Java Source Code


The Java code is what drives everything. It is converted to Dalvik executable and runs your application. This application includes two screens/activities/classes: Notice that the class is based on the Activity class. An Activity is a single application entity that is used to perform actions. The onCreate method is called by the Android system when your Activity starts—it is where you should perform all initialization and UI setup. An activity is not required to have a user interface, but usually does.
