Defining a few android terms



We have to understand a few terms before continuing with android tutorials and for the good  part these are simple terms as used in android.
Activity
Activity is the presenter of a single screen in the application. It has certain abilities, like displaying views, menus, alerts and notifications. It can also call another Activity, which means opening a new screen.
Activity is a class that derives from an android.app.Activity.
An application needs to have at least one Activity.
All Activities must be declared in the manifest file.
View
A view is a single user interface element. It handles user events and draws the component on the screen.
Views can contain other Views, these are called view groups.
A View is a class that derives from android.view.View.
There are already many existing views. The developer can use them or create his own customized view by extending any of them.
Intent
Intent is the negotiator between two activities or between two applications. It gives the ability to pass messages and data between the two entities.
When writing applications for mobile, Intent gives access to OS services like opening the camera, a browser, displaying notifications and so on.
Service
A Service is an application that has the ability to run in the background without displaying any user interface.
A Service is a class that derives from android.app.Service.
All Services must be declared in the manifest file.

FIRST ANDROID PROGRAM ( HELLO - - WORLD )




Thank you for following our tutorials and always remember to leave your comment after the series, if you have not configured your  JDK visit http://mixtratechnologies.blogspot.com/2015/01/setting-up-windows-machine-jdk.html
We will be concentrating on creating the first android tutorial for dummies.
Click file and create a new android project as shown below



 Fill in the Application Name, Project Name, Package Name and select the Minimum Required SDK and the Target SDK  by choosing in the dropdown list as shown below

Fill in the fields as shown on the screen shot above.
Click on Next  button,  and  now the other important setting we need to set up before we can launch our project is setting up the launcher icon but normally if you will not set up the launcher icon the default android icon will always occur, but now I want us to set on our own icon rather than the default icon. See the screenshot below 

Navigate through the foreground buttons which are Image, Clipart and Text. For our case we will be using Text  and we set our Text to hello. We can change the font, crop the image, add shape to our text and change the Background and the Foreground colors depending on your choice.
Click Next and create the MainActivity.java and the activity_main.xml  as shown in the screen shot below.
 
 The MainActivity represents the Activity Name and activity_main represents the Layout Name. Now click finish.
This is how the android project would be like so that you cannot  have some difficult time tracing the folders. The MainActivity is in the src folder and the activity_main is in the Layout folder, as shown below


 On your IDE menu click project, then clean the project after that you are good to run your first android program

Leave your comment as always .
