  1. Art Gittleman Professor, Computer Science Calif State Univ Long Beach Feb 28, 2011 Introduction to Apps Development for the iPhone and the Android OS

  2. Android • Need Java 5.0+ • Easiest to use Eclipse 3.3.1+ • Download SDK starter pack from developer.android.com and invoke SDK setup program • Install Eclipse plugin Help, Install New Software Android Development Tools • Tell Eclipse where Android is located • Windows, Preferences, Android

  3. Hello Android • Eclipse File, New, Project, • Android, Android Project • Create Android Virtual Device (AVD) • Window, Android SDK, AVD Manager • Run (on emulator) • To run on phone enable USB debugging • Settings, Applications, USB Debugging • Install USB driver (Windows only)

  4. Android App Framework • Created by default • src -- Hello.java -- main Activity • res, drawable -- icon.png – app’s icon • res, values -- strings.xml – constants • res, layout – main.xml -- screen layout • AndroidManifest.xml – table of contents • gen – R.java – references, never touch it

  5. Rock Paper Scissors • Two activities – Rsp and Res • Layout – TextView over nested layout • Hook up buttons • Use an Intent to go from one to the other • Result activity – text, text, button Result text enhanced • Can configure layouts by dragging widgets and entering properties

  6. Ball Game • Touch ball to score, after 10 ball shrinks and goes faster • Easy, medium, hard choices • Uses a Java view not XML • Uses the onTouchEvent handler • Use the onDraw method to draw on a canvas

  7. OpenGL (from Hello Android) • Rotating cube • Uses OpenGL ES (embedded systems) • Draws cube from vertices • Uses GLRenderer onSurfaceCreated -- set properties onSurfaceChanged – update view onDrawFrame – draw the scene

  8. Browser View (from Hello Android) • An EditText and Button above WebView • WebView uses loadUrl method to display web page • Documentation – developer.android.com

  9. iPhone • Needs Intel Mac, OS X 10.5.4+ • Download SDK and register (free) developer.apple.com/iphone • $99 to deploy to iPhone or iPod • Uses Objective-C • Launch XCode • Examples from iPhone SDK Development

  10. Hello iPhone • File, New Project in XCode • Choose View-based Application • HelloViewController class and HelloViewController.xib (nib), freeze-dried GUI • HelloAppDelegate manages application • Use Interface Builder to add Label and configure color and size in Attributes inspector

  11. Hello User • Allow user to enter a name • IBOutlet – reference from code to nib object, e.g. label, text field • IBAction – method nib’s objects can call, e.g. button press handler • In Interface Builder, connect outlets to code, connect action Touch Up Inside event to handler method, sayHello • Implement the sayHello handler method

  12. Movie - MVC • Create Movie class (the model) • Labels with movie info, Edit button • MovieEditorViewController for edit view with Done button to return to main screen • Send message in Edit button to start movie controller • Send message in Done button to return to MovieViewController

  13. Movie Table • UITableView, UITableViewDataSource protocol provides number of rows, add, delete, etc., UITableViewDelegate to handle tapping to select a row • Uses Navigation-based Application UINavigationController UINavigationBar (with Edit and Add buttons) RootViewContoller (with UITableView) UINavigationItem

  14. Movie Table -2 • UINavigationController maintains navigation state as a stack of view controllers. • Uses an array to hold table data. Initial array hard-coded. Changes are not saved.

  15. Conference -- Core Data • Built on SQLite • Managed Object Context – row data turned into objects • Managed Object Model – like schema • Persistence Store Coordinator – connects to the database • Double-click on Conference.xcdatamodel to get screen to configure tables

  16. Core Data - 2 • Create Managed Object Class to represent the model • Conference has tracks with trackAbstract, name, sessions • Edit and Add buttons configured in code in viewDidLoad method rather than in Interface Builder • NSFetchedResultsController – adaptor between CoreData and table view
