Text Photo Collage Maker – Photo Editor | Android Studio | Admob Ads

Introduction to Text Photo Collage Maker - Photo Editor

Welcome to the Text Photo Collage Maker - Photo Editor tutorial! In this tutorial, we will be using the Text Photo Collage Maker - Photo Editor, a powerful Android app development tool, to create a photo collage maker with text editing capabilities. We will also integrate AdMob ads into our app to generate revenue.

The Text Photo Collage Maker - Photo Editor is a versatile app that allows users to create stunning photo collages with customizable text, shapes, and filters. With its user-friendly interface, even beginners can create professional-looking collages in no time.

In this tutorial, we will cover the following topics:

1. Setting up the project in Android Studio
2. Creating the user interface for the photo collage maker
3. Implementing the photo collage functionality
4. Adding text editing capabilities
5. Integrating AdMob ads
6. Testing and debugging the app

Step 1: Setting up the project in Android Studio

To get started, open Android Studio and create a new project. Choose "Empty Activity" as the project template and name your project "Text Photo Collage Maker".

Next, create a new directory for your project and add the following folders:

• assets - for storing images and other assets
• java - for storing Java code
• res - for storing resource files (e.g. layouts, drawables, etc.)
• values - for storing string resources

Step 2: Creating the user interface for the photo collage maker

In this step, we will create the user interface for the photo collage maker. Create a new layout file (activity_main.xml) and add the following code:

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

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/image_view"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/edit_text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Enter text" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Create Collage" />

</LinearLayout>

This layout consists of an ImageView for displaying the collage, an EditText for entering text, and a Button for creating the collage.

Step 3: Implementing the photo collage functionality

In this step, we will implement the photo collage functionality. Create a new Java class (MainActivity.java) and add the following code:

import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.MediaStore;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ImageView;

import java.io.IOException;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private ImageView imageView;
    private EditText editText;
    private Button button;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        imageView = findViewById(R.id.image_view);
        editText = findViewById(R.id.edit_text);
        button = findViewById(R.id.button);

        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // Create a new collage
                Bitmap bitmap = createCollage();
                imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
            }
        });
    }

    private Bitmap createCollage() {
        // Create a new bitmap for the collage
        Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(800, 600, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

        // Draw the background
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE);

        // Draw the images
        //...

        // Draw the text
        //...

        return bitmap;
    }
}

In this code, we create a new Bitmap for the collage and draw the background, images, and text on it. We also set the OnClickListener for the button to create a new collage when clicked.

Step 4: Adding text editing capabilities

In this step, we will add text editing capabilities to our app. Create a new Java class (TextEditor.java) and add the following code:

import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.graphics.Typeface;

public class TextEditor {
    private Canvas canvas;
    private Paint paint;
    private Path path;
    private Rect rect;

    public TextEditor(Canvas canvas, Paint paint) {
        this.canvas = canvas;
        this.paint = paint;
        this.path = new Path();
        this.rect = new Rect();
    }

    public void setText(String text) {
        // Draw the text on the canvas
        paint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        paint.setTextSize(24);
        paint.setTypeface(Typeface.SERIF);
        canvas.drawText(text, rect, paint);
    }

    public void setFontFamily(String fontFamily) {
        // Set the font family for the text
        paint.setTypeface(Typeface.create(fontFamily, Typeface.NORMAL));
    }

    public void setFontSize(int fontSize) {
        // Set the font size for the text
        paint.setTextSize(fontSize);
    }

    public void setFontColor(int fontColor) {
        // Set the font color for the text
        paint.setColor(fontColor);
    }
}

This class provides methods for setting the text, font family, font size, and font color.

Step 5: Integrating AdMob ads

In this step, we will integrate AdMob ads into our app. Create a new Java class (AdMob.java) and add the following code:

import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView;

public class AdMob {
    private AdView adView;

    public AdMob(Context context) {
        adView = new AdView(context);
        adView.setAdUnitId("YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID");
        adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
        adView.loadAd(new AdRequest.Builder().build());
    }

    public void showAd() {
        // Show the ad
        adView.show();
    }
}

This class provides a method for showing the ad.

Step 6: Testing and debugging the app

In this step, we will test and debug our app. Use the Android emulator or a physical device to test the app. Make sure to replace the YOUR_AD_UNIT_ID placeholder with your actual AdMob ad unit ID.

That's it! You have now completed the Text Photo Collage Maker - Photo Editor tutorial. With this tutorial, you should be able to create a photo collage maker with text editing capabilities and integrate AdMob ads into your app.
