Android Api level - SDK version - how get Api level on device - sample

public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceFragment {
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
  }
}

// or insert suppresswarning
public class SettingsActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
  @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
	@Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.preferences);
  }
}

Bitmap Width, Height without memory allocation:

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.id.myimage, options);
// now opts.outWidth and opts.outHeight are the dimension of the
// bitmap, even though Bitmap is null
int imageHeight = options.outHeight;
int imageWidth = options.outWidth;
String imageType = options.outMimeType;

1.) Automatically linkifies using android:autoLink="all"

// res/values/strings.xml
<string name="link_text_auto"><b>text1:</b> This is some text.  In
      this text are some things that are actionable.  For instance,
      you can click on //www.google.com and it will launch the
      web browser.  You can click on google.com too.  And, if you
      click on (415) 555-1212 it should dial the phone.
    </string>
// main.xml
<!-- text1 automatically linkifies things like URLs and phone numbers. -->
  <TextView xmlns:android="//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/text1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:autoLink="all"
            android:text="@string/link_text_auto"
            />

2.) Link text by setMovementMethod

// MainActivity.java onCreate
/*Be warned that if you want a TextView with a key listener or movement method not to be focusable, or if you want a TextView without a key listener or movement method to be focusable, you must call setFocusable(boolean) again after calling this to get the focusability back the way you want it. */

TextView t2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text2);
t2.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

// main.xml
<!-- text2 uses a string resource containing explicit <a> tags to
       specify links. -->
  <TextView xmlns:android="//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/text2"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text="@string/link_text_manual"
            />

//strings.xml

<string name="link_text_manual"><b>text2:</b> This is some other
      text, with a <a href="//www.google.com">link</a> specified
      via an <a> tag.  Use a "tel:" URL
      to <a href="tel:4155551212">dial a phone number</a>.
    </string>

3.) Link as html code using Html.fromHtml()

// MainActivity.java onCreate
        TextView t3 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text3);
        t3.setText(
            Html.fromHtml(
                "<b>text3:</b>  Text with a " +
                "<a href="//www.google.com">link</a> " +
                "created in the Java source code using HTML."));
        t3.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

4.) Link string by SpannableString

        SpannableString ss = new SpannableString(
            "text4: Click here to dial the phone.");

        ss.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0, 6,
                   Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
        ss.setSpan(new URLSpan("tel:4155551212"), 13, 17,
                   Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);

        TextView t4 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text4);
        t4.setText(ss);
        t4.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());
