Start Up

When the app loads three lists are created, data are added to them and the list pickers are populated:

Show Flags

To reduce repetition, a procedure called showFlags is created to grab flag images from countryflags.io. The flagFrom and flagTo variables will be updated every time the user picks a language from the list picker.

Because we’re using parallel lists we can use the selection index to get the appropriate language code and country flag from their respective lists and the showFlags procedure helps keep things neat and tidy.

Requesting a translation

When the Buttons is pressed these are the blocks we need to build a valid API request:

Sir i just want list view instead of list picker i want it works the same way asu told in the video

If you have to use multiple screens then here’s a tutorial for sending data between screens:

But I don’t really think you need two screens for this, as your app will be a lot slower having to go back aand forth between screens so often. Why not use your buttons to toggle the visibility of your listView? This way everything can be kept on the same screen.

Sir can u tel me how to make offline translator with photo translate feature
