import android project from github into the android studio.

GitHub is open project directory for developers , so they can help each other or work on same project from anywhere in the world.But I think GitHub is the best tool for beginners to learn development as large no of projects available on the GitHub to access , commit (modify) and use as per license.

Today we are going to learn how to import android project from GitHub to android studio

System Requirement:

1. Git should be installed on your PC if not then download it from here and install on your pc.

   Note: After installing Git please add path "c:../program files/git/bin"( git.exe should be present this folder ) into system variables of your PC.

2. make sure that android studio-->settings-->Version Control-->git --> path to git executable pointing to the correct location where git is installed

Process to import from  GitHub :

step1:

1 . Open Android Studio .

2. Close the open project if any.

3. you  will see following window on screen.

Writing a XML file Using XmlSerializer in Android with SHAIKHRIYAZ.

                    Android has a special class XmlSerializer to write data in XML format . You can read everything about XmlSerializer here : 

http://developer.android.com/reference/org/xmlpull/v1/XmlSerializer.html

                                           In this post we are going to learn how to use xmlSerializer and it methods to create xml file so lets do that:

File testfile=new 

File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"rawxml.xml");

try {
    FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(testfile,false);
    XmlSerializer serializer = Xml.newSerializer();
    serializer.setOutput(fos, "utf-8");
    serializer.startDocument("UTF-8",null);
    serializer.setFeature("http://xmlpull.org/v1/doc/features.html#indent-output",true);

    //write start tag <hello>
    serializer.startTag("","hello");
    // value

    serializer.text("shaikhriyaz");

    //write end tag </hello>
    serializer.endTag("","hello");
    serializer.endDocument();
    fos.flush();
    fos.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
