Glad you found the videos helpful

Glad you liked it! I just finished up finals week. I'll be posting more videos soon

Glad to hear you're linking the videos!

That's really good to hear! Glad you enjoyed the calculator series

I recently made my first simple calculating Android app using MIT app developer. Now I'm here to learn how to make it the proper way and this channel really presented it so well .

Thanks! I'm glad you're liking the videos. Should be posting some more videos again soon

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the series.

Yeah the last one took a while to get out. The next video should be out soon though

Thanks! Happy to hear you're liking the videos

Glad to hear that you're liking the videos! I remember when I was first making this app, I used the exact same logic that you put in your comment. There's nothing wrong with it, but you'll never be able to put in 2 opening parentheses using that logic. For example, you could never place in an expression like ((3-5)*6)+4. The moment you click an opening parentheses, the next one will always be a closing one. I'm sure there's a way to make the code I wrote for the parentheses simpler, I just haven't looked at it in a while.

are you typing tb? if so dont... just type in the double quotes and whatever appears before the quotes gets put automatically in code.

Hey, so there's a few things you can do to fix this. Probably the best thing you could do would be to watch my updated video series on how to make a calculator. Here's the link to the If you want to check it out: kzfaq.info/sun/PLcSIMAULmMycI309W6uMMaQX1ePy8_1iV But you can also go into your themes folder and you should find 2 XML files in there. you need to change the parent attribute in the style tag to this Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar You'll have to do it for each XML file. If that's a little confusing, I go over how to do it in the updated series

It should clear right away if you're talking about the text that is set by default in our EditText (I think it was "Enter a Value"). What I would do is add the hint attribute to the EditText in our XML file. I'm not sure why I didn't use this to begin with, but if you add this line into the EditText android:hint="@string/nameOfYourString" you won't need any of the code that clears the EditText when the user clicks on it. I'm making an updated version of this series that uses the hint attribute. If you wanna watch that series instead, just follow this link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9mjjLyqnbLNZGw.html

@@PracticalCoding hey thanks :)

We can use a private method in a public method because they're both within the same class. All of the methods in our class where we created the private strToAdd method have access to it. A method created in a different class, for example, would not be able to use the strToAdd method.

Hey! I've never seen that error message before. Could you join the discord server and send a picture of the error message there? ( If you're not already a part of the server. Your name looks familiar) Here's the link: discord.gg/H2P89STbaS

Well it could be a few things. If you pass in an equation mXparser doesn't know how to evaluate, uses the wrong symbols, or is incomplete it'll return NaN. Could you put the equations you're trying to evaluate in a comment so I can take a look at them? Also, if you're using the fancy-looking math operators, make sure you're removing those before passing the equation into mXparser. That library is looking for the traditional multiplication symbol ( * ) and division symbol ( / ) I think in this video I used ÷ for division and x for multiplication which mXparser doesn't know how to work with

If anyone else is having an out of range error when adding parens using Kotlin, make sure your for loop reads "for (i in 0..cursorPos -1)" so the range is non-inclusive of the cursor's position index. :). Also thank you for these tutorials!!

@@paintmylittleworld4367 No problem, glad you like them!

When you run the app and let it crash, could you open up the LogCat or the Run tab (An error message will be in one of those) and paste it into a comment for me to look at? The tabs should be at the bottom of Android Studio

Can you put the code you're using for the updateText method in a comment so I can take a look at it?

private void updateText(String strToAdd ) { String oldStr= display. getText(). toString() ; int cursorPos= display.getSelectionStart(); String rightStr= oldStr. subString(0,cursorPos); String rightStr= oldStr. subString(cursorPos); display.setTextString(String.formart("%s%s%s", leftStr, strToAdd,rightStr)); display.setSelection(cursorPos+1): }

Hey, I think I found the issue. It looks like you have a small typo where you're splitting up the old string into the left and right portions. Here's what you have: String rightStr= oldStr. subString(0,cursorPos); String rightStr= oldStr. subString(cursorPos); The first string variable should be defined as "leftStr" I believe. Other than that small typo, nothing else stands out to me. Let me know if that fixes the issue

public void updateText(String strToAdd){ String oldStr = display.getText().toString(); int cursorPos = display.getSelectionStart(); String leftStr = oldStr.substring(0,cursorPos); String rightStr = oldStr.substring(cursorPos); display.setText(String.format("%s%s%s", leftStr, strToAdd,rightStr)); } this is wat i have and is not working bro

Simply type "updatetext" and then put "updateText("")" it's automatically detect. This way to resolve the problem.

@@MajidAli-wx3px thanks

nevermind! somehow I created a seperate v21\activity_main.xml file, no idea how it got there but It was referring to that file for everything. So I deleted the extra one and it deleted both, which was fantastic -_-

@@PracticalCoding Yeah they were all set, the weird thing is that it somehow created a duplicate xml file that was (v21) and that file wasn't set. Once I set it in the new file everything worked fine. Any idea why that file would randomly appear?

@@PracticalCoding What's even weirder if I deleted the main file it deleted both lol

The only thing that is standing out to me is that you aren't moving the position of the cursor up one spot once you add a character. It should be this bit of code here: display.setSelection(cursorPosition + 1); (I changed the variable name to the one you used) But if the buttons are not doing anything when they're clicked, I wanna ask if you set them up in that OnClick dropdown in the attributes section when you have the XML file opened

same problem bro

Can you paste what yo have for the updateText method in a comment so I can take a look at it

Well, something's gotta be wrong with that method. If you want, you can join the Discord server for this channel and upload a few pictures of what's going wrong when you try to clear the screen. If you don't have Discord, you can post the error message into a comment and I can see if anything jumps out to me. Here's the Discord link: discord.gg/evK6jwg4Xj

Yeah, I used Java throughout this entire series. If you end up watching any of the other app tutorials I made, they use Java too

@@PracticalCoding ok,thank you

Okay, I'm gonna try and explain what's happening in that function the best I can. So, the first thing that we do is grab the whole string that's in the display and store whatever that value is in the variable "oldSTR". Then, we need to grab the position of the cursor and store that position in the variable "cursorPos". We do that because the user can place the cursor in the middle of an expression. Then with the next few lines we split the string that's stored in "oldStr" at the position of the cursor. So if we had the expression "1+2" (that is what we will say is stored in the "oldStr" variable) and had a cursor position of 1 stored in the variable "cursorPos" (this would mean the cursor is in between the 1 and +) we are going to split the string "1+2" at position 1. this will result in "1" being stored in the variable "leftStr" and "+2" being stored in the variable "rightStr". Now we reached the if else statement. What the if statement basically does is looks to see if the cursor is at the very end of the string (then you don't really need to mess with the "leftStr" and "rightStr"). looking back at this code I could have made this much simpler but it is what it is. I probably could have just used the code that's in the else statement. Too late now though. Then in the else statement, we are going to combine the left and right strings with the string that the user would like to insert at the cursor position. So going back to the example "1+2". If the users cursor position was again at position 1 so in between the 1 and + and clicked a 3 to make the equation "13+2" then in the setText line we combine the leftStr with the strToAdd (the number 3) and then add-in the rightStr. We then set the whole display to that new string that was constructed which will now read "13+2" I hope that clears things up a bit. If you're still a little confused about what's happening just let me know

@@PracticalCoding okay, you've really cleared up things quite a bit. I must say I'm not really into developing a calculator. Just looking to understand how such an app works so I can grasp my head around basic concepts, I'm very very new to Java and app development. I'll also say this, the fact that you took the time out to write all this and explain what is going on to someone who is a complete stranger to you, someone you will never ever meet. That is an incredible gesture. You may think I'm over exaggerating, but no, I really really respect someone who's willing to share knowledge with strangers and expecting nothing in return. My man, I can tell you're a damn good human being, we need more people like you. You truly have my respect. I would love to see more android and Java stuff from you.

@@ChadEricCartman Thanks man it means a lot. Glad I could help you out!

You'll need to add some extra logic in the calculate method for the button click. After the expression is returned from mXparser, you should be able to create a new string without the ".0". Or you can use a StringBuilder to "modify" the string and update the EditText with that value instead. I'd try making a private method that returns a string and takes in a string to "modify".

@@PracticalCoding thanks for your fast reply! I really appreciate your help! So I'll try to make it that way 👍

@@PracticalCoding Thank you so much.... For helping Hoping for your upcoming videos ✌🏻

@@PracticalCoding Thank you for the correction it's working...

Moved my account to a brand account so my comments got deleted. Just putting some of them back @Syed Atif I think I found the problem. So if you look in your updateText method, you have the following code in the else statement display.setText(String.format("%s,%s,%s",leftStr,strToAdd,rightStr)); when you're using the format function, you have to make sure that the "%s" are right next to each other. Right now, you have them separated by commas so that's why they're showing up in the display. All you have to do is change that line of code to this display.setText(String.format("%s%s%s",leftStr,strToAdd,rightStr)); and you should be good to go 👍 Let me know if this works. If not, I'll take another look at your code but I pretty sure that's the issue.

It looks like you might have written in two attributes for a view in the activity_main.xml file. Maybe you defined an ID for a button twice? I would check around for duplicate attributes like that. Let me know how it goes

@@yxd7 ​Okay cool glad you got it working!

Yeah you could do that too but an even better way to get rid of that default text would be using the hint attribute android:hint="Enter a value" When I made this I had no idea this attribute even existed but it'll display the "enter a value" text and when the user clicks the display it'll disappear. No need to write any of the logic we wrote to get rid of the default text

Can you tell me what buildToolsVersion and compileSdkVersion you're using?

That's weird. Do you have automatic imports set in Android Studio? I'll bet that's what it is. I have that set for me so when I type in "View" Android Studio automatically imports everything I need.
