    This document discusses how to create, compile, and run a basic Java program on an Android phone. It explains that Java programs must define a class, with the class name matching the filename. The main method is the program entry point and is declared as public, static, and void. It also covers saving and compiling the Java file, then running the compiled class file. Comments are described as a way to annotate code for readability.

    Java Environment

    Part II
    Lesson 4
    NEIL A. MUTIA, MIT
    Creating and Running a Java Program in
    Android Phone
     There’s a lot of free application available in the Google
    Play Store that allows aspiring programmers to create,
    compile, and execute a Java Program.
    Using the AIDE
    Java Program Basic Structure
     Here are the most important points to note about the
    Java programs:
     You have to keep in mind that, Java code is case
    sensitive.
     To write a Java program, you must have to define class
    first.
     The name of the class in Java (which holds the main
    method) is the name of the Java program, and the same
    name will be given in the filename.
    Java Program Basic Structure
    This must be the exact
    filename when saving the
    program, Hello.java

    This is the
    This is a print statement, use
    main
    to print the value inside this
    method
    symbols (“ ”)
    Java Program Basic Structure
    public class Hello  This creates a class called Hello.
     All class names must not contain spaces
     The public word means that it is accessible from any other classes.
    /* Comments */ The compiler ignores comment block. Comment can be used anywhere in the
    Or program to add info about the program or code block, which will be helpful for
    // Comment developers to understand the existing code in the future easily.
    Braces Two curly brackets {...} are used to group all the commands, so it is known that the
    commands belong to that class or method.
    public static void main  When the main method is declared public, it means that it can also be used by
    code outside of its class, due to which the main method is declared public.
     The word static used when we want to access a method without creating its
    object, as we call the main method, before creating any class objects.
     The word void indicates that a method does not return a value. main() is declared
    as void because it does not return a value.
     main is a method; this is a starting point of a Java program.
     You will notice that the main method code has been moved to some spaces left.
    It is called indentation which used to make a program easier to read and
    understand.
    Java Program Basic Structure
    String[] args It is an array where each element of it is a string, which has been named as "args". If
    your Java program is run through the console, you can pass the input parameter, and
    main() method takes it as input.
    System.out.println(); This statement is used to print text on the screen as output, where the system is a
    predefined class, and out is an object of the PrintWriter class defined in the system.
    The method println prints the text on the screen with a new line. You can also
    use print() method instead of println() method. All Java statement ends with a
    semicolon.
    Saving a Java Program

    1. Click the word File on the Menu


    Saving a Java Program
    2. Click the word Save As..
    Saving a Java Program
    3. Look for a directory on your computer where you want to save your program.
    Make sure that the name of the class must match with the Filename you provide.
    Don’t forget to put .java as file extension of your program.
    Example: Hello.java
    Compiling a Java Program
    After saving the program, do not forget the directory where you save your program.
    In my case, I save it on WINDRIVER E:\Folder A

    To execute my program, I need to open CMD.


    Compiling a Java Program
    In put the necessary command to get in to the directory where you saved your java
    Program. Since it is on the WINDRIVER E:\Folder A then I need to input these
    Commands on the CMD.
    Compiling a Java Program
    At this point, I am already here on the directory. Now, I will input the compiling
    command for java. The command will be the javac followed by a single space and
    the exact name of the program. For example: javac Hello.java.
    Compiling a Java Program
    If no errors found, then this how your CMD looks like. From here, you should input the
    command for execution following this pattern, java followed by a single space and the
    name of the program without the file extension. For example: java Hello

    This is the output


    of the program
    Example of Comment in a program
    INLINE COMMENT

    BLOCK COMMENT
