Create RadioButton RadioGroup Dynamically - Android Tutorial

In this article, we took a look at how to create Radio Buttons Dynamically.

Here I have created this example to create the number of time slots (slot select by Radio Button) in between two selected time.
The final output looks like,



Here I have selected the Start time as 10:00 AM and End time as 12:00 PM and the Time interval between two slots as 15 mins. Therefore the calculation will result as 8 slots.
MainActivity Class
Example shows the Radio group in Grid view - 
Adding the values to an ArrayList,
String slotscounts += " "+slotStartTime+ "-"+slotEndTime +",";
ArrayList<String> slots = new ArrayList<>();
slots.add(slotscounts);
Passing the value to an Adapter class(Base Adapter used)
/*Call adapter to set_radiobuttons_for_timeSlots*/
GridSlotAdapter gridslotadapter = new GridSlotAdapter(MainActivity.this, slots);
/*set an adapter in Gridview*/
slotGrid.setAdapter(gridslotadapter);
Adapter Class
Adapter layout contains a RadioGroup
/* given string will be split by the argument delimiter provided.  */
   String[] temp = slots.split(delimiter);
Create a radio button as final,
final RadioButton[] rb = new RadioButton[temp.length];
Set the dynamic radio button in the radio group
for (int i = 0; i < temp.length; i++) {
rb[i] = new RadioButton(mContext);
holder.radGrp.addView(rb[i]);
rb[i].setText(temp[i]);
}

        }

    }

    private class ViewHolder {
        RadioGroup radGrp;
    }
}

Implement the onClick listener for radio group to get the value of selected radio button, the selected radio button value will be set in the textview as in an image,

You can check the xml file from the source code attached as zip

Happy Coding...

Spinner with Search on DropDown - Android Tutorial

If you have more values on Dropdown of Spinner its hard to select the last item by making a long scroll. To overcome this issue Android introduced a component called  AutoCompleteTextView Yes it is!!! Then why Spinner with Search? There may be some requirement even though gave much knowledge about it. There is a simple and good library that helps us to achieve this -  SearchableSpinner Gradle dependencies {     ...     implementation 'com.toptoche.searchablespinner:searchablespinnerlibrary:1.3.1' } Usage Now replace your Normal Android Spinner on XML with the following < com.toptoche.searchablespinnerlibrary.SearchableSpinner     android:id="@+id/id_city"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:background="@android:color/transparent"     android:padding="5dp" /> ______________________________________...

Get Phone Number from Contact List - Android Tutorial

When you create an application to send sms or an application to make calls, getting a destination number from the contacts list is a common task. In this Android tip, I am going to show the code to fetch a number from the contacts list. Now let me tell you how to achieve the goal. First, you need to create an Intent object for the PICK_ACTION action. To open the contacts list, the table that contains the contacts information must be specified as a parameter of the constructor of the Intent class. You can refer to the table using ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI. Then call the startActivityForResult () method passing the Intent object and request code to open the contacts list. After a contact is selected from the contacts list, to get the result, you need to override the onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) method of the activity. You can call the getData() method of the data parameter to get the table or uri that contains the selected contact. From the t...

Bluetooth Chat Application - Android Tutorial

In this tutorial, we will see about how to design an Android layout for chat application using Chat Bubbles  and the main part is chat via Bluetooth . Main objective of this post is to give an idea about how to allow two-way text chat over Bluetooth in android. Bubbles: Chat bubbles are background image that expands horizontally and vertically as required based on the message posted. Bubbles are Nine-patch Images. Image Nine-patch Image In creating Android chat bubbles, nine-patch image plays a crucial role.  Nine-patch image  is a bitmap which stretches to fit the content posted in the View where it is applied as a background. A NinePatch drawable is a standard PNG image that includes an extra 1-pixel-wide border. It must be saved with the extension  .9.png , and saved into the  res/drawable/  directory of your project. The border is used to define the stretchable and static areas of the image. You indicate a stretchable section ...
