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

  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...

Android Development: Adding New Activity, Explicit Intent and Top App Bar with Jetpack Compose

  Introduction In this article, we will continue with the practical demonstration of Android development using our “Demo One” Android project as an example. Note that in my previous article, I demonstrated how to add AlertDialog to MainActivity.kt, and programmed it to show when the “Click Here to Proceed” button is clicked. The AlertDialog contains a button with the text “NEXT” (as in Figure 1). Figure 1 When the “NEXT” button is tapped or clicked, the AlertDialog will close, and then, the app will navigate back to MainActivity. In this article, we will add a new Activity named “SecondActivity”. Next, with the use of “intent”, we will program the AlertDialog “NEXT” button to navigate to SecondActivity when tapped. Next, we will add top app bar to our SecondActivity. Let us now open our “Demo One” project (as in Figure 2) and continue with the development process. Figure 2 Creation of a new Activity named “SecondActivity” There are different methods of creating ...

How to change the default app icon to the preferred icon for your Android app project in Android Studio

  Introduction: Every Android mobile application usually comes with unique app icon associated with it by the Android Developer. An app icon visually represents a mobile application on the screen of user’s device, or in any app store, for example, Figure 1 shows app icons for various applications on the screen.   Figure 1 It is therefore a good idea to have an image designed for the Android application that you are building. The dimension of the app icon could be 512 x 512 pixel. You can then add the app icon to your Android project to replace the default launcher icon associated with app projects in Android Studio. Demonstration: In this demonstration, we will be replacing the default icon with our app icon (as in Figure 2).   Figure 2 To add your app icon to your Android project, take note of the following: First, ensure that your app icon image has been designed and ready for use (for example, Figure 3 shows an image named “my_app_icon”- designed for “Dem...
