyIntentService.class); PendingIntent callbackIntent = PendingIntent.getService( this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT); mActivityRecognitionClient.requestActivityUpdates( 30000, callbackIntent); }
