Android Processes, Threads Slidenerd Style

This Android Tutorial video talks about multithreading in Android, it discusses how Activities, Services and Broadcast receivers post messages on the main thread's queue which is handled one by one by the Looper in an asynchronous fashion whereas the ContentProvider sends synchronous messages to the Looper

This Android Tutorial video shows the architecture of threads within a process in Android and shows the usage of methods such as runOnUiThread, View.post, View.postDelayed and Process.setThreadPriority

This Android Tutorial video shows an example of multithreading in Android by taking a simple app that downloads images from the Internet. In this video we simply discuss the setup to create that simple app. The real functionality begins from the next video

This Android Tutorial video shows an example of multithreading in Android by taking a simple app that downloads images from the Internet. In this video we use InputStream and HttpURLConnection to establish connection through our URL object which attempts to read images data from a particular URL

This Android Tutorial video shows an example of multithreading in Android by taking a simple app that downloads images from the Internet. In this video we play around with Uri and File along with Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() to get the perfect file name generated automatically for each image.

This Android Tutorial video shows an example of multithreading in Android by taking a simple app that downloads images from the Internet. We finally use the FileOutputStream to write data to the SD card with the proper images but guess what the app is not user friendly, It would be better with a ProgressBar, dont you think?

This Android Tutorial video talks about how to display a progress bar for a short interval of time to indicate some action being performed in the background Thread. The issue with progress bars is that their state cannot be saved once the screen is rotated resulting in the destruction of the Activity.

This Android Handler Tutorial video talks about thread, looper and handlers in android and their architecture. How can you use handlers to send Runnable or Message objects to the thread associated with the handler.

This Android Tutorial video demonstrates a simple example of a background thread sending messages containing progress of execution of a long running task to the Main Thread where the ProgressBar is updated by the Main thread with the help of the handleMessage callback. A Message object is created by the handler which is sent to the message queue of the Main thread

This Android Tutorial video shows another example of Handlers in Android inside a sample app called DownloadImages where handler instances are used to post Runnable messages to the main thread of the activity so that the main thread can update the progress bar appropriately to indicate the status of image download

This Android Tutorial video shows an example of Looper in Android. Looper is associated with a thread when you call Looper.prepare() and when you invoke Looper.loop() you process messages from the message queue of that thread. Main Thread can send Runnable or Message objects to background thread once the background thread has an associated Looper

This Android Tutorial video talks about AsyncTask in Android, how to use it, when to use asycntask, lifecycle of asynctask in the form of onPreExecute, doInBackground, publishProgress, onProgressUpdate and onPostExecute methods, Generic arguments to asynctask covering Params, Progress and Result.

This Android Tutorial shows an example of AsyncTask where a ListView is populated with items in the background thread supported by the doInBackground method. The onPreExecute and onPostExecute take care of displaying and hiding a progress bar that belongs to the Activity enabled through the requestWindowFeature method. The publishProgress and onProgressUpdate attempt to update the progressbar

This Android Tutorial video shows how to create the Download Images App as an example of using AsyncTask and then proceeds to show how Activity lifecycle affects AsyncTask since it is not capable of updating the new instance of the Activity once the old instance has been destroyed

This Android Tutorial video shows how to handle asynctask rotation in android, by locking the orientation of the Activity inside onPreExecute and releasing it inside onPostExecute so that the Activity cannot rotate while the user is running the background task or the status of the AsyncTask is RUNNING

This Android Tutorial video begins dealing with AsyncTask capable of Handling Activity Rotation by creating Fragment that dont destroy themselves when the screen is rotated with the help of the setRetainInstance set to true and demonstrates the effect on the lifecycle of Fragments when setRetainInstance is used

This Android Tutorial shows how to manage an AsyncTask inside a retained Fragment by notifying the Task of the changing Activity instances on rotation through the onAttach and onDetach callbacks

This Android Tutorial video shows how to handle asynctask rotation with some final pieces put together inside the MainActivity and completes the Rotation friendly AsyncTask thereby...

This Android Tutorial For Beginners video talks about XML parsing in Android and discusses the various approaches behind them using DOM API, SAX Parser and StAX parser.

This Android Tutorial video talks about XML DOM Parsing and how it works in Android. It discusses about the DocumentBuilderFactory and DocumentBuilder Singleton classes and their methods newInstance() to initialize the parsing of XML in Java

This Android Tutorial video talks about the interfaces, Element, Node, Attr and discusses methods such as getAttributes(), getNodeName(), getElementsByTagName() and NodeTypes such as ELEMENT_NODE, TEXT_NODE, DOCUMENT_NODE and also discusses the limitations of DOM based parsing approach

This Android Tutorial video shows an example of XML dom parsing to read rss feeds from Techcrunch using the DocumentBuilderFactory, DocumentBuilder, Document, Element, Node classes and interfaces
