Android Development: Addition of Bottom Navigation Bar with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose

by
  Introduction In this article, we will add bottom navigation bar to the second screen of the “Demo One” App that I have been using for demonstrations in my previous Android development articles. The bottom navigation bar will have three navigation items, which are, “Home”, “Info” and “Settings”.  The navigation items would be programmed to render their contents on the screen accordingly when clicked or tapped. Note that the “Demo One” Android project already had a TopAppBar, as added in my previous article. The user interface of the second screen of the Demo One App is as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Addition of Needed Dependency The dependency that we will need for the addition of bottom navigation bar to our Android project is called “navigation”. Let us now open the module-level build.gradle file in our Android project and add the version 2.6.0 of the navigation dependency. After the addition of the dependency, we will connect to the internet and then click on “Sync...

How to add background image to your Android project with Jetpack Compose

by
  Introduction: There could be instances when we might decide to use an image as the background instead of the default background color for some specific screens in the Android app we are developing. With the combination of Jetpack Compose and Kotlin programming language in Android Studio, this can be easily achieved. One of the ways to achieve this is to make use of Box layout composable and add the background image as the first element in the Box layout. Box layout makes elements or items placed in it to be stacked on each other; so, every other element will be placed on the first element (which will be a background image in our own case). After adding the Image composable, we can add another layout such as Column or Row or even another Box that will contain the other items (such as Text composable, Button composable, and so on) that should be on the background of the app screen. Demonstration: In this demo, we will be adding a JPEG image named “demo_bg” as our background...

Android Development: Using Alert Dialog with Button in Jetpack Compose

by
  Introduction: In Android application development, buttons could be programmed to perform some actions (such as navigating to another screen, showing toast message, closing the app, among others) when the user taps or clicks on them. In this article, we will learn how to make a button to perform the action of displaying an alert message to the user. This would be achieved using a composable function called AlertDialog. Note that we will be demonstrating this with the 'Click Here to Proceed' button located inside the ‘DemoScreen’ composable function in our 'Demo One' Android project from my previous article. Demonstration: First, we will open the 'Demo One' project. ‘Demo One’ project is now opened as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Next, above the button composable in our ‘DemoScreen’ composable function, we will define a mutable state variable, set its value to ‘false’, and store it with the name 'showAlertMessage' (as shown in Figure 2). Note th...
