Personal Notes App Changes For

Android 1.4
Introduction
Eventually I will re-create the Personal Notes app videos completely for Android
Marshmallow. For now, this document is what you need to do to get the app
working with Android Marshmallow.

Extra information
I have created a video which might be of interest to you. You can watch this, or just
follow the information in this guide (note that the videos dont contain everything
int his document, so consider the document to be the most up to date).

Things you will need to change from the original recorded

videos

Here are the following items to keep in mind when you are building the app in
Android Studio 1.4

build.gradle Dependencies
In the build gradle file found in ProjecName>App in the project pane window of
Android Studio. Also make sure to set the view to Project.
Then make sure to add the following dependencies after line 26 of the build.gradle
file.
compile ('com.google.apis:google-api-services-drive:v2-
rev105-1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile('com.google.api-client:google-api-client-
android:1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile('com.google.http-client:google-http-client-
gson:1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'

Then click on Sync Now link on the upper right corner to start syncing the
build.gradle.

There is an alternative way to adding dependencies first you have to delete the
following line from your build.gradle.

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'

These are the only items that should be left on your dependencies area of your
build.gradle file
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
}

Next, go to your project pane, right click on the top most folder in the labeled
PersonalNotes.

Right click on it and select Open Module Settings.

In the open module settings window, select app on the left menu. Make sure that
the latest Build Tools Version is selected, which in this current time of
documentation is 23.0.1.

Click the Dependencies tab, which is where you we will add the dependencies with
correct latest versions. First click the plus sign in the lower left, and choose Library
dependency.
A small window will pop out for searching the Library depdencies we want to add.
First seach for appcompat by typing app compat in the search field and press
enter. Wait for it to finish searching. It will then bring back a list of all the
appcompats it could find.

The one you need to choose is the most latest version for the com.android.support
which in this case is 23.0.1. So select that one and press Ok, it will then get added to
the list in the dependencies tab.
Next, we need to add dependencies for cardview and Recyclerview. So search for
those again and add them. Be careful thought because you might pick the wrong
ones, so make sure the ones you have selected have the com.android.support on it.
Next we need to add the dependency for play-services so type that into the search
box and add it. Be sure to pick the one that starts with
com.google.android.gms:play-services: and of course pick the latest version.

You should now have the following have the following dependencies added in, click
on Ok to add them.
The build.gradle file will add the dependencies and it will automatically start
syncing them. Wait for it to finish the syncing process.

One last thing , please paste these following dependencies after the line 29
dependencie.

compile ('com.google.apis:google-api-services-drive:v2-
rev105-1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile('com.google.api-client:google-api-client-
android:1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile('com.google.http-client:google-http-client-
gson:1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}

Your build.gradle contents should now look like the following below.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
 compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.timbuchalka.personalnotes"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-
android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'
compile ('com.google.apis:google-api-services-drive:v2-
rev105-1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile('com.google.api-client:google-api-client-
android:1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile('com.google.http-client:google-http-client-
gson:1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
}

In the end you should have Appcompat, RecyclerView, CardView, Play-services,

Google-Api-Services-Drive, Google-Api-Client-Android, and Google-Http-Client-Gson
in your build.gradle dependencies.
Commenting out the Floating Action Button and Creating
Blank Activity.
For every Blank Activity you create throughout the entire project you need to
comment out the following lines of code.

Example if you have a created a Blank Activity called MainActivity you need to
comment out the following lines in the MainActivity.java file. Just select the lines
below and press CMD+/ or CTRL+/ if your in a Windows. Java files are stored in the
App>Src>Main>Java>Packagename of the project.

FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton)

findViewById(R.id.fab);
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action",
Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Action", null).show();
}
});

After commenting the following lines of code the current inside of your
MainActivity.java should now look like the following below.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar)
findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

// FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton)

findViewById(R.id.fab);
// fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
{
// @Override
// public void onClick(View view) {
// Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your
own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
// .setAction("Action",
null).show();
// }
// });
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action
bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action
bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up
button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in
AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();

//noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}

return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

Then you need to open up the activitys corresponding activity layout file which in
this example is activity_main.xml and comment out these lines of code. Xml layout
files are always stored in App>Src>Main>Res>layout of the project.

<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>

</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"
android:src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email"/>

You can comment them by selecting the lines of code and press CMD+/ or CTRL+/
for windows.

This is what your activity_main.xml contents should look like after commenting.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<!--<android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout-->
<!--android:layout_height="wrap_content"-->
<!--android:layout_width="match_parent"-->
<!--android:theme="@style/AppTheme.AppBarOverlay">-
->

<!--<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar-->
<!--android:id="@+id/toolbar"-->
<!--android:layout_width="match_parent"-->
<!--
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"-->
<!--android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"-->
<!--
app:popupTheme="@style/AppTheme.PopupOverlay"/>-->

<!--</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>-->

<include layout="@layout/content_main"/>

<!--
<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton-->
<!--android:id="@+id/fab"-->
 <!--android:layout_width="wrap_content"-->
<!--android:layout_height="wrap_content"-->
<!--android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"-->
<!--android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"-->
<!--
android:src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_email"/>-->

</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Apply this every time you create a new Blank Activity. You must comment out
the following lines of code in both the java file and the corresponding activity
xml file of it.

Removing Some Line of Code in the AndroidManifest.xml

Open up the AndroidManifest.xml file in App>Src>Main and look for the following
line of code. It should be inside the first <activity> tag for .MainActivity.

<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"
/>

<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Delete the line of code highlighted in red and your current AndroidManifest.xml file
should only look like this for now.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.timbuchalka.personalnotes" >

<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
 <activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action
android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<category
android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

</manifest>

Editing content_main.xml and content xml files in general

When the lecture shows editing activity_main.xml you should instead edit the
content_main.xml file. The same applies to any new Blank Activities you create,
instead of editing the activity xml file for that activity; you should instead edit the
content xml file.

When editing the content_main.xml file or any content xml file. Please do not
delete the following highlighted in red.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior
"
tools:showIn="@layout/activity_main"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
 <TextView
android:text="Hello World!"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Another example if I created a new Blank Activity called SearchActivity. It would

generate me the java file, and two xml files activity_search.xml and
content_activity.xml

When editing the content xml of the SearchActivity which is content_activity.xml I

would not remove the following lines.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior
"
tools:showIn="@layout/activity_search"

tools:context="com.timbuchalka.personalnotes.SearchActivity
">

</RelativeLayout>

Please keep this in mind.

Additional Method for the RecyclerItemClickListener Class

When you finish going through the lecture on creating the
RecyclerItemClickListener Class which is Lecture 147 as of the time of this
documentation. You need to add this empty method in before the closing bracket of
the entire class.
@Override
public void onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean
disallowIntercept) {

Your RecyclerItemClickListener class should now look like this in then.

public class RecyclerItemClickListener implements

RecyclerView.OnItemTouchListener {

public static interface OnItemClickListener

{
public void onItemClick(View view, int position);
public void onItemLongClick(View view, int
position);
}

private OnItemClickListener mListener;

private GestureDetector mGestureDetector;

public RecyclerItemClickListener(Context context, final

RecyclerView recyclerView, OnItemClickListener listener) {
mListener = listener;
mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, new
GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
public boolean onSingleTapUp(MotionEvent e) {
return true;
}

public void onLongPress(MotionEvent

motionEvent) {
View childView =
recyclerView.findChildViewUnder(motionEvent.getX(),
motionEvent.getY());
if(childView != null && mListener != null)
{
mListener.onItemLongClick(childView,
recyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(childView));
}

}
});
}

public boolean onInterceptTouchEvent(RecyclerView

recyclerView, MotionEvent motionEvent) {
 View childView =
recyclerView.findChildViewUnder(motionEvent.getX(),
motionEvent.getY());
if(childView != null && mListener != null &&
mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(motionEvent)) {
mListener.onItemClick(childView,
recyclerView.getChildAdapterPosition(childView));
}
return false;
}

public void onTouchEvent(RecyclerView recyclerView,

MotionEvent motionEvent) {
}

@Override
public void
onRequestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(boolean
disallowIntercept) {

}
}
