designing UI, debugging, and testing Android applications.

Procedure
1. Open Android Studio.
2. Click New Project.
3. Select Empty Views Activity.
4. Enter project name.
5. Choose Java language.
6. Click Finish.

Result
Android project was created successfully.

Experiment 2 Aim
To create a simple TextView and Button application.

XML Code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello Android"
android:textSize="24sp"/>

[Link];
import
[Link];
import
[Link];
import
[Link];

import

[Link];

public class MainActivity extends

AppCompatActivity {

EditText editText;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
[Link](savedInstanceState);
setContentView([Link].activity_main);

editText =
findViewById([Link]); button
= findViewById([Link]);

3
 });
}
}

Result
Toast message displayed successfully.

Experiment 4 Aim
To study Android Activity Lifecycle.

Theory
The Android Activity Lifecycle describes different states of an activity.

Main lifecycle methods:

To perform navigation between activities using Intent.

4
Java Code
Intent intent = new
Intent([Link],
[Link]);
startActivity(intent);

Result
Navigation between activities performed successfully.

Experiment 6 Aim
To display items using ListView.

Java Code
String[] data = {"Android", "Java", "Firebase"};

ArrayAdapter<String>
adapter = new
ArrayAdapter<>(this,
[Link].simple_list_i
tem_1, data);

[Link](adapter);

Result
ListView displayed items successfully.

Experiment 7 Aim
To study RecyclerView in Android.

5
Theory
RecyclerView is an advanced and flexible version of ListView used to display large data efficiently.

Advantages
•Better performance
•Reusable views
•Supports card layouts
•Smooth scrolling

Result
