how to create calculator app in android studio
In this Android tutorial we’ll learn to make a calculator APP.
Let us plan for a simple and basic functions calculator as it is for learning
purposes only. This will help you understand the layouts, buttons and action
handling.
We’ll
start with making our layout containing numeric Buttons,
operator Button, an equal Button,
a TextView and a
delete Button. Give them id according
to their name so that when we’ll write java code, it will be super helpful to
understand which buttons we are dealing with.
Follow
the method how to create
calculator app in android studio:
private void setOperatorOnClickListener() {
// Create a common OnClickListener for operators
View.OnClickListener listener = new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// If the current state is Error do not append the operator
// If the last input is number only, append the operator
if (lastNumeric && !stateError) {
Button button = (Button) v;
txtScreen.append(button.getText());
lastNumeric = false;
lastDot = false; // Reset the DOT flag
}
}
};
// Assign the listener to all the operator buttons
for (int id : operatorButtons) {
findViewById(id).setOnClickListener(listener);
}
// Decimal point
findViewById(R.id.btnDot).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (lastNumeric && !stateError && !lastDot) {
txtScreen.append(".");
lastNumeric = false;
lastDot = true;
}
}
});
// Clear button
findViewById(R.id.btnClear).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
txtScreen.setText(""); // Clear the screen
// Reset all the states and flags
lastNumeric = false;
stateError = false;
lastDot = false;
}
});
// Equal button
findViewById(R.id.btnEqual).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
onEqual();
}
});
}
/**
* Logic to calculate the solution.
*/
private void onEqual() {
// If the current state is error, nothing to do.
// If the last input is a number only, solution can be found.
if (lastNumeric && !stateError) {
// Read the expression
String txt = txtScreen.getText().toString();
// Create an Expression (A class from exp4j library)
Expression expression = new ExpressionBuilder(txt).build();
try {
// Calculate the result and display
double result = expression.evaluate();
txtScreen.setText(Double.toString(result));
lastDot = true; // Result contains a dot
} catch (ArithmeticException ex) {
// Display an error message
txtScreen.setText("Error");
stateError = true;
lastNumeric = false;
}
}
Follow the source code how to create calculator app in android studio:
1.build.gradle:
implementation 'net.objecthunter:exp4j:0.4.4'
2.Create a class MainActivity.java:

// IDs of all the operator buttons
private int[] operatorButtons = {R.id.btnAdd, R.id.btnSubtract, R.id.btnMultiply, R.id.btnDivide};
// TextView used to display the output
private TextView txtScreen;
// Represent whether the lastly pressed key is numeric or not
private boolean lastNumeric;
// Represent that current state is in error or not
private boolean stateError;
// If true, do not allow to add another DOT
