How to Create Block Programmatically in Drupal 7

How to Create Block Programmatically in Drupal 7:

I try to create with block with update hook but failed. So have to check out with another method which is hook_block. We need to use the following hook:

• hook_block_info : To define custom block and display block at administration page

• hook_block_configure : To define custom block configuration block (e.g. title, body, text format)

• hook_block_save : To save configuration option from hook_block_configure()

• hook_block_view : To build the contents of the block, can include functionality code

The following link explain how to use the hook
References: http://fourkitchens.com/blog/2012/07/18/building-custom-blocks-drupal-7

The following is the sample how to set text format:

function MODULE_block_configure($delta=''){
  $form = array();

  switch ($delta) {
    case 'blockname':
      # Text field form element
    $form['text_body'] = array(
      '#type' => 'text_format',
      '#title' => t('Enter your html code'),
      '#default_value' => variable_get('text_variable',''),
      '#format' => 'full_html',
      );
      break;
  }
  return $form;
}

function yourmodule_xmlrpc() {
  return array(
    'yourmethodName' => 'yourfunctionName',
    array(
      'yourmethodName',      'yourfunctionName',      array(  // The element might be diff and it base on application call back and answer
        'boolean',  //The first element of this array is the type of return value 
        'string',   //You can do just answer or more elements
        'string',
        'string',
        'string',
        'string',
      ),
      t('Handling ping request'),
    ),
  );
}

// Assume you need to save parameter4 which is array into node table

function yourfunctionName($parameter1, $parameter2, $parameter3, $parameter4) {        

      foreach($parameter4 as $arr){

            $node = new stdClass();

            $node->type ='contenttypename';

            $node->title = $arr['title'];

            $node->status;
            $node->body[$node->language][0]['format'] = 'full_html';

            $node->body[$node->language][0]['summary'] = text_summary($arr['body']);

            $node->body[$node->language][0]['value']   = $arr['body'];

            if($node = node_submit($node)){

                 node_save($node);

           }


       }

      $answer = array('code', 'record saved');
