Introduction

1.1 What is an app?

App is an abbreviated form of the word "application". An application is a software
program that is designed to a specific function directly for the user which can be access
easily.

1.2 What is an Android?

Android is an open source operating System for mobile devices such as

smart-phones and tablet,computers. Android offers a unified approach to
application development for mobile devices which means developers need to
develop only for Android, and their applications should be able to run on different
devices powered by android.
Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance(OHA) , led by Google, and
other companies.Android is mainly based on direct manipulation ,using touch
gestures that looses correspond to real world actions. It provide us with the
manipulate
on-screen object,along with a virtual keyboard for text input.

1.3 History of Android :

Android was initially developed by Android Inc., the code names of android ranges
from A to N.
Founded by Andy Rubin in Palo Alto,California, United States in Oct 2003.
Android word is actually reffered to as robot
Android was named after the nickname of Andy Rubin by their co-workers for his
love for robot.
Google acquired android Incorporation on 17th Aug,2005.
Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance(OHA) for camera phone, led by
Google, and other companies.
But shifted to smart-phones due to low market of cameras at that time.
HTC launches the first android mobile.
In 2010,Google launched its Nexus series of devices in smart-phone world with
android OS.

 CHAPTER : 2
KNOWINNG ANDROID

We will start our Android application development on any of the following operating
systems:
Microsoft Window XP or later version.
Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later version with Intel chip
Linux including GNU Library with Intel chip.

2.1 Android App Development.

Android app is a combination of different source code in a single place whose action
can be performed just by a single touch.
Example:- Suppose if we want to add two nos then we just have to click on the calculator
app and enter two nos and the operand that we have to perform. It makes our work
much easier and this are much user friendly.
So what happen ? How it calculated the answer.
Android programming is based on java programming language so if we have basic
understanding on Java programming then it will be a fun to study Android app
development.

2.2 Java in Android App Development.

Java is a programming language that doesnt compile to native processor code but
rather it refers to virtual machine which understands an intermediate format i.e; java
byte-code. Each platform that uses java to run needs a virtual device.
An android app uses a android application that runs on android platform. It build on
custom virtual machine that gives its user the addition usage and application power and
a user friendly environment. Android actual virtual machine is called Dalvik.

2.3 Android Software Development Kit(Android SDK) :

Apps that extend the functionality of device is written using Android SDK and often
using java programming language.The SDK includes a set of development tools,
including a debugger, software libraries,a handset emulator, sample code,etc.
Initially Google supported Integrated Development Environment(IDE) i.e; Eclipse
using the Android Development Tools(ADT) plugins. Other development tools are also
available such as Native Development Kit(NDK). Android Studio that is based on Intellij
IDEA developed by Google as its primary IDE for android app development. Android
is a selection of third-party application which can be acquired by users by
downloading and installing the Android Application Package(APK) file.

2.4 What is API Level ?

API Level is an integer value that uniquely identifies the framework API revision
offered by a version of the Android platform.

2.5 Features of Android :

It is an open source user friendly software
It has beautiful user interface
It reduced cost of development
It has rich development environment
Inter application Integration
It support single and bi-directional text
It uses Dalvik virtual machine- optimized version for mobil
2.6 Android Application :
They are generally developed in the java language using the Android SDK
Android applications can be packaged easily and sold out either
through a store such as Google play,etc.
There are many android applications that we already know and uses them few
are music,news,weather,etc
Many android application are also available for free most of them are already
available in play store.
This apps are compatible with almost every platform but few are also available for the
specific platform..
 CHAPTER 3:
OVERVIEW AND STARTING
WITH
ANDROID

3.1 Overview
Android applications are freely available and can be downloaded from the Web.
Following is the list of software's you will need before you start your Android
application programming.
This all software required in the installation of Android application.This setup is
required for the configuration with RAM less or more than 4gb:
Java JDK5 or JDK6
Download the latest version of Java JDK and install the JDK and set the
environmental path for it.
Android SDK
Download Android SDK from Androids official website :
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
If you install SDK either on Mac OS or Linux, follow the instruction and setup the
environment path.
Launch Android SDK Manager using option All Program>Android SDK Tools>SDK
Manager
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Check for the version that is compatible with your device and install it.
Or, Android Development Tools (ADT) Eclipse Plugin
This step will help you in setting Android Development Tool plugin for Eclipse.
Let's start with launching Eclipse and then, choose Help > Software Updates > Install
New Software
3.2 Android Virtual Device
To test our android application we will need a virtual Android device. Before start
writing our code we create an Android Virtual Device Android operating system is a
stack of software components which is roughly divided into five sections and four
main layers :
Application
You will find all the Android application at the top layer. You will write your
application to be installed on this layer only
Application Framework
The Application Framework layer provides many higher-level services to applications in
the form of Java classes.
Libraries
There is a set of libraries including open-source Web browser engine WebKit, well known
library libc, SQLite database,etc.
And , Android Runtime :
This is the third section of the architecture and available on the second layer from the
bottom. This section provides a key component called Dalvik Virtual Machine which is
a kind of Java Virtual Machine specially designed and optimized for Android
Linux Kernel
At the bottom of the layers is Linux,This provides basic system functionality like process
management, memory management, device management like camera, keypad, display
etc.

3.3 Application Component

Application components are the essential building blocks of an Android application.
These component are loosely coupled by the application manifest file, i.e;
Android-
-Manifest.xml

Following four main component that can be used within an Android application :
1) Activities :- They dictate the UI and handle the user interaction to the smartphone
screen public class MainActivity extends Activity
{ }
2)Services :- They handle background processing associated with an application
public class MyService extends Service
{ }

3)Broadcast Receivers :- They handle communication between Android OS and applications

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver

{ }
4)Content Providers :- They handle data and database management
issues. public class MyContentProvider extends ContentProvider
{ }

3.4 Additional Component :

There are additional components which will be used in the construction of
above mentioned entities, their logic, and wiring between them.They are :
1) Fragments :- Represent a behavior or a portion of user interface in an Activity.
2) Views :- UI elements that are drawn onscreen including buttons, lists forms etc
3) Layouts :- View hierarchies that control screen format and appearance of the views
4) Intents :- Messages wiring components together.
5) Resources :- External elements, such as strings, constants and drawable pictures
6) Manifest :- Configuration file for the application
3.5 Creating our first android app : Displaying Hello World :

The first step is to create a simple Android Application using Android Studio.Follow
the option File -> New -> New Project ->Enter application name in the pop-up
window.Then select a Empty activity->next->Activity name->Finish.

(I) Empty Activity selected

 (II) Activity name, it automatically create a layout name file related to your activity

Fig. 3.1 Creating Activity

Java coding for hello world : MainActivity.java

(I) MainActivity.java file
 (II) Coding and design view of xml file
Fig. 3.2 File extension for MainActivity is activity_main.xml
Result on the Android Virtual Device is :

Fig. 3.3 Android Virtual Device Showing result

 CHAPTER 4:
SOME IMPORTANT CONCEPT IN ANDROID

Before going to project that I made we need to know some basic concept of Android
for better understanding.
Since every project that we do in android studio must contain this files:-
.java file
.xml file
AndroidMenifest file

4.1 .javaFile :
This file include all the codes and logic written in it.
We can open it in the android project -> app -> java ->
com.example.username.filename -> MainActivity.java
When we run our program methods that are called :
- onCreate(Bundle) :- It is used to initialize our activity.
-setContentView(int) :- It is a layout resource defining our User
Interface.
-findViewById(int) :- It is used to retrieve widgets in the that UI that
we need to interact.
-onPause() :- Where we deal with the user leaving activity.

4.2 .xmlFile :
It is used to define the actual User Interface of our application.
We can open the .xml from app -> res ->layout -> ActivityName.xml
We can find all the elements or the tools that we want to use in our project.
It has two different layout i.e; a coding layout where we can code for our required
elements needed like buttons, text views,etc.
Or, we can directly drag and drop the required elements in the given design layout.
The Android framework gives us the flexibility to use either or both
of these methods for declaring and managing our apps UI.

4.3 Manifest File :

Every application must have an AndroidManifest.xml file in its root directory.
It provides an essential information about app to the android system.
It provides us the information about the permission that we hav
given the app to access our device.
No. of activities we have use in our app

4.4 ANDROID UI WIDGETS :

A widget is a simple application extension that is often part of a
larger application that are already inbuilt.
It comes in all shapes and sizes, and are customizable and are
available for quick access.

4.5 Some of1UI Widget are:

Button : Android Button represents a push-button. The
android.widget. Button is subclass of TextView class and Compound-Button is the
subclass of Button class. Types of button are : RadioButton , ToggleButton,
ImageButton, etc.

Spinner : Android Spinner is like the drop-down box of AWT or Swing.

It can be used to display the multiple options to the user in which only one item can
be selected.
Android Spinner class is the subclass of AsbSpinner class.

ToggleButton : Android ToggleButton and Switch both are the subclasses of

CompoundButton class.
Android Toggle Button can be used to display checked/unchecked state on
the button.
It is beneficial if user have to change the setting between two
states. Exp : Bluetooth on/off, music sound on/off, etc.

CheckBox : Android CheckBox class is also the subclass of CompoundButton

class.
Android CheckBox can be either checked or unchecked.
We can use more no. of CheckBox.

Many Android application uses our device component such as camera,

Bluetooth,etc. For that all we have to give special permission in the manifest file.

4.6 Camera :
We can directly integrate the camera into your application via the Camera API.
Using the camera on the Android device can be done via integration of the
existing Camera application. In this case you would start the existing Camera
application via an Intent and to get the data after the user returns to our
application.
4.7 Permission given:
In the manifest file we give the following permission to the application to access
the hardware component i.e; camera :
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.Camera"/
>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
After giving permission to the app we also have to give the special permission to
the app through our device to the location ,
Setting -> apps -> open app -> permission -> camera allow -> close setting
4.8 EXAMPLE

4.8.1- SEEK BAR

It consist of seekbar that control volume and a button that give instruction about
the project.
4.8.2 AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDING
4.9 Methods and function :
As many of the topic has been mention in my project frequently. So to know
more about the topic it has been declared within below :
onClickListener :- onClickListener is used to assign a button what to do
on clicking using button.setOnClickListener(new onClickListener) in the
activities onCreate - method.
Intents :- Intents are objects of the android.content.Intent type.It can
be started using startActivity( ) method. It is used to move one activity
to another .It contain the data via a Bundle.
Seekbar :- A seekbar is an extension of a progressbar that adds a draggable
thumb.The user can drag the thumb left or right to set the current
progress level or use the arrow key.
Clients of the SeekBar can attach a SeekBar.OnSeekBarChangeListener
to be notified of the users actions.
Toast :- A Toast can be used to display information for the short period of
time. A Toast contains message to be displayed quickly and disappear
after sometime.The android.widget.Toast class is the subclass of
java.lang.Object class.
Syntax :- Toast.makeText(Context context,CharSequence text,int
duration).show( );
 CONCLUSION

After completing this project, I concluded that this project was the
good opportunity to implement my information that I have learnt
during my internship program.This project is more informative and
more helpful for understanding the concept of the android app
development.This project is only a small and easy one but it is enough
to implement my concept. I can further try much harder to make
much more efficient and useful app that can benefit to other.
