Lab 6

Description:

Lab 6 consists of some instructions that we had to follow in order to download and install the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) so that we can start developing Android apps. To begin developing Android apps, we had to complete a set of tutorials which taught us the basics of Android app development. The basics consisted of creating an Android app project, running your application, building a simple user interface and starting another activity; all in that order. Overall, our app will display an interface which allows the user to type a message of choice. With an addition of a send button, the user will then click on the button and send the message to himself/herself which will then pop up and display on another interface. All of this is done either with a real or virtual Android device. An emulator is what is actually used for this to be done virtually but the Android virtual device must be created in order to configure the Emulator; all done on Eclipse.
