Android Studio Tutorial - Creating Simple Android App (Hello World) - 2/6

Android Studio Tutorial – New Project

 

Let’s create a new project using the wizard shown in the Quick Start section of the welcome screen. Enter some name for the application, let’s say “Hello World” and make sure your package name is unique.

If you own some domain say yourdomain.com, then your package could be com.somedomain.helloworld. While uniqueness isn’t of concern here, it will be important for an application that needs to be published to play store. Google Play Store distinguishes apps by the package name only.

 Click “Next” button again and you’ll be presented with a list of platforms where you want your application to run along with separate SDKs list since different platforms require different SDKs list.

On the next screen you’ll be presented with a list of activity types. The default Blank Activity is good enough for this project.

 Click Next. This screen is an Activity configuration screen. Since you asked ADT to create an activity for you, this screen helps you in configuring relevant options.

  • Activity Name: Let’s stay with the default name MainActivity.

  • Layout Name: ADT that creates activity for you, will also create a layout for you to bind it with the activity.

  • Title: It specifies the title of the activity.

  • Menu name: This is used to provide menu options. Keep default name only.

 

Click finish and wait for a few seconds for Gradle to do its magic.

Gradle is an advanced build toolkit that manages dependencies and allows you to define custom build logic. Android Studio uses a Gradle wrapper to fully integrate the Android plugin for Gradle.

The Android plugin for Gradle also runs independent of Android Studio. This means that you can build your Android apps from within Android Studio or from the command line on your machine or on machines where Android Studio is not installed.

 Once you click Finish ADT will create your new project and will open Java code and Layout code for you.

By now you might be wondering how do you change your default white theme to the dark theme shown in the snippets. Go to menu Android Studio > Preferences, choose IDE Settings > Appearance.  Change the ‘Theme’ from ‘Default’ to ‘Dracula’.
