How To Develop A Simple EMI Calculator Using Android Studio

Introduction

Android is one of the most popular operating systems for mobile. In this article, I will show you how to create a Simple EMI Calculator Android application using Android Studio.

Requirements

Android Studio version 2.3.3
Little bit XML and JAVA knowledge.
Android Emulator (or) Android mobile
Download link (Android Studio)

Steps to be followed

These steps are required to create a simple EMI Calculator Android application using Android Studio and I have included the source code below.

Step 1

Open Android Studio and Start a New Android Studio Project.

Android Studio

Step 2

You can choose your application name and choose where your project is stored on the location. If you wish to use C++ for coding the project, mark the "Include C++ support", and click the "Next" button.

Android Studio

Now, select the version of Android and select the target Android devices.

Android Studio

Step 3

Now, add the activity and click the "Next" button.

Android Studio

Add Activity name and click "Finish".

Formula

Here’s the formula to calculate EMI,

Android Studio

where,

E is EMI
P is Principal Loan Amount
r is the rate of interest calculated on a monthly basis.
n is loan term/tenure/duration in number of months

Step 4

Go to activity_main.xml. This XML file contains the designing code for an Android app in the activity_main.xml,

Android Studio

The XML code is given below.

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
tools:context="abu.emicalculator.MainActivity"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp">
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/input_layout_principal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/principal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:inputType="number"
android:digits="0123456789."
android:hint="@string/hint_principal" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/input_layout_interest"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/interest"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:inputType="number"
android:digits="0123456789."
android:hint="@string/hint_interest" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/input_layout_tenure"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/years"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number"
android:digits="0123456789."
android:hint="@string/hint_years" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<Button android:id="@+id/btn_calculate2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Calculate"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_marginTop="40dp"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"/>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/input_layout_emi"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="40dp">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/emi"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxEms="0"
android:inputType="number"
android:hint="@string/hint_emi" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:id="@+id/input_layout_total_Interest"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
<EditText
android:id="@+id/interest_total"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="number"
android:hint="@string/hint_interest_total" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v4.widget.NestedScrollView>
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Step 5

Go to (gradle scripts ⇒ build.gradle(moduleapp). And, add the below code.

Android Studio

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.0'

Step 6

Go to (App ⇒ Res ⇒values⇒String.xml).

Android Studio

The string XML Code Given Below

<resources>
<string name="app_name">EMI Calculator</string>
<string name="hint_principal">Principal Amount ₹</string>
<string name="hint_interest">Interest rate per Year %</string>
<string name="hint_years">How Many Years</string>
<string name="hint_emi">EMI ₹</string>
<string name="hint_interest_total">Total Interest for Loan ₹</string>
</resources>

Step 7

Go to Main Activity.java. This Java program is the back-end language for Android. The Java code is given below.

package abu.emicalculator;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button emiCalcBtn;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final EditText P = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.principal);
final EditText I = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.interest);
final EditText Y = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.years);
final EditText TI = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.interest_total);
final EditText result = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.emi);
emiCalcBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_calculate2);
emiCalcBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
String st1 = P.getText().toString();
String st2 = I.getText().toString();
String st3 = Y.getText().toString();
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(st1)) {
P.setError("Enter Prncipal Amount");
P.requestFocus();
return;
}
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(st2)) {
I.setError("Enter Interest Rate");
I.requestFocus();
return;
}
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(st3)) {
Y.setError("Enter Years");
Y.requestFocus();
return;
}
float p = Float.parseFloat(st1);
float i = Float.parseFloat(st2);
float y = Float.parseFloat(st3);
float Principal = calPric(p);
float Rate = calInt(i);
float Months = calMonth(y);
float Dvdnt = calDvdnt(Rate, Months);
float FD = calFinalDvdnt(Principal, Rate, Dvdnt);
float D = calDivider(Dvdnt);
float emi = calEmi(FD, D);
float TA = calTa(emi, Months);
float ti = calTotalInt(TA, Principal);
result.setText(String.valueOf(emi));
TI.setText(String.valueOf(ti));
}
});
}
public float calPric(float p) {
return (float)(p);
}
public float calInt(float i) {
return (float)(i / 12 / 100);
}
public float calMonth(float y) {
return (float)(y * 12);
}
public float calDvdnt(float Rate, float Months) {
return (float)(Math.pow(1 + Rate, Months));
}
public float calFinalDvdnt(float Principal, float Rate, float Dvdnt) {
return (float)(Principal * Rate * Dvdnt);
}
public float calDivider(float Dvdnt) {
return (float)(Dvdnt - 1);
}
public float calEmi(float FD, Float D) {
return (float)(FD / D);
}
public float calTa(float emi, Float Months) {
return (float)(emi * Months);
}
public float calTotalInt(float TA, float Principal) {
return (float)(TA - Principal);
}
}

Step 8

Now, either go to the menu bar and click "Make a project" or press ctrl+f9 to debug the error.

Android Studio

Step 9

Then, click the Run button or press shift+f10 to run the project. Select the "virtual machine" option and click OK.

Android Studio

Conclusion

We have successfully created a Simple EMI Calculator app for Android using Android Studio.
