We import classes from the standard Java and Android libraries that we need in this module.
from java.io import File
from java.lang import Math
from android.app import Activity
from android.os import Environment
from android.widget import GridView
We import a class from the app_resources module bundled with the
application. This is created by the build script and is used to access the
data resources used by the application.
from app_resources import R
We also import classes provided by the pattern module in the application.
from pattern import Pattern, PatternInfo, PatternViewAdapter
The main class in the application is derived from the standard Activity
class. Since most of the functionality is provided by other classes, this class
only provides a minimal __init__ method.
class JEFViewerActivity(Activity):
def __init__(self):
Activity.__init__(self)
The following method initialises the application and sets up the user interface.
def onCreate(self, bundle):
Activity.onCreate(self, bundle)
#window = self.getWindow()
#window.requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR)
resources = self.getResources()
config = resources.getConfiguration()
#bar = self.getActionBar()
Since the application will be looking for files in the Download
directory in the external storage of a device, we obtain the path to
that directory and create an adapter to supply a GridView with
thumbnail images of the JEF files inside it.
envDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)
subDir = File(envDir, "JEF")
self.adapter = PatternViewAdapter(subDir, resources)
self.layout = GridView(self)
self.layout.setAdapter(self.adapter)
self.layout.setHorizontalSpacing(8)
self.layout.setVerticalSpacing(8)
columns = Math.max(1, config.screenWidthDp / self.adapter.size)
self.layout.setNumColumns(columns)
self.setContentView(self.layout)
This method is called if the application is informed of a change in
configuration of the device. We use the opportunity to adapt the GridView
to the screen size and orientation.
def onConfigurationChanged(self, config):
Activity.onConfigurationChanged(self, config)
columns = Math.max(1, config.screenWidthDp / self.adapter.size)
self.layout.setNumColumns(columns)
