Request Result Using startActivityForResult and Listen to It in onActivityResult

Let us say we have two activities (First Activity and Second Activity) in our Android application then startActivityForResult() is used by the First Activity when it expects a result from the Second Activity and onActivityResult() is used to read the returned result from the Second Activity. In simple terms, we can send information to the top activity in the back stack. From our First Activity, start the Second Activity with a request code. // Open the second activity startActivityForResult( Intent(context, SecondActivity::class.java), REQUEST_CODE_FETCH_RESULT ) This opens the Second Activity. When we are done with the Second Activity and want to pass the data back to the First Activity, we call setResult and close our Second Activity. // Set the result in the Second Activity val intent = Intent().apply { // Intent extras putExtra(BUNDLE_EXTRA_ACTIVITY_FINISHED, true) } activity?.run { // Set the result setResult(RESUL...

How to Set an Android App as a Default Dialer

Image
A default dialer is an application that handles the Phone calls on the device. Google made the provision for third-party applications to be a default phone handler from SDK 23 (6.0, Marshmallow version). In the article, we will learn about how to set our Android application as a default dialer. 1) Add the below intent filters under the activity tag in the AndroidManifest.xml. <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> </intent-filter> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.DIAL"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> <data android:scheme="tel"/> </intent-filter> 2) Check if our application is already a default dialer app using TelecomManager. val telecomManager = getSystemService(Context.TELECOM_SERVICE) as TelecomManager Log...

Listen to Back Button Clicks in Fragment

Listening to the back button click event inside the fragments, comprised of a painful implementation of the interfaces and the onBackPressed method calls in both Activity and Fragment, prior to the introduction of the OnBackPressedDispatcher . But now, inside a Fragment, the back button behaviour can be controlled by listening to the callback returned by the OnBackPressedDispatcher . This callback listener is implemented inside the  onCreate overridden method. override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) // Listen to Back button clicks val callback = requireActivity().onBackPressedDispatcher.addCallback(this) { // Handle the back button event } } Use onBackPressedDispatcher method to get the OnBackPressedDispatcher and add the callback using the addCallback method. This callback method takes a lifecycle owner. Handle the back button events whenever the callback gets triggered. The same implementation can be d...

Run the Emulator directly in Android Studio

Image
In Android Studio 4.1, a minor feature is released to reduce the screen (or window) switching between Android Studio and the Emulator. Using this feature, we can now run the Emulator directly inside the Android Studio. We can make the changes to the code and see the changes reflect in the emulator in the same window similar to layout XML and its preview. To achieve this, open the Preferences window and select the Emulator menu item under the Tools expandable menu. Here we can check the option Launch in a tool window and click OK . Now run the Emulator to see it inside the Android Studio window.
