Flash-card app using FragmentPagerAdapter in Android with swipe and Sound

This is yet another flash-card app with swipe navigation and sound play for Android.

Flash-card app using swipe FragmentPagerAdapter 1Flash-card app using swipe FragmentPagerAdapter 2

***Important – am using ADT Bundle of the release 20130917 (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130917). The older version on ADT might use slightly different approach. Download here http://developer.android.com/sdk ***

Create a new Android project.

On the File menu choose New> Android Application Project. Name the Android Application and change the minimum required SDK to API 11.

minimum-required-sdk-api-11-swipe

On the window that provides the navigation type, choose Scrollable Tabs + Swipe.

navigation-scrollable-tabs-swipe

These are the modifications to be made;

1. Copy the materials (images to drawable, mp3 sound files to assets)

copy-resources-swipe-flash-card

2. Prepare the page layout.

Using the latest IDE, you will get the following layout file named fragment_main_dummy.xml . In the project we are using these IDs; ImageView imgnumber to hold the image number, ImageButton btnsound for the user interaction of playing the sound for the number’s pronunciation.

fragment_main_dummy

the fragment_main_dummy.xml

<RelativeLayout 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:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity$DummySectionFragment" >

<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tableRow1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imgnumber"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="320dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:src="@drawable/no1" />

</TableRow>

<TableRow
android:id="@+id/tableRow2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/btnsound"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:src="@drawable/sound" />

</TableRow>
</TableLayout>

</RelativeLayout>


3. Changing the page titles – open the file res>values>strings.xml, and modify accordingly.


adjust-page-title-name


4. The page numbers – find the method getCount, and change accordingly.


public int getCount() {
// Show 3 total pages.
return 3;
}


5. Make sure the DummySectionFragment class implements OnClickListener – because the sound button need this.


public static class DummySectionFragment extends Fragment implements OnClickListener


6. Declare the necessary UI – just before the method onCreateView inside the DummySectionFragment class.


//put all the mp3 filename as String array
private String[] mp3={"1.mp3","2.mp3","3.mp3"};
private ImageView imgnumber;
private ImageButton btnsound;
private View rootView;
//get the current screen number
private int skrinno;


7. Make the necessary amendment to the onCreateView method.


@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main_dummy,
container, false);
skrinno= getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER);

btnsound=(ImageButton)rootView.findViewById(R.id.btnsound);
btnsound.setOnClickListener(this);

//set the screen image
imgnumber=(ImageView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.imgnumber);
if(skrinno==1){
imgnumber.setImageResource(R.drawable.no1);
}
else if(skrinno==2){
imgnumber.setImageResource(R.drawable.no2);
}
else if(skrinno==3){
imgnumber.setImageResource(R.drawable.no3);
}

return rootView;
}


8. This is the onClick method to handle btnsound click.


@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//button onClick handler
if(v.getId()==R.id.btnsound){
playSound(mp3[skrinno-1]);//array starts from 0
}
}//end onClick


9. This is the playsound method to play the mp3 sound file.


private MediaPlayer mp;
//the playSound function - copy from blog.kerul.net
public void playSound(String soundName){
Boolean mpPlayingStatus=false;
mp=new MediaPlayer();

try{//try to check MediaPlayer status
mpPlayingStatus=mp.isPlaying();
}
catch (Exception e){
mpPlayingStatus=false;
}
//if the MediaPlayer is playing a sound, stop it to play new sound
if (mpPlayingStatus==true){
mp.stop(); //stop the sound
mp.release(); //remove sound from the memory
}
else{
try{
mp = new MediaPlayer();
//this is to load the mp3 sound from the assets folder
AssetFileDescriptor afd = rootView.getContext().getAssets().openFd(soundName);
//set the sound source file
mp.setDataSource(afd.getFileDescriptor(), afd.getStartOffset(), afd.getLength());
mp.prepare(); // prepare for playback
mp.start(); //play the sound
afd.close();//release the file descriptor
}//try block
catch(IOException e) {
//display the error message in debug
Log.i("Error playing sound: ", e.toString());
}
}
}//end playSound

However, the use of proverb will cause confusion or misinterpretation if one does not familiar with the phrases since they cannot be translated literally. This paper will discuss the process of automated filtering of Malay proverb in Malay text. The next process is translation. In machine translatio...
