 EXPERIMENT NO: 3

AIM: Develop an application for displaying “Hello world”.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this experiment is:

3. Create a most basic project in Android Studio using java.

4. Run the project on AVD and understand the steps to create emulation devices.

OUTCOMES:
After completing the Experiment#2 students will be able to:
1. Understand steps of project creation in Android Studio.
2. Understand Android studio tool tabs and button function.
3. Able to run the ready project and see the emulation output on emulator.

PRE-REQUISITES:
1. Understanding of Android Studio.
2. Basics of Coding and Drag drop tool based GUI designing.

THEORY:

1. Steps For Creating a new project:

Open Android Studio(Flamingo Version)

File --> new project -->select Phone and Tablet --> select Empty View Activity --> Click Next

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 20 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 Following window appears:

1. In the next window, enter Hello World for the Name.

2. Accept the default com.example.helloworld for the Package name, or create a unique package
name. If you are not planning to publish your app, you can accept the default. Be aware that
changing the package name of your app later is extra work.

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 21 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 3. Verify that the default Save location is where you want to store your Hello World app and other
Android Studio projects, or change it to your preferred directory.
4. Ensure that the selected language is Java; if it is not, use the dropdown menu to set it.
5. Ensure that API 21: Android 5.0 (Lollipop) is set as the Minimum SDK; if it is not, use the
dropdown menu to set it.
6. Check the option to Use legacy android.support libraries (Note: newer codelabs will leave this
unchecked). As of this writing, these settings make your Hello World app compatible with 98%
of Android devices active on the Google Play store.
7. Click Finish

Android Studio creates a folder for your projects, and builds the project with Gradle (this may take a few
minutes).

Following Andriod Studio Editor window will appear.

Just wait and don’t click anywhere ,a new window will automatically appear with avtivity_main.xml and
MainActivity.java tabs.
The Android Studio editor appears. Follow these steps:
Click the activity_main.xml tab to see the layout editor.
Click the layout editor Design tab, if not already selected, to show a graphical rendition of the layout as
shown below.
Click the MainActivity.java tab to see the code editor as shown below.

2. Explore the Project > Android pane

In this practical, you will explore how the project is organized in Android Studio.
If not already selected, click the Project tab in the vertical tab column on the left side of the Android
Studio window. The Project pane appears.
To view the project in the standard Android project hierarchy, choose Android from the dropdown menu
at the top of the Project pane, as shown below.

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 22 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 3. Explore the Gradle Scripts folder

The Gradle build system in Android Studio makes it easy to include external binaries or other library
modules to your build as dependencies.

When you first create an app project, the Project > Android pane appears with the Gradle Scripts folder
expanded as shown below.

Follow these steps to explore the Gradle system:

1. If the Gradle Scripts folder is not expanded, click the arrow to expand it.This folder contains all
the files needed by the build system.
2. Look for the settings.gradle (Project Settings) file.

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 23 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 This is where you'll find the project-level repository settings and the modules to include when building
your app. The Gradle settings file is part of the standard project structure for an Android app. Most of the
time, you won't need to make any changes to this file, but it's still useful to understand its contents.

By default, the settings file uses the pluginManagement block to configure the repositories Gradle uses to
search or download the Gradle plugins and their transitive dependencies.
The dependencyResolutionManagement block configures the repositories and dependencies used by all
modules in your project, such as libraries that you are using to create your application. When your
dependency is something other than a local library or file tree, Gradle looks for the files in whichever
online repositories are specified in the repositories block of this file. By default, new Android Studio
projects declare MavenCentral and Google (which includes the Google Maven repository) as the
repository locations:

4. Explore the app and res folders

All code and resources for the app are located within the app and res folders.

1. Expand the app folder, the java folder, and the com.example.helloworld folder to see
the MainActivity java file. Double-clicking the file opens it in the code editor.

On the right hand side Code and Design Buttons enable us to change the code in XML and see design
Changes. Also the Design changes ultimately change the code and vice versa.

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 24 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 The java folder includes Java class files in three subfolders, as shown in the figure above.
The com.example.helloworld (or the domain name you have specified) folder contains all the files for an
app package. The other two folders are used for testing and described in another lesson. For the Hello
World app, there is only one package and it contains MainActivity.java. The name of the
first Activity (screen) the user sees, which also initializes app-wide resources, is customarily
called MainActivity (the file extension is omitted in the Project > Android pane).

2. Expand the res folder and the layout folder, and double-click the activity_main.xml file to open
it in the layout editor.

The res folder holds resources, such as layouts, strings, and images. An Activity is usually associated
with a layout of UI views defined as an XML file. This file is usually named after its Activity.

5. Explore the manifests folder

The manifests folder contains files that provide essential information about your app to the Android
system, which the system must have before it can run any of the app's code.

1. Expand the manifests folder.

2. Open the AndroidManifest.xml file.

The AndroidManifest.xml file describes all of the components of your Android app. All components for
an app, such as each Activity, must be declared in this XML file. In other course lessons you will modify
this file to add features and feature permissions. For an introduction, see App Manifest Overview.

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 25 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 6. Use a virtual device (emulator)

In this task, you will use the Device Manager to create a virtual device (also known as an emulator) that
simulates the configuration for a particular type of Android device, and use that virtual device to run the
app. Note that the Android Emulator has additional requirements beyond the basic system requirements
for Android Studio.

Using the Device Manager, you define the hardware characteristics of a device, its API level, storage,
skin and other properties and save it as a virtual device. With virtual devices, you can test apps on
different device configurations (such as tablets and phones) with different API levels, without having to
use physical devices.

7.Create an Android virtual device (AVD)

In order to run an emulator on your computer, you have to create a configuration that describes the virtual
device.In Android Studio, select Tools > Device Manager, or click the Device Manager icon in the
toolbar. The Device Manager pane appears. If you've already created virtual devices, the pane shows
them (as shown in the figure below); otherwise you see a blank list.

1. Click the Create Device button. The Select Hardware window appears showing a list of pre
configured hardware devices. For each device, the table provides a column for its diagonal
display size (Size), screen resolution in pixels (Resolution), and pixel density (Density).

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 26 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 2. Choose a device such as Pixel 5, and click Next. The System Image screen appears.
3. Click the Recommended tab if it is not already selected, and choose which version of the
Android system to run on the virtual device (such as R).

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 27 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 here are many more versions available than shown in the Recommended tab. Look at the x86
Images and Other Images tabs to see them.

If a Download link is visible next to a system image you want to use, it is not installed yet. Click the link
to start the download, and click Finish when it's done.

4. After choosing a system image, click Next. The Android Virtual Device (AVD) window
appears. You can also change the name of the AVD. Check your configuration and click Finish.

8.Run the app on the virtual device

In this task, you will finally run your Hello World app.

1. In Android Studio, choose Run > Select Device or click the devices dropdown next to
the Run icon in the toolbar and select the virtual device which you just created.
2. Choose Run > Run app or click the Run icon in the toolbar.

Course Coordinator: Ms. A R Kothimbire 28 Approved By:HEAD BSH

 The emulator starts and boots just like a physical device. Depending on the speed of your computer, this
may take a while. Your app builds, and once the emulator is ready, Android Studio will upload the app to
the emulator and run it.

You should see the Hello World app as shown in the following figure.

Conclusion:-In Android Studio, navigate to the top menu and select Run 'app'. Android Studio
will show a dialog where you can choose which device to run your Android app on. Choose your
connected device and click the OK button. The Hello World application should now be running on your
phone.
