What is Android App Development | How To Use Android Studio

Today We Will Discuss About Android App Development & Android Studio

We have many other tools for android applications development but I choose Android Studio because of its unique and friendly User Interface, which makes it easy for all developers to use it. Android studio comes with Android Emulator, where we can run and debug our under developing applications. Android Studio is a tool for using Android Application Development. Android Studio is official IDE for Android application development, based on IntelliJ IDEA. Android Studio have good features for all android app developers. And have very friendly UI (user interface). Android Studio uses JAVA programming language for backhand coding and use XML for user Interface, and also have drag and drop for UI, which will be easy for developers and especially for beginners.

Some of the best features of android studio.

1. Flexible Gradle-based build system, 2. Build variants and multiple apk file generation,

3. Fast and feature-rich emulator. 4. Rich layout editor with support for drag and drop theme editing.

4. Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform, making it easy to integrate Google Cloud Messaging and App Engine

All the build files are visible at the top level under Gradle Scripts and each app module contains the following folders:

Manifests: Contains the AndroidManifest.xml file.

Java: Contains the Java source code files, including JUnit test code.

Res: Contains all non-code resources, such as XML layouts, UI strings, and bitmap images.

Android Emulator is where we can run our app and test your apps without using any physical device.

Its frequently updated needed to use the Android Emulator Graphic User Interface (GUI) in Android Studio. This enables Android app developers to debug and test their apps in a run-time environment

The AndroidManifest.xml file is the control file that tells the system what to do with all the top-level components (specifically activities, services, intent receivers) you've created. A developer should predefine and list all components, which he wants to use in the specific AndroidManifest.xml file. It is a required files for all the apps and is located in the root folder. It is possible to specify all global values for the package, all the components and its class’s used, intent filters, which describe where and when the certain activity should start, permissions and instrumentation like security control and testing.

User Interface have Navigation bar which helps you to open your project and for editing it.

The toolbar lets you carry out a wide range of actions, including running your app and launching Android tools.

The editor window is where you create and modify the code. Depending on the current file type, the editor can change.

For example, when viewing a layout file, the editor displays the Layout Editor.

The tool window bar runs around the outside of the IDE window and contains the buttons that allow you to expand or collapse individual tool windows.

The tool windows gives access to tasks like project management, search, version, and more.

The status bar displays the status of your project and the IDE itself, and any warnings or messages.
