Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ? New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/parent_linear_layout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_margin="5dp" android:orientation="vertical" tools:context=".MainActivity"> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="50dp" android:orientation="horizontal"> <EditText android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="5" android:inputType="phone" /> <Spinner android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="3" android:entries="@array/types" android:gravity="right" /> <Button android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="40dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@android:drawable/ic_delete" android:onClick="onDelete" /> </LinearLayout> <Button android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" android:onClick="onAddField" android:text="Add Field" android:textColor="@android:color/background_dark" /> </LinearLayout>
Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.kt
Example
import android.content.Context import android.os.Bundle import android.view.LayoutInflater import android.view.View import android.widget.LinearLayout import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() { private var parentLinearLayout: LinearLayout? = null override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.activity_main) title = "KotlinApp" parentLinearLayout = findViewById(R.id.parent_linear_layout) } fun onDelete(view: View) { parentLinearLayout!!.removeView(view.parent as View) } fun onAddField(view: View) { val inflater = getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE) as LayoutInflater val rowView: View = inflater.inflate(R.layout.field, null) parentLinearLayout!!.addView(rowView, parentLinearLayout!!.childCount - 1) } }
Step 4 − Create a new Layout Resource file (field.xml) and add the following code −
Example
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="50dp" android:orientation="horizontal"> <EditText android:id="@+id/number_edit_text" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="5" android:inputType="phone" /> <Spinner android:id="@+id/type_spinner" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="3" android:entries="@array/types" android:gravity="right" /> <Button android:id="@+id/delete_button" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="40dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@android:drawable/ic_delete" android:onClick="onDelete" /> </LinearLayout>
Step 5 − Open res/values/strings.xml and add the following code −
Example
<resources> <string name="app_name">YourAppName</string> <string-array name="types"> <item>Mobile</item> <item>Office</item> <item>Home</item> </string-array> </resources>
Step 6 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml
example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="app.com.q1"> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" android:supportsRtl="true" android:theme="@style/AppTheme"> <activity android:name=".MainActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>
Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click the Run icon from the toolbar.
