We can see the NumberPicker in Old Style of TimePicker How it works -         You can select the values on scroll up or down        You can also edit the value that on view Lets see an Example to implement (E.g. for Select the date) Create and XML <LinearLayout     android:id="@+id/id_picker_ll"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:orientation="horizontal"     android:weightSum="3">     <NumberPicker         android:id="@+id/year_pick"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:layout_margi...

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" /> ______________________________________...

We may face an issue on Spinner lies on long vertical scroll, (i.e.) when selected and item from dropdown the focus moves to top of scroll. To avoid this please follow this piece of code spinner.setFocusableInTouchMode( true ); spinner.setOnFocusChangeListener( new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {     @Override     public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {         if (hasFocus) {             if (spinner.getWindowToken() != null ) {                 spinner.performClick();             }         }     } });   _______________________________________________________________________________ Happy Coding...

Crash monitoring tools help developers build, deploy, and maintain high-quality apps. These tools can alert you to new issues in real-time. The quicker you learn about new issues, the sooner you can get a fix to your users. There is also an opportunity to proactively reach out to users impacted by ongoing issues. All developers should implement some form of crash reporting to monitor the health of their apps. This article will guide you through quickly setting up crash monitoring with Crashlytics in your current Android app. There are many alternative tools you can use for crash monitoring, but Crashlytics–a Fabric service owned by Google–is one of the most popular and widely used. Crashlytics’ integration is easy–even for novice developers. It is completely free. The reporting is customizable and detailed. There’s good documentation and support. While other crash reporting tools may be more suitable for your needs, it’s important note that some tools like Firebase require Goog...

This post will help you yo learn how to make Multi language supported app in android. Why Multi language? In order to targeting global audience, it will be beneficial if you make your app localized. While localizing, you should think about text, audio, currency, numbers and graphics depending upon the region or country. But in this tutorial language only covered.
