Hi guys, It's been a longtime, herewith I came up with a RecyclerView example, I hope you enjoy this blog too.



 RecyclerView is just an advance for ListView. Hereafter you can use RecyclerView instead of ListView. RecyclerView can do all works performed by ListView. And also RecyclerView is more flexible with large data set. In this blog you can learn how to create a simple RecyclerView and also adapter for this RecyclerView. You can create RecyclerView by using appcompat-v7 support jar.



Code:




MainActivity.java



import android.support.annotation.Nullable; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager; import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView; import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.LayoutInflater; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.view.View; import android.view.ViewGroup; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; public class?

Consider using simple NavigationView instead of this old Navigation drawer, which based on Material design and much simpler and very flexible than this Navigation drawer.



This NavigationDrawer example is developed by using appcompat library project in eclipse kepler.



Code:




MainActivity.java



import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity; import android.support.v7.app.ActionBar; import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager; import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.Menu; import android.view.MenuItem; import android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout; public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements NavigationDrawerFragment.NavigationDrawerCallbacks { /** * Fragment managing the behaviors, interactions and presentation of the * navigation drawer. */ private NavigationDrawerFragment mNavigationDrawerFragment; /** * Used to store the last screen title. For use in * {@link #restoreActionBar()}. */ private CharSequence mTitle; @Override protected void?

Using ConnectivityManager class we can detect Internet connection availability in Android.



Code:




ConnectionDetector.java



import android.content.Context; import android.net.ConnectivityManager; import android.net.NetworkInfo; public class ConnectionDetector { private Context _context; public ConnectionDetector(Context context){ this._context = context; } /** * Checking for all possible internet providers * **/ public boolean isConnectingToInternet(){ ConnectivityManager connectivity = (ConnectivityManager) _context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); if (connectivity != null) { NetworkInfo[] info = connectivity.getAllNetworkInfo(); if (info != null) for (int i = 0; i < info.length; i++) if (info[i].getState() == NetworkInfo.State.CONNECTED) { return true; } ?
