- 12. HELLO PROGRAM
- 13. ACTIVITY?? An activity is a single, focused thing that the user can do. Almost all activities interact with the user, so the Activity class takes care of creating a window for you in which you can place your UI with setContentView(View).
- 15. WHAT IS VIEW?? This class represents the basic building block for user interface components. A View occupies a rectangular area on the screen and is responsible for drawing and event handling. View is the base class for widgets , which are used to create interactive UI components (buttons, text fields, etc.).
- 16. XML FOR GUI DESIGN Why XML? Java code or XML. Controlling portrait or landscape. Language control.
- 17. ANDROID MANIFEST FILE What ?? Why ?? How to use .
- 18. UNDERSTANDING LAYOUTS Linear Layout. Relative Layout. Frame Layout. Table Layout. Absolute Layout.
- 19. LINEAR LAYOUT A Layout that arranges its children in a single column or a single row. The direction of the row can be set by calling setOrientation(). You can also specify gravity, by calling setGravity() or specify weight member of LinearLayout.LayoutParams. The default orientation is horizontal.
- 20. RELATIVE LAYOUT A Layout where the positions of the children can be described in relation to each other or to the parent. Note:that you cannot have a circular dependency between the size of the RelativeLayout and the position of its children. Relative Layout Example
- 21. FRAME LAYOUT FrameLayout is designed to block out an area on the screen to display a single item. You can add multiple children to a FrameLayout and control their position within the FrameLayout using gravity. Children are drawn in a stack, with the most recently added child on top. The size of the frame layout is the size of its largest child (plus padding), visible or not (if the FrameLayout's parent permits). Views that are GONE are used for sizing only if setConsiderGoneChildrenWhenMeasuring() is set to true. Frame Layout Xml Frame Layout java
- 22. TABLE LAYOUT A layout that arranges its children into rows and columns. A TableLayout consists of a number of TableRow objects, each defining a row (actually, you can have other children, which will be explained below). TableLayout containers do not display border lines for their rows, columns, or cells. Each row has zero or more cells; each cell can hold one View object. The table has as many columns as the row with the most cells. A table can leave cells empty. Cells can span columns, as they can in HTML. Table Layout Example
- 23. ABSOULUTE LAYOUT This class is deprecated. Use FrameLayout, RelativeLayout or a custom layout instead.
- 24. CODING FOR SOME SIMPLE WIDGETS Text View Button Edit Text Checkbox Radio Button Spinner List view Progress Bar
- 25. EXPLORING FEATURE OF VIEW HOW TO USE
- 27. BUNDLE A mapping from String values to various Parcelable types. How and where it is used Bundle Demo & Example of Moving from one activity to another activity.
- 28. CURSOR This interface provides random read-write access to the result set returned by a database query. Cursor implementations are not required to be synchronized so code using a Cursor from multiple threads should perform its own synchronization when using the Cursor.
