Android Kotlin: How to create and use a HashMap

This code demonstrates how to work with HashMaps in an Android application written with Kotlin. HashMaps are a fundamental data structure used to store collections of key-value pairs. The code showcases three types of HashMaps: MutableHashMap, HashMap, and LinkedHashMap. Each type offers slight variations in behavior.

The code provides a clear separation between the UI layout (defined in activity_main.xml) and the logic behind the button clicks (implemented in MainActivity.kt). When a button is clicked, it triggers specific functionalities related to the chosen HashMap type. The functionalities include adding key-value pairs, iterating through the map, removing entries, updating values, and checking for emptiness. The results are displayed on the TextView element.

Summary

This code provides a valuable learning resource for Android developers working with Kotlin. It offers a practical example of using different HashMap types, demonstrating their functionalities and potential use cases within an Android application. By understanding these functionalities, developers can effectively store and manage key-value pairs within their apps.

Android Kotlin: How to create and use an Enum

This code demonstrates how to create and use enums in an Android application written in Kotlin. Enums are a special kind of class that defines a set of named constants. They offer several advantages over simple string constants, including improved type safety, readability, and access to additional functionalities.

The code includes an example activity (MainActivity.kt) that showcases three different types of enums:

• A basic enum with simple constants (like Position).
• An enum with each constant holding a single additional value (like Capital).
• An enum with each constant holding multiple additional values (like Country).

The activity displays information about these enums upon clicking corresponding buttons.

Summary

By following this example, you'll gain a solid understanding of how to define and utilize enums in your Android projects. This approach enhances code maintainability, readability, and reduces the risk of errors by ensuring that only valid values can be assigned to enum variables.
