Explore Android application development fundamentals by learning core components—activities, services, content providers, and broadcast receivers—and how these elements power visible user interfaces, background processing, and data access.
Explore Android platform elements, including the Linux 2.6 kernel and dalvik virtual machine. Understand graphics via OpenGL, the git-based browser, and data storage in the escalate database.
Download the Android development tools bundle for Windows, the ADT bundle, which includes Eclipse, the ADT plugin, Android SDK tools, platform tools, the latest Android platform, and the emulator.
Identify prerequisites for Android app development: Java, XML, Eclipse, object oriented programming, and Android user experience. Review Android versions and API levels from cupcake to jelly bean and APK packaging.
Set up the Android development tools bundle on Windows, create an Android application project in Eclipse, configure the workspace and launcher icon, then explore the main activity and project structure.
Discover the Android project structure of App one, from the source folder and package to main activity and layouts, and examine the manifest, resources, assets, and visual editor workflows.
Explore Android activities by building a simple main activity, wiring onCreate, and setting the content view to activity_main, then run the app on an Android virtual device emulator.
Navigate Android app layout with a visual editor, drag-and-drop controls, and layouts like linear, relative, frame, and table; add buttons, edit properties, and run the app.
Learn to work with text in Android layouts, customize text properties, color, bold, and size, and access input by referencing an EditText, getting text, and converting it to a string.
Explore Android buttons and layout, including normal, toggle, and image buttons, and learn to set text, hint, and color, rename, reference by id, and save changes.
Understand the Android manifest file, its package name, version code and name, and label, plus extras like permissions, instrumentation, XML source to export and install the app on a device.
Develop a simple Android app that takes text input via an edit text and opens a second activity on button click to display the text.
Create a second activity, pass data via an intent using putExtra, and display the received string in a text view by retrieving it with getStringExtra from the intent.
Start another activity from main activity, pass extra data via an intent, type text in edit text, tap hello button, and see second activity display data on the emulator.
