Enabling USB debugging on your phone

Coming here after a very very long time.

Today let us see how to become a developer.

I am kidding. Let us talk about how to enable your device to be connected for debugging in android studio.

You need to install a samsung adb driver for your laptop first of all. Or which phone your brand is.

Next take your phone - go to

  • Settings
  • About Device
  • Build Number - tap on this like 10 times. And your phone tells you now you are a developer. 

Great isn't it. No studying needed.

Do you see your phone in android studio, when you connect to through usb? No, not yet.

Because there is one more step to be done.

Now settings has Developer options in it.

Goto
 
Settings
Developer Options
USB debugging - check on this

Done !!!  Now you can debug your android app on your phone.

Copy to clipboard

In my upcoming app, I have codes which I display. These are some times lengthy, and I want the app to be able to copy this to clipboard. Once it is in clipboard, users can paste it anywhere.

Using a list fragment with cursor adapter

All these days, I avoided using fragments. But then I realized for my this particular applications fragments are ideal. I have a master - detail list in my app. Let us say you want to have two fragments - one is a fragment which contains a list of elements and second one expands one element of the list. Both of them share the same cursor from the activity. Let us start with list fragment. Do not try creating list fragment using a wizard. It unnecearrily adds too many methods and classes. Let us start writing our own fragment like this class MyListFragment extends ListFragment { } Next using code menu override option, override the following method onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) This method should be used for inflating the layout file for the fragment.  I have a framelayout in parent activity of this fragment with the id as container.
