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

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 "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 "Next" button.

Android Studio

Add Activity name and click "Finish".

Android Studio 

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 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 given below.

  110.   
  111. </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

  1. <resources>  
  2.     <string name="app_name">EMI Calculator</string>  
  3.     <string name="hint_principal">Principal Amount ₹</string>  
  4.     <string name="hint_interest">Interest rate per Year %</string>  
  5.     <string name="hint_years">How Many Years</string>  
  6.     <string name="hint_emi">EMI ₹</string>  
  7.     <string name="hint_interest_total">Total Interest for Loan ₹</string>  
  8. </resources>   

Step 7

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

  1. package abu.emicalculator;  
  2.   
  3. import android.os.Bundle;  
  4. import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;

  8. import android.widget.EditText;  
  9.   
  10.   
  11. public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {  
  12.   
  13.     Button emiCalcBtn;  
  14.

  52.   
  53.                 if (TextUtils.isEmpty(st3)) {  
  54.                     Y.setError("Enter Years");  
  55.                     Y.requestFocus();  
  56.                     return;

  60.                 float i = Float.parseFloat(st2);  
  61.                 float y = Float.parseFloat(st3);  
  62.   
  63.                 float Principal = calPric(p);  
  64.   
  65.                 float Rate = calInt(i);  
  66.   
  67.                 float Months = calMonth(y);  
  68.   
  69.                 float Dvdnt = calDvdnt( Rate, Months);  
  70.   
  71.                 float FD = calFinalDvdnt (Principal, Rate, Dvdnt);  
  72.   
  73.                 float D = calDivider(Dvdnt);

  75.                 float emi = calEmi(FD, D);  
  76.   
  77.                 float TA = calTa (emi, Months);  
  78.   
  79.                 float ti = calTotalInt(TA, Principal);  
  80.   
  81.   
  82.   
  83.                 result.setText(String.valueOf(emi));  
  84.   
  85.   
  86.   
  87.   
  88.                 TI.setText(String.valueOf(ti));  
  89.   
  90.             }  
  91.         });  
  92.     }  
  93.   
  94.     public  float calPric(float p) {  
  95.   
  96.         return (float) (p);  
  97.   
  98.     }  
  99.   
  100.     public  float calInt(float i) {  
  101.   
  102.         return (float) (i/12/100);

  104.     }  
  105.   
  106.     public  float calMonth(float y) {  
  107.   
  108.         return (float) (y * 12);  
  109.   
  110.     }  
  111.   
  112.     public  float calDvdnt(float Rate, float Months) {  
  113.   
  114.         return (float) (Math.pow(1+Rate, Months));  
  115.   
  116.     }  
  117.   
  118.     public  float calFinalDvdnt(float Principal, float Rate, float Dvdnt) {  
  119.   
  120.         return (float) (Principal * Rate * Dvdnt);  
  121.

  138.         return (float) (emi*Months);  
  139.   
  140.     }  
  141.   
  142.     public  float calTotalInt(float TA, float Principal) {  
  143.   
  144.         return (float) (TA - Principal);  
  145.   
  146.     }  
  147. }   

Step 8

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

Android Studio

Step 9

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

Android Studio
