Android Programming Tutorials

A Simple Form

Outside of Eclipse

Inside your terminal (e.g., Command Prompt for Windows), switch to a

directory in which you would like the project to reside. Then, run the

following command:

android create project --target "Google Inc.:Google APIs:6" --path ./LunchList

--activity LunchList --package apt.tutorial

This will create an application skeleton for you, complete with everything

you need to start building the LunchList application.

Step #2: Modify the Layout..................................................................

Using your text editor, open the LunchList/res/layout/main.xml file.

Initially, that file will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

>

<TextView

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="Hello World, LunchList"

/>

</LinearLayout>

Change that layout to look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:orientation="vertical"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

>

<LinearLayout

android:orientation="horizontal"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

>

<TextView

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
