Android Convert Activity to Fragment

Simple case porting activity to fragment.

activity_main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:orientation="vertical">

    <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView"
            android:text="Hello World"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private TextView textView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView);
    }

}

The result convert Activity to Fragment

MainFragment.java

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainFragment extends Fragment {

    private TextView textView;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, container, false);

        textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.textView);

        return rootView;
    }
}

Syntax Highlighter on Blogger

There is some way to do that,

Quick

You can use online syntax highlighter, just copy your script want to format on online syntax highlighters like https://tohtml.com, http://hilite.me, http://markup.su/highlighter or any other tool and then re-copas (copy-paste) on your blog. You can use it as simply.


Linked

Yes, by embed! Usually, i used https://gist.github.com and https://pastebin.com.


Builtin

This is clear one explanation included screenshot you can follow as easily. http://oneqonea.blogspot.co.id/2012/04/how-do-i-add-syntax-highlighting-to-my.html


Conclusion

Choose what do you want, all its ok. Mine used Builtin and sometimes use Linked/Embed to share blog backlink haha!. If you use built in, its base on JavaScript, called on external sources. The most issue part about js is where you put your js codes, but I think it depends on your website or app. Some web apps are based on JavaScript. Then it does not make sense to include it at the bottom of the page mean before </body> tag to get load page faster but in this case, you need load it immediately. 

If JavaScript just adds some not so important features to some an another content-based page or any async task, then better load it at the end. I think it just little bit different, loading time will almost be the same, but the user will see the important parts earlier (before the page finished loading). It’s not about a whole site loading faster, but giving a user the impression of some website loading faster.

How to use icons and symbols from fonts on Android

I think it's an alternate way to reduce some resources on android development, yep bundle all icon as .ttf file (font ext). Sure it really hacky and customizable, you can change icon size by textSize change color by textColor and an another TextView syntax.

For example you can try to code with well known font, Font Awesome.

• Copy your font (I.e. font awesome) fontawesome-webfont.ttf into assets folder, or for spesific create new directory called fonts, it will be assets/fonts.


• Found the character entities for icons you want, if it font awesome you can use this page: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet/


• Created an entry in strings.xml for each icon. (E.g. code)
  fa-code [&#xf121;]

<string name="icon_code">&#xf121;</string>



• Then load on xml layout:

<TextView
   android:id="@+id/icCode"
   android:gravity="center"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:textSize="50dp"
   android:textColor="@color/white"
   android:text="@string/icon_code" />



• Set font as appropriate Views by load it on onCreate method:

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset( getAssets(), "fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf" );
        TextView tvCode = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.icCode);
        tvCode.setTypeface(font);
