Android How to Program, 3/e

6.4 Building the GUI and Resource Files

In this section, you’ll create the app’s resource files, GUI layout files and classes.

6.4.1 Creating the Project

For this app, you’ll add a Fragment and its layout manually—much of the autogenerated code in the Blank Activity template with a Fragment is not needed in the Cannon Game. Create a new project using the Empty Activity template. In the Create New Project dialog’s New Project step, specify

• Application name: Cannon Game

• Company Domain: deitel.com (or specify your own domain name)

In the layout editor, select Nexus 6 from the virtual-device drop-down list (Fig. 2.11). Once again, we’ll use this device as the basis for our design. Also, delete the Hello world! TextView from activity_main.xml
