Enter the attendance timings using Room Database and Huawei Analytics Kit in Attendance Tracker Android app (Kotlin) Part 5

Introduction

In this article, we can learn about that how to enter In Time and Out time of an users by the Room Database and also we can integrate the Analytics Kit for event tracking.

Room is an ORM (Object Relational Mapping) library. In other words, Room will map our database objects to Java objects. Room provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow fluent database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite. Room can provide to create sqlite databases and perform the operations like create, read, update and delete.

So, I will provide the series of articles on this Attendance Tracker App, in upcoming articles I will integrate other Huawei Kits.

If you are new to this application, follow my previous articles

Analytics Kit

HUAWEI Analytics Kit provides analysis models to understand user behaviour and gain in-depth insights into users, products and content. It helps you to gain insight about user behaviour on different platforms based on the user behaviour events and user attributes reported by through apps.

AppGallery Connect

Find the Analytics using AppGallery connect dashboard.

Choose My Projects > Huawei Analytics > Overview > Project overview.

Project overview displays the core indicators of current project, such as the number of new users, User activity, User acquisition, User revisit, New user retention, Active user retention, User characteristics and Popular pages etc. providing a quick overview of the users and how they are using your app.

Requirements

Any operating system (MacOS, Linux and Windows).
Must have a Huawei phone with HMS 4.0.0.300 or later.
Must have a laptop or desktop with Android Studio, Jdk 1.8, SDK platform 26 and Gradle 4.6 and above installed.
Minimum API Level 24 is required.
Required EMUI 9.0.0 and later version devices.

How to integrate HMS Dependencies

First register as Huawei developer and complete identity verification in Huawei developers website, refer to register a Huawei ID.
Create a project in android studio, refer Creating an Android Studio Project.
Generate a SHA-256 certificate fingerprint.
To generate SHA-256 certificate fingerprint. On right-upper corner of android project click Gradle, choose Project Name > Tasks > android, and then click signingReport, as follows.

Note: Project Name depends on the user created name.

Create an App in AppGallery Connect.
Download the agconnect-services.json file from App information, copy and paste in android Project under app directory, as follows.

Enter SHA-256 certificate fingerprint and click Save button, as follows.

Click Manage APIs tab and enable HUAWEI Analytics.

Add the below maven URL in build.gradle(Project) file under the repositories of buildscript, dependencies and allprojects, refer Add Configuration.maven { url 'http://developer.huawei.com/repo/' }classpath 'com.huawei.agconnect:agcp:1.6.0.300'
Add the below plugin and dependencies in build.gradle(Module) file.apply plugin: id 'com.huawei.agconnect'apply plugin: id 'kotlin-kapt'// Huawei AGCimplementation 'com.huawei.agconnect:agconnect-core:1.6.0.300'// Room Databaseimplementation "androidx.room:room-runtime:2.4.2"kapt "androidx.room:room-compiler:2.4.2"implementation "androidx.room:room-ktx:2.4.2"androidTestImplementation "androidx.room:room-testing:2.4.2"// Lifecycle componentsimplementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.2.0"implementation "androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.4.1"// Recyclerviewimplementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.1'// Huawei Analyticsimplementation 'com.huawei.hms:hianalytics:6.4.0.300'
Now Sync the gradle.
Add the required permission to the AndroidManifest.xml file.<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Let us move to development

I have created a project on Android studio with empty activity let us start coding.

Initialize Huawei Analytics and enable it.
`// Initialize the Analytics
var mInstance: HiAnalyticsInstance? = null
// Initialize the Analytics function
initAna()

private fun initAna() {
// Enable Analytics Kit Log
HiAnalyticsTools.enableLog()
// Generate the Analytics Instance
mInstance = HiAnalytics.getInstance(this)
// Enable collection capability
mInstance?.setAnalyticsEnabled(true)
}`

Create a PunchRecord.kt class annotated with @Entity to create a table for each class.
@Entity(tableName = "punchrecords") data class PunchRecord( @PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true) val id: Long, val empid: String, val intime: String, val outtime: String )

Create a PunchRecordDao.kt interface class annotated with @dao and responsible for defining the methods that access the database.
`@dao
interface PunchRecordDao {
@Query("SELECT * from punchrecords")
fun punchgetall(): LiveData>

@Insert(onConflict = OnConflictStrategy.ABORT)suspend fun insert(item: PunchRecord)@Query("SELECT * FROM punchrecords WHERE punchrecords.id == :id")fun get(id: Long): LiveData<PunchRecord>@Updatesuspend fun update(vararg items: PunchRecord)@Deletesuspend fun delete(vararg items: PunchRecord)

Create a AppRoomDatabase.kt abstract class that extends RoomDatabase annotated with @Database to lists the entities contained in the database, and the DAOs which access them.
`@Database(entities = [PunchRecord::class], version = 1)
abstract class PunchAppRoomDatabase : RoomDatabase() {

abstract fun punchrecordDao(): PunchRecordDaocompanion object {    @Volatile    private var INSTANCE: RoomDatabase? = null    fun getDatabase(context: Context): PunchAppRoomDatabase {        val tempInstance = INSTANCE        if (tempInstance != null) {            return tempInstance as PunchAppRoomDatabase        }        synchronized(this) {            val instance = Room.databaseBuilder(context.applicationContext,PunchAppRoomDatabase::class.java,                "datarecords_database").fallbackToDestructiveMigration()                .build()            INSTANCE = instance            return instance        }    }}

Create a PunchRepository.kt class to find the functions.
`class PunchRepository(private val punchDao: PunchRecordDao) {

val myallItems: LiveData<List<PunchRecord>> = punchDao.punchgetall()fun getrepo(id: Long):LiveData<PunchRecord> {    return punchDao.get(id)}suspend fun updatepunch(item: PunchRecord) {    punchDao.update(item)}suspend fun insertpunch(item: PunchRecord) {    punchDao.insert(item)}suspend fun deletepunch(item: PunchRecord) {    punchDao.delete(item)}

Create a PunchViewModel.kt class that extends AndroidViewModel and provides the PunchRepository functions.
`class PunchViewModel(application: Application): AndroidViewModel(application) {

private val repository: PunchRepositoryval allPunchItems: LiveData<List<PunchRecord>>init {    Log.d(ContentValues.TAG, "Inside ViewModel init")    val dao = PunchAppRoomDatabase.getDatabase(application).punchrecordDao()    repository = PunchRepository(dao)    allPunchItems = repository.myallItems}fun insert(item: PunchRecord) = viewModelScope.launch {    repository.insertpunch(item)}fun update(item: PunchRecord) = viewModelScope.launch {    repository.updatepunch(item)}fun delete(item: PunchRecord) = viewModelScope.launch {    repository.deletepunch(item)}fun get(id: Long) = repository.getrepo(id)

In the EmpLoginActivity.kt activity to find the business logic for button click.
`class EmpLoginActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

private var buttonAddPunch: Button? = nullprivate lateinit var myViewModel: PunchViewModeloverride fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)    setContentView(R.layout.activity_emp_login)    val recyclerView = recyclerview_list    val adapter = PunchAdapter(this)    recyclerView.adapter = adapter    recyclerView.layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(this)    buttonAddPunch = findViewById(R.id.btn_punch)    buttonAddPunch!!.setOnClickListener(View.OnClickListener {        val intent = Intent(this, TimeActivity::class.java)        startActivity(intent)    })    myViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this)[PunchViewModel::class.java]    myViewModel.allPunchItems.observe(this, Observer { items ->        items?.let { adapter.setItems(it) }    })}

Create a PunchAdapter.kt adapter class to hold the list.
`class PunchAdapter internal constructor (context: Context) : RecyclerView.Adapter() {

private val inflater: LayoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context)private var itemsList = emptyList<PunchRecord>().toMutableList()private val onClickListener: View.OnClickListenerinit {    onClickListener = View.OnClickListener { v ->        val item = v.tag as PunchRecord        Log.d(TAG, "Setting onClickListener for item ${item.id}")        val intent = Intent(v.context, TimeActivity::class.java).apply {            putExtra(DATA_RECORD_ID, item.id)        }        v.context.startActivity(intent)    }}inner class PunchRecordViewHolder(itemView: View) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(itemView) {    val itemId: TextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.datarecord_viewholder_id)    val itemID: TextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.punch_id)    val itemInTime: TextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.punch_in)    val itemOutTime: TextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.punch_out)}override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): PunchRecordViewHolder {    val itemView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.punch_list, parent, false)    return PunchRecordViewHolder(itemView)}override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: PunchRecordViewHolder, position: Int) {    val current = itemsList[position]    // Needed: will be referenced in the View.OnClickListener above    holder.itemView.tag = current    with(holder) {        // Set UI values        itemId.text = current.id.toString()        // itemRecord.text = current.record        itemID.text = current.empid        itemInTime.text = current.intime        itemOutTime.text = current.outtime        // Set handlers        itemView.setOnClickListener(onClickListener)    }}internal fun setItems(items: List<PunchRecord>) {    this.itemsList = items.toMutableList()    notifyDataSetChanged()}override fun getItemCount() = itemsList.sizecompanion object {    const val DATA_RECORD_ID : String = "datarecord_id"}

In the TimeActivity.kt activity to find the business logic to add In Time and Out Time.
`class TimeActivity : AppCompatActivity(), DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener, TimePickerDialog.OnTimeSetListener {

private lateinit var dataViewModel: PunchViewModelprivate var recordId: Long = 0Lprivate var isEdit: Boolean = falsevar day = 0var month = 0var year = 0var hour = 0var minute = 0var savedDay = 0var savedMonth = 0var savedYear = 0var savedHour = 0var savedMinute = 0var isInTime : Boolean = falsevar isOutTime : Boolean = falseoverride fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)    setContentView(R.layout.activity_time)    dataViewModel = ViewModelProvider(this)[PunchViewModel::class.java]    if (intent.hasExtra(PunchAdapter.DATA_RECORD_ID)) {        recordId = intent.getLongExtra(PunchAdapter.DATA_RECORD_ID, 0L)        dataViewModel.get(recordId).observe(this, Observer {            val viewId = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.datarecord_id)            val viewEmpid = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.edtpunch_id)            val viewInTime = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.edtpunch_intime)            val viewOutTime = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.edtpunch_outtime)            if (it != null) {                // populate with data                viewId.text = it.id.toString()                viewEmpid.setText(it.empid)                viewInTime.setText(it.intime)                viewOutTime.setText(it.outtime)            }        })        isEdit = true    }    edtpunch_intime.setOnClickListener{        isInTime = true        isOutTime = false        getDateTimeCalendar()        DatePickerDialog(this,this,year,month,day ).show()    }    edtpunch_outtime.setOnClickListener{        getDateTimeCalendar()        isInTime = false        isOutTime = true        DatePickerDialog(this,this,year, month, day ).show()    }    btnpunch_save.setOnClickListener { view ->        val id = 0L        val mEmpid = edtpunch_id.text.toString()        val mInTime = edtpunch_intime.text.toString()        val mOutTime = edtpunch_outtime.text.toString()        if (mEmpid.isBlank() ) {            Toast.makeText(this, "Employee ID is blank", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()        }        else if (mInTime.isBlank()) {            Toast.makeText(this, "In Time is blank", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()        }        else if(mOutTime.isBlank()) {            Toast.makeText(this, "Out Time is blank", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()        }        else {            val item = PunchRecord(id = id, empid = mEmpid, intime = mInTime, outtime = mOutTime)            dataViewModel.insert(item)            finish()        }    }    btnpunch_update.setOnClickListener { view ->        val id = datarecord_id.text.toString().toLong()        val nEmpid = edtpunch_id.text.toString()        val nInTime = edtpunch_intime.text.toString()        val nOutTime = edtpunch_outtime.text.toString()        if (nEmpid.isBlank() && nInTime.isBlank() && nOutTime.isBlank()) {            Toast.makeText(this, "Empty data is not allowed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()        } else {            val item = PunchRecord(id = id, empid = nEmpid, intime = nInTime, outtime = nOutTime)            dataViewModel.update(item)            finish()        }    }    btnpunch_delete.setOnClickListener {        val id = datarecord_id.text.toString().toLong()        val nEmpid = edtpunch_id.text.toString()        val nInTime = edtpunch_intime.text.toString()        val nOutTime = edtpunch_outtime.text.toString()        val item = PunchRecord( id =id, empid = nEmpid, intime = nInTime, outtime = nOutTime)        dataViewModel.delete(item)        finish()    }}private fun getDateTimeCalendar(){    val cal: Calendar = Calendar.getInstance()    day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)    month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)    year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR)    hour = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR)    minute = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)}override fun onDateSet(view: DatePicker?, year: Int, month: Int, dayOfMonth: Int) {    savedDay = dayOfMonth    savedMonth = month    savedYear = year    getDateTimeCalendar()    TimePickerDialog(this, this, hour, minute, true).show()}override fun onTimeSet(view: TimePicker?, hourOfDay: Int, minute: Int) {    savedHour = hourOfDay    savedMinute = minute    if (isInTime) {        edtpunch_intime.setText("$savedDay-$savedMonth-$savedYear, $savedHour:$savedMinute")    }    if (isOutTime) {        edtpunch_outtime.setText("$savedDay-$savedMonth-$savedYear, $savedHour:$savedMinute")    }}

Tips and Tricks

Make sure you are already registered as Huawei developer.
Set minSDK version to 24 or later, otherwise you will get AndriodManifest merge issue.
Make sure you have added the agconnect-services.json file to app folder.
Make sure you have added SHA-256 fingerprint without fail.
Make sure all the dependencies are added properly.
