Android -Expandable ListView

 I've discussed the coding snippets of Expandable List view .The Expandable List view is user-friendly and can make the Indication for what it has been group with the help of group item .

we now can discuss about that user friendly Expandable list view code-wise ,


activity_main.xml



<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="@string/hello_world" />

</RelativeLayout>


The Group Item design will be ,

list_group.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="8dp"
    android:background="#000000">


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/lblListHeader"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingLeft="?android:attr/expandableListPreferredItemPaddingLeft"
        android:textSize="17dp"
        android:textColor="#f9f93d" />

</LinearLayout>


The Child Item will like the following ,

list_item.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="55dip"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/lblListItem"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="17dip"
        android:paddingTop="5dp"
        android:paddingBottom="5dp"
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:paddingLeft="?android:attr/expandableListPreferredChildPaddingLeft" />

</LinearLayout>

SSL pinning in Android - A brief discussion

HTTP protocol Communication between the client and a server typically non-encrypted or plain text while we use HTTP protocol.  Pitfall Any middle hacker can interrupt the connection between the client and server and manipulate the data as it involves no encryption. How to overcome this ? As the domain owner one can purchase a digital certificate from CA(Certificate Authority) who are considered as trusted.  A certificate will contain the Owner's name, public key , Issuer's(CA's) name,Issuer's(CA's) signature, domain details, expiry date etc . After the SSL/Leaf certificate is associated with a domain,the communication between client and server will be encrypted. Now the HTTP will become HTTPs. Note : Associating the SSL certificate means it enable the encryption between client and server but does not mean ,the domain owner will never misuse your personal information. How does SSL work ? Pitfall There is a problem here. Let's assume that there is a hacker comes i...

Android - Activity Life cycle

The android activity provides 7 call backs which will be invoked based on the states of the activity For better undersatnding,The Activity A and Activity B with the all the call backs overridden. ActivityA :  public class ActivityA extends Activity {     @Override    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);         Log.e("A-OnCreate", "Object Creation");     }     public void next(View v) {         Intent i = new Intent(this, Main2Activity.class);         startActivity(i);     }     @Override    protected void onStart() {         super.onStart();         Log.e("A-onStart", "View is visible but will not be able to interact");     } ...
