If your eclipse shuts down throwing the error,
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

……………………………………………………………………………
……………………………………………………………………………

at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor13.invoke(Unknown Source)

Here are the steps to increase the heap space memory.

Locate your Eclipse installation folder.

Open ‘eclipse.ini’ file in a text editor and increase the memory as shown in the figure.

Restart eclipse and your application should run fine.

Lets you spin the selected View canvas in the XY plane.

// Create a rotate animation.

RotateAnimation rotate = new RotateAnimation(0, 360,
RotateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f,
RotateAnimation.RELATIVE_TO_SELF, 0.5f);
rotate.setFillAfter(true);
rotate.setDuration(1000);

You can use custom fonts in android. For this you have to copy the font file (.ttf ) to the assets folder. Assume your font name is “font1.TTF”. The .ttf will work with all android versions.

Then you have to add a TextView in the main.xml or copy the following text and paste it in your main.xml:

<TextView
android:id="@+id/CustomFontTV"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:text="What this font looks like">
</TextView>

Then, copy following code and paste it in the .java file just below the setContentView(R.layout.main) :

Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "font1.TTF");
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.CustomFontTV);
tv.setTypeface(tf);

That’s it

The following code will show you how to create a custom dialog or pop up window in android:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

final CharSequence languages[] = {"Chinese", "Spanish", "English",  "Arabic", "Hindi"};

AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
dialog.setTitle("Select Language");
//Adding icon to dialog
dialog.setIcon(R.drawable.icon);

dialog.setSingleChoiceItems(languages, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int selectedIndex) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), languages[selectedIndex], Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

}
});

dialog.setNeutralButton("Done", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {

@Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
//place your code here

}
});

AlertDialog alert = dialog.create();

alert.show();

}

The following script will attach an image (from sdcard) with email in android:

public class EmailActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

Button sendBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.send_btn_id);
sendBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v)
{
Intent emailIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
emailIntent.setType(“text/html”);
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL,  new String[]{ “rajeev@schogini.us”} );

//Take image from sdcard and attach with email
emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(“file///sdcard/Images/your_image.jpg)”));

emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, “Android Mail” );
emailIntent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, “Hello from android” );

EmailActivity.this.startActivity(emailIntent);
EmailActivity.this.finish();
}
});

}
}

Here is a simple example for a message notification with a sound as when you click a button.

package com.notify;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

mNotificationManager.cancel(SIMPLE_NOTFICATION_ID);
}
});
}
}


There are 2 styles available for progress dialog

ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER
ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL
Default style for progress dialog is ProgressDialog.STYLE_SPINNER. Now we are going to see another progress dialog style ( ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL ) .
Horizontal style helps us to show the progress value. For eg:- 34/100 completed. So user can easily know when the progress will completed.

ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(this);
progressDialog.setProgress(10);
progressDialog.setSecondaryProgress(34);
progressDialog.setMax(100);
progressDialog.setProgressStyle(ProgressDialog.STYLE_HORIZONTAL);
progressDialog.setMessage("Loading .....");
progressDialog.show();

setMax() is used to set the progress maximum value.
setProgressStyle() is used to set style for progress dialog.
setSecondaryProgress() is used to set the progress value.

File file = new File("/sdcard/file.txt");
boolean deleted = file.delete();

ClipboardManager interface to the clipboard service, for placing and retrieving text in the global clipboard.
hasText() is used to check whether the clipboard contains text or not. Return value is boolean.
getText() is used to get clipboard text.
setText() is used to set clipboard text.

ClipboardManager clipboardManager = (ClipboardManager) getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE);
if (clipboardManager.hasText()) {
Toast
.makeText(
getApplicationContext(),
"Clipboard Text = "
+ clipboardManager.getText().toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
clipboardManager.setText(null);
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"No Content in Clipboard. Set some text in clipboard",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
clipboardManager.setText("Schogini Systems");
Toast
.makeText(
getApplicationContext(),
"Clipboard Text = "
+ clipboardManager.getText().toString(),
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
