SeekBar listener Android Example Source

Example source code for Android development. How set gray text to EditText when EditText is blank.
Hint text to display when the text is empty.
In layout/main.xml insert to EditText row Attribute Name android:hint="Some text"

<EditText
        android:id="@+id/myEdit" 
	android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:hint="Some text"
	android:singleLine="true"
</EditText>	

Programatically you can use method setHint:

// setHint(CharSequence hint) example
(EditText)findViewById(R.id.myEdit).setHint("My text");
// or int resId as method setHint(int resId) 
EditText myEdit = findViewById(R.id.myEdit);
myEdit.setHint(R.string.app_name);

Spinner in Android application is equivalent of ComboBox in WinApi.
Spinner get selected item to string example.
Spinner get selected item position to int example.

Main activity class MainComboBox.java

public class MainComboBox extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                this, R.array.countries_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());

        Button myButton =(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
        myButton.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
            	
            Spinner sp =	(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner);
            String spinnerString = null;
            spinnerString = sp.getSelectedItem().toString();
            int nPos = sp.getSelectedItemPosition();
            
             
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "getSelectedItem=" + spinnerString,
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "getSelectedItemPosition=" + nPos,
                		Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }
}

File MyOnItemSelectedListener.java

public  class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent,
        View view, int pos, long id) {
      Toast.makeText(parent.getContext(), "Item is " +
          parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {
      // Do nothing.
    }
}

Screen Android example source code for developers.
Get orientation of screen.

 public int getScreenOrientation() {
  if (getResources().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)                {

  return 0;
 }

do while Java example

public class MainClass {
	public static void main(String[] arg) {
			String[] arrayOfString = { "Hello", "people", "hello", "world!" };
			int i = 0;
                        // first cycle is always executed
			do {
				System.out.println("Loop: " + i);
				System.out.println(arrayOfString[i]);
				i++;
				
			}while ( i == -1 );
	}
}
/*
Loop: 0
Hello
*/

public class MainClass {
	public static void main(String[] arg) {
			String[] arrayOfString = { "Hello", "people", "hello", "world!" };
			int i = 0;
			do {
				System.out.println("Loop: " + i);
				System.out.println(arrayOfString[i]);
				i++;
				
			}while ( i < arrayOfString.length );
	}
}
/*
Loop: 0
Hello
Loop: 1
people
Loop: 2
