Simple Interest Calculator in Android

SimpleInterest calculator in Android is developed to calculate the simple Interest in Android apps.

Android Studio Chipmunk is used to develop this project.

Simple interest formula is p*r*t/100

activity_main.xml

Created a TextView to show messages at the top.

Create a Number (decimal) field for the Principal amount and rate.

Create a Number field for Time.

Create a button and set its text to Calculate.

Create a TextView to show simple interest.

MainActivity.java

create Textboxes and get its values using findViewById().

After getting values in the specified variable set the onClickListenert button.

the onclick listener will call calculateSimpleInterest() this method calculates the simple interest.

result.setAlpha(0.0f) is used to hide the result TextView at the start of the program.

At the method calculateSimpleIntrest() we set result.setAlpha(1.0f) to show the result TextView.

Adding Validation in form

Here we have added saripaar validation library.

To add this library open build.gradle and under dependencies add implementation 'com.mobsandgeeks:android-saripaar:2.0.3' or any updated version of library.

MainActivity must implement Validator.ValidationListener and override two methods public void onValidationFailed(List errors) and public void onValidationSucceeded().

Working code is shown below.

package com.ebhor.simpleinterest;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.mobsandgeeks.saripaar.ValidationError;
import com.mobsandgeeks.saripaar.Validator;
import com.mobsandgeeks.saripaar.annotation.NotEmpty;

import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.util.List;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Validator.ValidationListener {

    @NotEmpty(message = "Principal Amount Required")
    EditText principalEditText;
    @NotEmpty(message = "Rate Required")
    EditText rateEditText;
    @NotEmpty(message = "Time Required")
    EditText timeEditText;
    Button calculateSI;
    TextView result;
    Validator validator;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        principalEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextNumberDecimal);
        rateEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextNumberDecimal2);
        timeEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextNumber4);
        calculateSI = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
        result.setAlpha(0.0f);
        validator = new Validator(this);
        validator.setValidationListener(this);
        calculateSI.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                {
                    validator.validate();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onValidationSucceeded() {
        calculateSimpleInterest();
    }

    @Override
    public void onValidationFailed(List<ValidationError> errors) {
        for (ValidationError error : errors) {
            View view = error.getView();
            String message = error.getCollatedErrorMessage(this);

            // Display error messages ;)
            if (view instanceof EditText) {
                ((EditText) view).setError(message);
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(this, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    }

    public void calculateSimpleInterest() {
        Double principal = Double.parseDouble(principalEditText.getText().toString());
        Double rate = Double.parseDouble(rateEditText.getText().toString());
        Double time = Double.parseDouble(timeEditText.getText().toString());
        Double simpleInterest = principal * rate * time / 100;
        result.setText("Simple Interest: " + simpleInterest.toString());
        result.setAlpha(1.0f);
    }


}

package com.ebhor.simpleinterest;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.view.View;

import android.widget.Button;

import android.widget.EditText;

import android.widget.TextView;

import android.widget.Toast;

import com.mobsandgeeks.saripaar.ValidationError;

import com.mobsandgeeks.saripaar.Validator;

import com.mobsandgeeks.saripaar.annotation.NotEmpty;

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

import java.util.List;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements Validator.ValidationListener {

@NotEmpty(message = "Principal Amount Required")

EditText principalEditText;

@NotEmpty(message = "Rate Required")

EditText rateEditText;

@NotEmpty(message = "Time Required")

EditText timeEditText;

Button calculateSI;

TextView result;

Validator validator;

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

principalEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextNumberDecimal);

rateEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextNumberDecimal2);

timeEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextNumber4);

calculateSI = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);

result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);

result.setAlpha(0.0f);

validator = new Validator(this);

validator.setValidationListener(this);

calculateSI.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

@Override

public void onClick(View view) {

{

validator.validate();

}

});

}

@Override

public void onValidationSucceeded() {

calculateSimpleInterest();

}

@Override

public void onValidationFailed(List<ValidationError> errors) {

for (ValidationError error : errors) {

View view = error.getView();

String message = error.getCollatedErrorMessage(this);

// Display error messages ;)

if (view instanceof EditText) {

((EditText) view).setError(message);

} else {

Toast.makeText(this, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

}

public void calculateSimpleInterest() {

Double principal = Double.parseDouble(principalEditText.getText().toString());

Double rate = Double.parseDouble(rateEditText.getText().toString());

Double time = Double.parseDouble(timeEditText.getText().toString());

Double simpleInterest = principal * rate * time / 100;

result.setText("Simple Interest: " + simpleInterest.toString());

result.setAlpha(1.0f);

}

So here we have implemented Simple Interest Calculator in Android using validation.
