Android 3.0 Honeycomb project

4. Create a main entry point java file eg. Main.java

import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.Gallery;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class Main extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener
 {
  private static final String tag = "Main";
  private Gallery _gallery;
  private ImageAdapter _imageAdapter;

  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
   {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    setTitle("Android Honeycomb Photo Gallery Example");

    _gallery = (Gallery) this.findViewById(R.id.gallery1);
    _imageAdapter = new ImageAdapter(this);
    _gallery.setAdapter(_imageAdapter);
    _gallery.setOnItemClickListener(this);
   }

  @Override
  public void onItemClick(AdapterView arg0, View view, int position, long duration)
   {
    int resourcId = (Integer) _imageAdapter.getItem(position);
    Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(resourcId);
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), resourcId);

    Toast.makeText(this, "Selected Image: " + getResources().getText(resourcId) + "\nHeight: " + bitmap.getHeight() + "\nWidth: " + bitmap.getWidth(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
   }
 }

5. Create an ImageAdapter.java file

import android.content.Context;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.Gallery;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.ImageView.ScaleType;

public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter
 {
  private Context _context = null;
  private final int[] imageIds = { R.drawable.formula, R.drawable.hollywood, R.drawable.mode1, R.drawable.mode2, R.drawable.mother1, R.drawable.mother2, R.drawable.nights, R.drawable.ontwerpje1, R.drawable.ontwerpje2, R.drawable.relation1, R.drawable.relation2, R.drawable.renaissance, R.drawable.renaissance_zoom };

  public ImageAdapter(Context context)
   {
    this._context = context;

   }

  @Override
  public int getCount()
   {
    return imageIds.length;
   }

  @Override
  public Object getItem(int index)
   {
    return imageIds[index];
   }

  @Override
  public long getItemId(int index)
   {
    return index;
   }

  @Override
  public View getView(int postion, View view, ViewGroup group)
   {
    ImageView imageView = new ImageView(_context);

    imageView.setImageResource(imageIds[postion]);
    imageView.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
    imageView.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(400, 400));
    return imageView;
   }
 }

6. Create an XML layout file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:orientation="vertical"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:gravity="center"
 >

 <Gallery
  android:id="@+id/gallery1"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:spacing="10dip"
  >
 </Gallery>
</LinearLayout>

7. Run the Android app.
