EXPERIMENT NO: 05
Aim: Implement an android application which will display HELLO WORLD and
deploy it on real device.
Theory:
Android Development Environment:
Java or Kotlin: Android apps are primarily developed using Java or Kotlin programming
languages.
Android Studio: Android Studio is the official integrated development environment (IDE) for
Android app development. It provides tools for coding, debugging, and testing Android
applications.
Android SDK: The Android Software Development Kit (SDK) provides libraries, tools, and
APIs necessary for Android app development.
Components of an Android Application:
Activities: An Activity represents a single screen with a user interface. It's the entry point for
interacting with the user.
Layouts: Layouts are XML files that define the structure and appearance of the user interface
components within an Activity.
Views: Views are the UI components such as buttons, text fields, and images that are used to
interact with the user.
Manifest File: The AndroidManifest.xml file describes essential information about the app to
the Android system, including the app's name, icon, permissions, and the components it
contains.
Creating an Android Application:
Project Setup: Start by creating a new Android project in Android Studio. Define the project
name, package name, and select the minimum SDK version.
Activity and Layout Creation: Create an activity class (e.g., MainActivity.java) and its
corresponding layout file (e.g., activity_main.xml) where you define the user interface.
UI Design: Design the UI by adding Views (e.g., Text View, Button) to the layout file using
XML.
Coding Logic: Write the Java or Kotlin code in the Activity class to handle user interactions
and implement the application's logic.
Deploying an Android Application:
Setting Up a Device: Connect a real Android device to your computer via USB and enable
USB debugging mode on the device.
Configuring Android Studio: Ensure that Android Studio recognizes your device by checking
the device list in the Android Device Monitor.
Build and Run: Click on the "Run" button in Android Studio to build the application and
deploy it to the connected device.
Installation: The APK (Android Package) file is installed on the device, and the application is
launched for testing.

Debugging and Testing:
Logcat: Android Studio's Logcat window displays logs generated by the Android system and
your application, which helps in debugging.
Emulator: Android Studio provides an emulator to test applications on virtual devices with
different screen sizes and Android versions.
Real Device Testing: Testing on a real device is essential to ensure that the application
behaves as expected in a real-world environment.

Output:
Conclusion: The experiment involved creating a basic Android
application that displays "HELLO WORLD" and deploying it on a
real device. This process familiarizes developers with Android
Studio, layout design, coding logic, and device testing, serving as
a foundational exercise in Android app development.
