There are situations when you might decide that you need to create 2 versions for your application: a free one and a paid one. So, in this tutorial, which is just a simple example (we will just set different colors for the 2 versions), we will see how to achieve this using flavors. Your project is…
You might wonder what is the difference between package name we have in AndroidManifest.xml file and ApplicationId we see in build.gradle. They seem to be the same thing, but actually they are 2 different things. So if you didn't know what is the difference between these 2 properties, you can find out now. ApplicationId represents…

Build Types When you work on a project, at some point you might need to run your app in release mode, or debug mode, or qa mode, or any other mode you…
So if you ever need to get screen size in width and height on Android, you can use the following snippet:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
/** * Returns the size of the screen in pixels (width and height) * * @return a Point that has the screen width stored in x and height in y */ public Point getScreenSize(Activity context) { Display display = context.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); Point size = new Point(); if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 13) { display.getSize(size); } else { //noinspection deprecation size.set(display.getWidth(), display.getHeight()); } return size; } |

I had this error after updating the project to the latest Build Tools 23.0.0. After spending some hours on google to find a solution without any success, I tried to deactivate the Instant Run option from Preferences. And when I ran the app, it worked! This is not really a solution, but if you…
