error: package android.support.annotation does not exist: Butterknife Androidx

androidx error,butterknife android,butterknife androidx support,

I've recently upgrade a project which uses Butterknife Android v8.8.1 to make use of the new AndroidX libraries using Refactor-->Migrate to AndroidX option in Android Studio. I come across below androidx annotation error while migrating to AndroidX:

error: package android.support.annotation does not exist

implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.8.1'
annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.8.1'

It's suggested updating ButterKnife to the newest version
Solved after update butterknife to latest-->

implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:10.1.0'
  annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:10.1.0'

Find Butter Knife latest snapshot: Butter Knife

Android change shape solid color programmatically

Change Shape Solid Color Programmatically in Android Kotlin.

In the shape drawable xml-file you can set custom solid color with the attribute <solid android:color="@android:color/holo_purple" /> but to change the shape drawable solid color in runtime/dynamically. There is need to Change solid color of the shape drawable in android programmatically, you can edit Solid Color of a shape drawable xml-file in Android programmatically using GradientDrawable.setColor(int) method which change tint of solid color of shape drawable.

Here, TextView is set with shape drawable background. This example changes android TextView background - shape drawable solid color to grey from purple color.

android webview net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

Outline of Article Content
1. Error OverView: android webview showing net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED
2. Fix Cleartext Traffic Error in Android 9 Pie
2.1. Network security configuration to allow all Network connection types HTTP and HTTPS in Android (9) Pie
2.2. While allowing clear traffic to all domains by using above point: Google Play release APK will face Security -> 1 known vulnerability detected in APK 51
2.3. Network security configuration allows an app to permit cleartext traffic from a certain domains.
3. Gain More Understanding on Domain and Sub-Domain

1. Android Webview showing net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED:

android 9 webview showing net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

Webpage not available
The webpage at http://geekscompete.blogspot.com/2019/04/ugc-net-cs-2018-julpii-question-87.html could not be loaded because:
net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED

2. How to Fix net::err_cleartext_not_permitted Error in Android 9 Pie Webview

2.1 To allow all Network connection types HTTP and HTTPS in Android (9) Pie:

Need to follow the below two steps to Fix Cleartext Traffic Error in Android 9 Pie:

1) You now have to create a new file in your xml folder, file named network_security_config just like the way you have named it in the AndroidManifest.xml .
2) You have to set  android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" in the application tag of your AndroidManifest.xml. This deceleration in your android application will allow cleartext traffic to all Network connection types in Android 9 Pie.

Step 1. Create a new file res/xml/network_security_config.xml and the content of your file should be like this to enable all webview URL requests without encryptions:
Code for network_security_config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="system" />
        </trust-anchors>
    </base-config>
</network-security-config>

Step 2. Add network security config created above to your Android manifest file under application tag.
Code for AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.yourappname">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
 
    <application
        android:name=".MainApplication"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:largeHeap="true"
        android:allowBackup="false"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    </application>
</manifest>

2.2 Security -> 1 known vulnerability detected in APK 51

You may also face warning messag as below on Google Play Console for your released APK/s If you have allowed clear text traffic for all network traffic as suggested in step 2.1 of this article.
Cleartext traffic allowed for all domains
Detected in APK 48, 49, 50, 51
Your app's Network Security Configuration allows cleartext traffic for all domains. This could allow eavesdroppers to intercept data sent by your app. If that data is sensitive or user-identifiable it could impact the privacy of your users.
Consider only permitting encrypted traffic by setting the cleartextTrafficPermitted flag to false, or adding an encrypted policy for specific domains. Learn more

2.3 Network security configuration - allows an app to permit cleartext traffic to/from a specific domain/s

If you have some limited number of specific domains for which you want to allow clear traffic then use below content for your res/xml/network_security_config.xml file with your  domain/s specified:
Code for network_security_config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">geekscompete.com</domain>
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">geekscompete.blogspot.com</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

Understanding on domain and subdomain:

Lets say your main domain is as below:
geekscompete.com

For example, you could create a subdomain for gallery pictures on your site called "gallery" that is accessible through the URL gallery.geekscompete.com in addition to www.geekscompete.com/gallery.
You can also set even more specific area of interest on your sitepage for your site with new subdoamin like below:
info.blog.geekscompete.com

Example of subdomain for the above domain are:
www.geekscompete.com
blog.geekscompete.com
info.blog.geekscompete.com
gallery.geekscompete.com

See here, The structure and components of a URL to better understand the concept of the subdomain


More about Network security configuration:
<network-security-config>
can contain below tags:
0 or 1 of <base-config>
Any number of <domain-config>
0 or 1 of <debug-overrides>

Here these tags are:
<base-config> is the default configuration set for all network connections whose destination is not covered by a <domain-config>.
<domain-config> is configuration to be used for network connections to specified destinations, as defined by the domain elements.

Any values that are not set in <base-config> will use the platform default values.

The default configuration for applications which targets Android 9 Pie (API level 28) and higher is as follows:

<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false">
    <trust-anchors>
        <certificates src="system" />
    </trust-anchors>
</base-config>

The default configuration for applications which targets Android 7.0 Nougat (API level 24) to Android 8.1 Oreo (API level 27) is as follows:

<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
    <trust-anchors>
        <certificates src="system" />
    </trust-anchors>
</base-config>

The default configuration for applications which targets Android 6.0 Marshmallow (API level 23) and lower is as follows:

<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
    <trust-anchors>
        <certificates src="system" />
        <certificates src="user" />
    </trust-anchors>
</base-config>

How to find which app was selected by Intent.createChooser?

This should work for early versions of Android.
Use intent PICKER instead of CHOOSER. The difference is that picker won't start the target intent automatically, but rather, it returns to onActivityResult() the target intent with the selected app's component name attached. Then you start the target intent in the callback as a 2nd step. A little bit of code should explain,

In MyActivity class

static final int REQUEST_CODE_MY_PICK = 1;

// Getting ready to start intent. Note: call startActivityForResult()
... launchIntent = the target intent you want to start;
Intent intentPick = new Intent();
intentPick.setAction(Intent.ACTION_PICK_ACTIVITY);
intentPick.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, "Launch using");
intentPick.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT, launchIntent);
this.startActivityForResult(intentPick, REQUEST_CODE_MY_PICK);
// You have just started a picker activity,
// let's see what user will pick in the following callback

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_MY_PICK) {
         String appName = data.getComponent().flattenToShortString();
         // Now you know the app being picked.
         // data is a copy of your launchIntent with this important extra info added.

         // Don't forget to start it!
         startActivity(data);
    }
}
