Model View View-Model (MVVM): Getting Started

Android MVVM 

MVVM stands for Model, View, ViewModel.

Model: This app contains data. He cannot speak directly to the scenario. In general, it is recommended to expose the data to the viewmodel by the observables.

View: It represents the UI of any application logic-free application. It observes the viewmodel.

ViewModel: It acts as a link between the model and the view. It is responsible for transforming the data from the model. It provides the data stream to the view. It also uses hooks or callback to update the view. It wants data from the model.

The following flow describes the main MVVM pattern.

android architecture or Android software stack

or Android software stack is categorized into five parts:

1. linux kernel
2. native libraries (middleware),
3. Android Runtime
4. Application Framework
5. Applications

Let's see the android architecture first.

1) Linux kernel

It is the Android system design in the Android design. The Linux kernel is responsible for device drivers, power management, memory management, device management, and asset acquisition.

2) ancient libraries

The library's first library, such as WebKit, OpenGL, FreeType, SQLite, Media, C runtime library (libc), is at the top of the Linux Lunar Calendar.

The WebKit library is responsible for browser support, SQLite support, font support, FreeType for font support, audio and video formats for media playback.

3) Android Runtime

The main library in the android program and the DVM (Dalvik Virtual Machine) are responsible for running the android application. DVM, like JVM, is optimized for mobile devices. It uses less memory and provides faster performance.

4) Android Framework

There is a android framework on top of libraries and on the top of Android. Android API as an Android API, such as UI (UI), telephony, resources, locations, content providers (data), and bundled administrators. Includes. Enriching the Android application provides you with lots of features and interactions.

5) Applications

There are apps on the top of the Android infrastructure. All apps, such as home, contacts, settings, games and browsers are android configurations that use android launcher and libraries. Android Run and Native Libraries are using linux kernal.

In recent times, Google moved from Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Just like GCM, FCM is a cross-platform messaging solution that allows you to send messages. FCM is completely free and there are no limitations.

If you have followed any of my previous tutorials about GCM, I strongly recommend you migrate to Firebase today itself. In this article we learn the features of firebase cloud messaging by building a simple app. We’ll also learn how to integrate firebase to your backend, so that you can send the messages from your server.

How to use custom font in Android Studio

How to use custom font in Android Studio

1. Go to the (project folder)
2. Then app>src>main
3. Create folder 'assets>fonts' into the main folder.
4. Put your .ttf file into the fonts folder.

       AssetManager am = context.getApplicationContext().getAssets();
   
       typeface = Typeface.createFromAsset(am,
               String.format(Locale.US, "fonts/%s", "abc.ttf"));
   
       setTypeface(typeface);

   or try this way:

      TextView tx = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textview1);
   
      Typeface custom_font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),  "fonts/abc.ttf");
   
      tx.setTypeface(custom_font);
