Right place to initialise Progress Dialogs

-
It is always easy to create a function in the Util class created which is being used in all other activities. But when progress dialog is created there is a little possibility that we might get an exception.

BadTokenException

This exception is mainly because the progress dialog is not initialise. So, to overcome this problem I will suggest a right place to initialise progress dialog. It should be initialised right above the code line where it is shown.

void requestToServer(){
       //Initialise progress dialog here
       // show progress dialog here
      onResponse(){
             //dismiss progress dialog
      }
}

Styling Bottom Navigation Off the bat, the library provides considerable styling options. But after recent updates, there has been a lot more. Some of these additions include notification badges and coordinating behaviors. It also includes  on-scroll Quick Return pattern . Its all that one could ever want with the Bottom Navigation. This library is much more feature-rich than  what Android Design Support Library offers . So if you want more customization options and more control, you know what to use. Before we get to that, here’s a heads-up. We’ll be using and referencing a lot of colors. Normally, we reference colors in Android like this: ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.id.yourcolor); Now I’m no fan of writing such a lengthy line for fetching a simple color resource. So I’ll write a simple method that shortens what I have to type. private int fetchColor( @ColorRes int color) { return ContextCompat.getColor(this, color); } Great! From now on I don’t have

Lottie Animation in Android

-
Gradle is the only supported build configuration, so just add the dependency to your project  build.gradle  file: dependencies { ... compile 'com.airbnb.android:lottie:2.2.5' ... } Lottie supports ICS (API 14) and above. The simplest way to use it is with LottieAnimationView: <com.airbnb.lottie.LottieAnimationView android:id="@+id/animation_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" app:lottie_fileName="hello-world.json" app:lottie_loop="true" app:lottie_autoPlay="true" /> Or you can load it programmatically in multiple ways. From a json asset in app/src/main/assets: LottieAnimationView animationView = ( LottieAnimationView ) findViewById ( R . id . animation_view ) ; animationView . setAnimation ( "hello-world.json" ) ; animationView . loop ( true ) ; animationView . playAnimation ( ) ;
