Very Useful Android Java Code Snippets for Beginners: Simple as copy-paste Why reinvent the wheel ?

by Andrei Dan

I wish I had this reference book when I started programming android apps. Snippet is a programming term for a small region of re-usable source code, machine code, or text. Ordinarily, these are formally-defined operative units to incorporate into larger programming modules.The android programming snippets are arranged by difficulty level. In almost all cases you need to import what’s not imported already (click over in Eclipse, import class, or alt+enter in InteliJ Studio->import). In some cases the code requires a library to run (mentioned). You might want to look at permissions that are required for some actions. Setting a wallpaper requires “set wallpaper” permission. I didn’t mention them, since they are easy to spot (you’ll get an error :) with what you should put in the manifest)

While this book sounds like a useful tool for mobile code developers, the Kindle version has some limitations. The code layout gets distorted to fit into the Kindle format, so it is difficult to read and copy.

Good for Beginners

For beginners, there is a pretty useful collection of Java code snippets. For more advanced developers, you might not gain much from it.
