Android - Basic Steps (Data Management)

SharedPreferences

  • Persistent Map of simple data types
  • Automatically persisted across application sessions
  • Used for store long-term storage of customizable application data

Get a SharedPreferences object

  • Activity.getPreferences(int mode)

Get a specific SharedPreferences

  • Context.getSharedPreferences(String file, int mode)
    • file - name of SharedPreference file
  • Get Values
    • getAll()
    • getBoolean(...)
    • getString(...)

Write SharedPreferences

  • SharedPreferences.edit()
    • putInt(...)
    • putString(...)
    • remove(...)

Save changes

  • SharedPreferences.Editor.commit()

PreferenceFragment

  • Display user preferences that can be modified

Memomry

  • Internal
    • Application private data sets
  • External
    • non-private data sets
    • Determine the status of external memory
      • Environment.getExternalStorageState()
      • Results
        • MEDIA_MOUNTED
        • MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY
        • MEDIA_REMOVED
    • Permission
      • android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Cache Files

Get an instance
  • File Context.getCacheDir()
    • Return absolute path to an application-specific directory for temporary files
  • Context.getExternalCacheDir()
    • Returns a dile representing external storage directory for cache files

SQLite

Designed to operate < 300 kb

  • Use as recomendation a helper SQLiteOpenHelper
  • Follow the next steps
    • Create a subclass
    • Call method super() to initialize underlying DB
    • Override onCreate()
      • Create the tables using CREATE TABLE
    • Override onUpgrade()
    • Use SQLiteOpenHelper methods to open the DB
    • Execute operations
  • DB Path
    • /data/data/<package name>/databases
SQLITE3
  • Use to examine the DB
    • #adb -s emulator-5554 shell
  • Open the connection
    • #sqlite3 /data/data/<package name>/databases/<DB_name>
    • <package name> - course.examples.DataManagement.Data.BaseExample
    • <DB_name> - artist_dbd

Android - Basic Steps (Service)

Service Run in the main thread of the hosting application Android can kill the Service if need the resources Purpose Supporting inter-application method execution Performing background processing Start a Service Call Context.startService(Intent intent)\ To call from a Fragment use getActivity().getApplicationContext().startService( intentService); Executing the service After call startService(...)  In the Service is executed the method onStartCommand(...) If the method returns the constant START_NOT_STICKY then Android will not restart the service automatically if the the process is killedp Foreground To execute the service foreground call the method startForeground() Use this if the user is aware of the process Bind to a Service Call the method Context.bindService( Intent service ServiceConnection con int flags ) Send Toast from the Service On the method onStartCommand receive the message   ...

Android - Basic Steps (Sensors)

Sensors There are three types: Motion Position Environment ServiceManager Get a reference with   getSystemService(Context.SENSOR_SERVICE) Get a specific sensor SensorManager.getDefaultSensor(int type) Sensor Types Sensor.TYPE_ACCELEROMETER Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD Sensor.TYPE_PRESSURE SensorEventListener Interface for SensorEvent callback When the accuracy has changed onAccuracyChanged() When has a new value onSensorChanged() SensorManager To register or unregister SensorEvents registerListener() unregisterListener() SensorEvents Include Data is sensor Sensor Type time-stamp Accuracy Measurement data Filters Low-pass Deemphasize transient force changes Emphasize constant force components Example Carpenter's level High-pass Emphasize transient force changes Deemphasize  constant force components Example Percussion instrument
