Android Studio - Overview

Nowadays Android is spreading its wings with more enhanced versions such as Android Nougat, Oreo. There are several IDE (Xamarin, PhoneGap) available which can be helpful to work with Android development. Android Studio is an official IDE for Android App Development.

It allows us to write better code with an intelligent code editor which provides code completion for Java, Kotlin, c/c++ languages.

You can download it from the link.

IDE


  1. The toolbar lets you carry out a wide range of actions, including running your app and launching Android tools.
  2. The navigation bar helps you navigate through your project and open files for editing. It provides a more compact view of the structure visible in the Project window.
  3. The editor window is where you create and modify the code. Depending on the current file type, the editor can change. For example, when viewing a layout file, the editor displays the Layout Editor.
  4. The tool window bar runs around the outside of the IDE window and contains the buttons that allow you to expand or collapse individual tool windows.
  5. The tool windows give you access to specific tasks like project management, search, version control, and more. You can expand them and collapse them.
  6. The status bar displays the status of your project and the IDE itself, as well as any warnings or messages.

Project Structure

Each project in Android Studio contains one or more modules with source code files and resource files. Types of modules include:
  • Android app modules
  • Library modules
  • Google App Engine modules
By default, Android Studio displays your project files in the Android project view, as shown in the figure above. This view is organized by modules to provide quick access to your project's key source files.
All the build files are visible at the top level under Gradle Scripts and each app module contains the following folders:
  • manifests: Contains the AndroidManifest.xml file.
  • java: Contains the Java source code files, including JUnit test code.
  • res: Contains all non-code resources, such as XML layouts, UI strings, and bitmap images.
The Android project structure on disk differs from this flattened representation. To see the actual file structure of the project, select project from the Project drop-down.

Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) with Keras

Image
Multi-Layer Perceptron is famous nowadays as we have enough processing power to compute heavy operations. It consists of 3 layers: input, hidden and an output layer. In this post, we will implement the neural network with Keras . Keras is a python deep learning library. In the dataset, we have ASCII representation, where each letter of the alphabet is represented by a matrix of 12x13 binary values. Here, we will train our model and check the analyze the learning curve. So first we will import the required packages and load the data. import numpy as np from keras import models, layers, optimizers, utils from random import randint from keras.layers.core import Activation from keras.layers import Dropout from matplotlib import pyplot as plt dataset = np.loadtxt('pattern1.txt', delimiter=" ") In our data file, we have A to Z letter, so we will transform our data first and then split the train and test data. We’ll also prepare our target column as in ...

Apriori algorithm implementation in R

Image
Introduction it is an algorithm for frequent itemset mining and  association rule learning  over transactional databases. It proceeds by identifying the frequent individual items in the database and extending them to larger and larger item sets as long as those itemsets appear sufficiently often in the database. The frequent itemsets determined by Apriori can be used to determine  association rules  which highlight general trends in the database ,  this has applications in domains such as  market basket analysis . This post is about the implementation of the apriori algorithm in R not to the detailed explanation of it. First, Download and install R Studio from  link  if it is not installed in your system. 1. First, install the required packages named - arules and apriori.    Go to Tools -> Install Packages --> arules/apriori 2. Importing your data set  The data import features can be access...
