Android Tutorial: Calculator App Example with Java Code
A year ago I started going through the CS 193P iPhone Application Development.
The following code is a simple Android Calculator that I have converted from the work I did for the above online class. It was my starting point into android and it’s simple enough as it’s just one activity.
Create a new Android Application Project. Let’s say your Application Name is “Calculator”, your Project Name is “Calculator”, and your Package Name is “com.example.calculator”. Setup the project with the default settings. Now replace MainActivity.java, activity_main.xml (in res/layout), & strings.xml (in res/values) with the code below. Next, create a new class “CalculatorBrain” and replace CalculatorBrain.java with the code below. Finally, create a new xml file “activity_main” (in res/layout-land) (yes, you will have to create the folder too.) and replace activity_main.xml (in res/layout-land) with the code below. Make sure your package names are changed from “com.himebaugh.calculator” to “com.example.calculator” (or whatever your package is).
The calculator should run without errors! When you rotate the android device, the screen will change to display additional keys for operations like cosine and square root.
Download this Free Calculator App from the Google Play Store

Good Luck & Enjoy!

Just wanted to say that this was a great tutorial. It had some code errors when I tried to compile it with the newer libraries, but still works well, and is a great basis for starting a more complex calculator. Thanks for sharing.
thanks a lot ….it worked is executing and showing no error
but
calculator is
NOT FUNCTIONING
It works for me. Have you updated to the latest API (17) in the SDK manager?
can u tell us how to remove leading 0
I only have a leading 0 when the value is 0. Then it shows 0.0 I don’t know how to change it. Maybe someone else will comment on this. It seems similar to how other calculators work.
this will remove 0.0 thanks to vikram from stackflow
if (new Double(brain.getResult()).equals(0.0)){calculatorDisplay.setText("" + 0);
} else {
calculatorDisplay.setText(df.format(brain.getResult()));
}
The code has been place on GitHub. Download at https://github.com/langhimebaugh/Calculator
thanks you sir I find this project very helpful. However I have this error. Somehow the java code that contains the codes when square root is clicked shows an error. I had to comment them to run the app. Either way it is still very helpful. Thank you sir.
Excellent article!
