Reports Activity

Before we start to design a new activity, Add a string resource in res/values/strings.xml:

<string name="reportTitle">Report</string>

Design a new layout called activity_report. Do this by locating the res/layout folder and selecting new->layout resource file:

You can choose all the defaults for this layout.

'Morph' our layout from Linear to Relative, like so,

and build a layout similar to the following:

This is the layout file itself:

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

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:text="@string/reportTitle"
        android:id="@+id/reportTitle"
        android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="31dp"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
        android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" />

    <ListView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/reportList"
        android:layout_below="@+id/reportTitle"
        android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

Introduce a new Empty Activity into ie.app.activities to render this activity:

and replace it with the following:

package ie.app.activities;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;

import ie.app.R;

public class Report extends AppCompatActivity
{
  ListView listView;

  static final String[] numbers = new String[] { 
      "Amount, Pay method",
      "10,     Direct",
      "100,    PayPal",
      "1000,   Direct",
      "10,     PayPal",
      "5000,   PayPal"};

  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
  {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_report);

    listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.reportList);
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,  android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, numbers); 
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);
  }
}

This will display a hard-coded lists of donations.

Change Donation activity to load this view when 'Report' selected from menu:

  @Override
  public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
  {
    switch (item.getItemId())
    {
      case R.id.menuReport : startActivity (new Intent(this, Report.class));
                             break;
    }
   return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
  }

Confirm that the activity specification has been added to the AndroidManifest.xml file:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="ie.app" >

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".activities.Donate"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".activities.Report" >
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Try it all now - it should load (like below)
