How to use SwipeRefreshLayout? Example

Google just released a new version of Android Support Library with SwipeRefreshLayout[1]. It is pull to refresh layout based on Google Now, not Gmail. Before this release most of android developers use PullToRefresh library from Chris Banes (Special thanks to him for great libraries and android development tips) But with the recent release of Google, Chris drop his support to own library - PullToRefresh. [2] We have SwipeRefreshLayout now it is simple to use with a few line of codes.


Step One: Install


Update your Android Support Library in Android SDK manager and make sure you have version 19.1. Then right click on project and select "Android Tools->Add Support Library". After instaltion your project has brand new support library.


Step Two: Layout


You should add your scrool view or list view in to a "SwipeRefreshLayout"


<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/srl_container"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
           <ListView
               android:id="@+id/listView1"
               android:layout_width="match_parent"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content">
           </ListView>
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>


Step Three: Code


In code we need a SwipeRefreshLibrary instance.
private SwipeRefreshLayout mSwipeRefreshLayout;
...

// onCreate()
mSwipeRefreshLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) findViewById(R.id.srl_layout);

mSwipeRefreshLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) findViewById(R.id.swipe_container);
mSwipeRefreshLayout.setColorScheme(android.R.color.holo_blue_bright,
android.R.color.holo_green_light,
android.R.color.holo_orange_light,
android.R.color.holo_red_light);
...
// onRefresh() method when refresh finished.
  @Override public void onRefresh() {
      // Empty implementation
  }
Now you are ready try this in your app. I just use it my new app, please try and do not hesitate to send your feedback :)

Using Accelerometer when Screen Off

Introduction Android Phones have a lot of built-in sensor such as gyro, proximity and accelerometer. Using Accelerometer in Android is a known thing. For listening sensors, class or service needs a SensorEventListener implementation. An Activity is only exists when you are seeing it. When phone enters standby mode, activity which was recently active frozen and restored whenever needed. While this frozen time, activity doesn’t run. Because of that it doesn’t need sensor updates. And Android stop to listen some sensors for power management. Services have this condition like classes (activity). In contrast to class, a service run every time, even when phone is in standby mode. Therefore Services needs sensor updates for some situations. But android stop to listen some sensor(accelerometer) in some different phones. There is a solution for that. This is not an exact solution but it work with a lot of phones. With a BroadcastReceiver listen   Intent. ACTION_SCREEN_O

Eclipse'te Android Sanal Makinesi oluşturma

Eclipse'te oluşturduğumuz projeleri denemek için Eclipse'te Android Sanal makinesı oluşturabiliriz. Bu yaptığımız programları önce bilgisayar üzerinde denememiz ve ilk izlenimlerimizi oluşturmamız için önemlidir. Her android sürümü için farklı sanal makine oluşturabileceğimiz için yazdığımız programın farklı sürümlerde nasıl çalıştığını görmemize yardımcı olur. Bu sanal makineyi önceki yazılarda anlattığımız şekilde kurduğumuz Eclipse'te  bir kaç adımda oluşturabiliriz. Bunun içim aşağıdaki adımları izlememiz yeterli olucaktır. Windows-> AVD Manager a tıklayalım. Açılan pencerede sağ üstten "New"e basarak yeni sanal makine oluşturacağımız ekrana gelelim. Burda "Name" kısmına istediğimiz ismi yazabiliriz. Ama tavsiyem oluşturacağınız android sürümü ile alakalı isimler verin. örn: Android 2.1 sürümü için Andro_2.1 şeklinde isim verebilirsiniz. "Target" kısmında oluşturacağınız sanal makinenin API sini seçmelisiniz. SD kart kısmına
