MASTERING ON ANDROID STUDIO

  Next Steps: What Do You Want to Do? 1️⃣ Modify UI (Design your app’s look). 2️⃣ Write Code (Add functionality like buttons). 3️⃣ Run the App (Test on an emulator or phone). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great! Let’s modify the UI (User Interface) of your app. 🎨📱 Step 1: Open the Layout File In the Left Panel , go to: nginx Copy Edit app → res → layout → activity_main.xml Click on activity_main.xml . Step 2: Choose Design Mode At the top-right of the middle panel, select: ✅ "Design" (for drag-and-drop editing) ✅ "Split" (to see code + preview together) Step 3: Create a 3-Part Layout (Left, Middle, Right) We will use a LinearLayout with horizontal orientation to divide the screen into three sections . XML Code for a Simple 3-Part Layout Replace the existing ConstraintLayout with this: xml Copy Edit < LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ...

  Great! You’re now in the Android Studio code editor , and it’s divided into three sections: Understanding the Layout: 🟢 Left Panel (Project Structure) Shows your project files like MainActivity.kt , res/layout , etc. You’ll find your XML files for UI design and Kotlin files for logic. 🟢 Middle Panel (Code Editor) Displays the currently open file (like MainActivity.kt or activity_main.xml ). You’ll write or modify your app’s code here. 🟢 Right Panel (Preview/Assistant - Optional) If you’re in activity_main.xml , this may show a visual preview of your UI. If you’re in Kotlin code, it may show tips or suggestions.
