System Requirements to install Android Studio
➢ The following are the system requirements for Android Studio on Windows.
o 64-bit Microsoft® Windows® 8/10/11
o x86_64 CPU architecture; 2nd generation Intel Core or newer, or AMD CPU with
support for a Windows Hypervisor
o 8 GB RAM or more
o 8 GB of available disk space minimum (IDE + Android SDK + Android Emulator)
o 1280 x 800 minimum screen resolution
Installation of Android Studio
Project Structure in Android Application:
Android Project Folder Structure
➢ JetBrains community developed Android Studio, the official IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for
Android app development and is freely distributed by Google.
➢ After the complete Android Architecture setup, we can construct an Android application in the studio. For
each sample application, we should establish a new project and learn the folder structure.
➢ After setting up an Android development environment in Android Studio, we can create an example
application, and our project folder structure will look like this.
➢ The structure of the Android project on disk can differ from the above picture. Select Project from the
Project selection instead of Android to see the Project's actual file structure.
➢ Many app modules, source code files, and resource files are included in the Android project. We'll go
through all of the Android app's directories and files.
➢ Manifests Folder
➢ Java Folder
➢ res (Resources) Folder
➢ Drawable Folder
➢ Layout Folder
➢ Mipmap Folder
➢ Values Folder
➢ Gradle Scripts
Manifests Folder
➢ This folder includes the AndroidManifest.xml, which we will use to create the Android application. This file
holds information about our programs, such as the Android versions, metadata, the states packages for
the java code, and other app components. It functions as a bridge between the Android operating system
and our application.
Let's see the manifests folder structure of the Android application shown below.
AndroidManifest.xml
XML code:
<? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
< manifest xmlns:android = "http:// schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
Package = "com.geeksforgeeks.myapplication" >
< application
android:allowBackup = "true"
android:icon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label = "@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon = "@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl = "true"
android:theme = "@style/AppTheme">
< activity android:name = ".MainActivity" >
< intent-filter >
< action android:name = "android.intent.action.MAIN" />
< category android:name = "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</ intent-filter >
</ activity >
</ application >
</ manifest >
Java folder
➢ The Java folder holds all of the java and Kotlin source code (.java) files created during app development, as
well as additional Test files. When we begin a fresh Java project, the class file MainActivity.java is
automatically produced under the package name "com.example.myapplication1" as seen here.
Java Code
package com.example.myapplication1;
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate ( Bundle savedInstanceState )
{
super.onCreate ( savedInstanceState ) ;
setContentView ( R.layout.activity_main) ;
}
}
Kotlin Code
package com.example.myapplication1
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity import android.os.Bundle
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity ( ) {
override fun onCreate ( savedInstanceState : Bundle ? )
{
super.onCreate ( savedInstanceState )
setContentView ( R.layout.activity_main )
}
}
Folder res/mipmap
➢ This section includes launcher.xml files that specify the icons on the home screen. It has several icon
densities based on the device size, such as hdpi, mdpi, and xhdpi.
Folder res/values
➢ The Values folder contains various XML files such as strings, dimensions, colors, and style definitions. The
strings.xml file, which includes the resources, is one of the most crucial.
XML Code
< resources >
< string name = "app_name"> NameOfTheApplication </string>
< string name = "checked" > Checked </ string >
< string name = "unchecked" > Unchecked </ string >
</ resources >
Gradle Scripts directory
➢ Gradle is an automated build system that includes several files that create a build configuration.
Buildscripts are used in the build.gradle (Project), and plugins and implementations are used in the
build.gradle (Module) to make settings that may be used by all of our application modules.

Practical 7: Create an android application to display different webpages in fragments
by using Fragments Component
Practical 8: Create an android application to store the data by using Shared
Preferences
Shared Preferences:
➢ One of the way to store data in in android
➢ It saves and retrieves data in the form of key & value pair
Practical 18: Create an android application to display different Dialog Boxes.
Alert Dialogbox:
➢ They are used to help users answer questions, make selections,confirm actions,
and read warning or error messages
➢ It is a window that partially obscures the activity that launched it.
