Today you gonna learn how to create a login activity that uses volley for request. Click here If you want more information about volley library.
To begin with, will first create a back-end using PHP and my SQL. I'm using wamp server to host the php scripts.
1. Backend - PHP, MYSQL, PDO
Project Structure:
ii) create a database androidmastermind,
iii) create a table login,
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `login` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `username` varchar(30) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(50) NOT NULL, `created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) )
INSERT INTO `login` (`id`, `username`, `password`, `created_at`)
VALUES(1, 'admin@gmail.com', 'admin', '2016-06-22 09:34:13');
iv) Create constants.php file, this will hold all the variables that we will need to reuse.
<?php
define("USERNAME","username");
define("PASSWORD","password");
v) Create DbConnection.php file, this will handle the database connection and disconnection when needed.
* Remember to change the username and password*
<?php private static $dbName = 'androidmastermind';
private static $dbHost = 'localhost';
private static $dbUsername = 'kevynashinski';
private static $dbUserPassword = 'elegant'; private static $cont = null; public function __construct(){ } public static function connect(){ // One connection through whole application
if (null == self::$cont) { try { self::$cont = new PDO("mysql:host=" . self::$dbHost . ";"
. "dbname=" . self::$dbName, self::$dbUsername, self::$dbUserPassword);
self::$cont->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch (PDOException $e) { die($e->getMessage()); } } return self::$cont; } public static function disconnect(){ self::$cont = null; } }
vi) Finally create login.php file, this will authenticate the user, by receiving thus username and password through POST.
<?php
include 'DbConnection.php';
include 'constants.php'; if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $username = $_REQUEST[USERNAME];
$password = $_REQUEST[PASSWORD]; // open connection
$conn = DatabaseConnection::connect(); $sql = "select * from login WHERE username='$username' AND password='$password'"; // check if a row exists with the credentials
if ($conn->query($sql)->rowCount() > 0) { // shows there's a record
echo 1;
} else { // shows there's no such record
echo 0;
} } else{ // shows that nothing was posted
echo 2;
}
* The index.php serves the purpose of testing our database connection.
<?php include 'DbConnection.php'; $conn=DatabaseConnection::connect(); if($conn){ echo "Ready to Roll!!!";
}else{ echo "connection Error".$conn->errorInfo();
}
2. Frontend - Android
Project Structure:i) Create a new android project, name it AndroidLogin
ii) Import volley library to your build.gradle (app:module)
compile group: 'com.mcxiaoke.volley', name: 'library', version: '1.0.19'
ii) Create App.java in the package, this class extends Application, it holds the initialization of the app configurations, in our case volley initialization.
package com.androidmatermind.androidlogin; import android.app.Application; import android.text.TextUtils; import com.android.volley.Request; import com.android.volley.RequestQueue; import com.android.volley.toolbox.ImageLoader; import com.android.volley.toolbox.Volley; /** * Created by Kevynashinski on 6/23/2016. */
public class App extends Application{ public static final String TAG = "androidlogin"; private ImageLoader mImageLoader; private RequestQueue mRequestQueue; private static App mInstance; @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); mInstance = this; } public static synchronized App getInstance() { return mInstance; } public RequestQueue getRequestQueue() { if (mRequestQueue == null) { mRequestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getBaseContext()); } return mRequestQueue; } public <T> void addToRequestQueue(Request<T> req, String tag) { // set the default tag if tag is empty
req.setTag(TextUtils.isEmpty(tag) ? TAG : tag); getRequestQueue().add(req); } public <T> void addToRequestQueue(Request<T> req) { req.setTag(TAG); getRequestQueue().add(req); } public void cancelPendingRequests(Object tag) { if (mRequestQueue != null) { mRequestQueue.cancelAll(tag); } } }
iii) Create another file, AppConfig.java, this holds the server link
package com.androidmatermind.androidlogin; /** * Created by muus on 6/23/2016. */
public final class AppConfig { public static final String SERVER_URL="http://192.168.56.1/androidlogin/"; public static final String URL_LOGIN=SERVER_URL+"login.php"; }
iv) InternetConnection.java class, will help us check if internet is available before login begins
package com.androidmatermind.androidlogin; import android.content.Context; import android.net.ConnectivityManager; import android.net.NetworkInfo; /** * Created by kevynashinski on 11/9/2015. */
public class InternetConnection { Context context; public InternetConnection(Context context) { this.context = context; } public boolean isInternetAvailable() { ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE); // boolean isWiFi = activeNetwork.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI;
NetworkInfo activeNetwork = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo(); return activeNetwork != null && activeNetwork.isConnectedOrConnecting(); } }
v) Under the MainActivity.java, will when a user click sign in button, will first check if internet is available, then carry out the login operation. The email and password will also be validated
package com.androidmatermind.androidlogin; import android.animation.Animator; import android.animation.AnimatorListenerAdapter; import android.annotation.TargetApi; import android.app.LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks; import android.content.CursorLoader; import android.content.Loader; import android.content.pm.PackageManager; import android.database.Cursor; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.Build; import android.os.Bundle; import android.provider.ContactsContract; import android.support.annotation.NonNull; import android.support.design.widget.Snackbar; import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.text.TextUtils; import android.util.Log; import android.util.Patterns; import android.view.View; import android.view.View.OnClickListener; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.AutoCompleteTextView; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.Toast; import com.android.volley.Request; import com.android.volley.Response; import com.android.volley.VolleyError; import com.android.volley.toolbox.StringRequest; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.List; import java.util.Map; import static android.Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS; /** * A login screen that offers login via email/password. */public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements LoaderCallbacks<Cursor> { private static final int REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS = 0; // UI references. private AutoCompleteTextView mEmailView; private EditText mPasswordView; private View mProgressView; private View mLoginFormView; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // Set up the login form.mEmailView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.email); populateAutoComplete(); mPasswordView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.password); Button signInButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.sign_in_button); assert signInButton != null; signInButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Overridepublic void onClick(View view) {if(new InternetConnection(getBaseContext()).isInternetAvailable()) attemptLogin(); else { Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"Check your internet connection",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } }); mLoginFormView = findViewById(R.id.login_form); mProgressView = findViewById(R.id.login_progress); } private void populateAutoComplete() { if (!mayRequestContacts()) { return; } getLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this); } private boolean mayRequestContacts() { if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.M) { return true; } if (checkSelfPermission(READ_CONTACTS) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { return true; } if (shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(READ_CONTACTS)) { Snackbar.make(mEmailView, R.string.permission_rationale, Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE) .setAction(android.R.string.ok, new View.OnClickListener() { @Override@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.M) public void onClick(View v) { requestPermissions(new String[]{READ_CONTACTS}, REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS);} }); } else { requestPermissions(new String[]{READ_CONTACTS}, REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS); } return false; } /** * Callback received when a permissions request has been completed. */@Overridepublic void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) { if (requestCode == REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS) { if (grantResults.length == 1 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {populateAutoComplete(); } } } /** * Attempts to sign in or register the account specified by the login form.* If there are form errors (invalid email, missing fields, etc.), the* errors are presented and no actual login attempt is made.

vi) Add the following codes to the activity_main.xml
<LinearLayout
