Hello World with Android

       Yeah, we have successfully set up the android environment. So what’s next? 
I think we can follow the same formalities even though it’s useless. 
Okay we can tell Hello to this World through android now.

 
  -        Open your eclipse and create a new Android project
  -        Give your own project name, application name, package name and activity name
  -        Choose the android platform and SDK version (preferably the latest versions)
  -        Once you are done click finish
  -        Now the android project would be created with auto generated class
 
Find the generated activity class. It should be like this by extending android.app.Activity
 
package com.example.helloandroid;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}
 
From Reference, 

    -   Activity is a single application entity that is used to perform actions.
    -   Application may have many separate activities
   -   But the user interacts with them one at a time 
    -   The onCreate() method will be called by the Android system when your Activity starts
    -   In onCreate() we can perform all initialization and UI setup.
 
Since the title is about Hello World, Im changing the onCreate() method as below
 
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       TextView tv = new TextView(this);
       tv.setText("Hello, World");
       setContentView(tv);
   }
 
               That’s it. Now run the project by Run as “Android Application” and wait to see your 
Hello World. By the way we have accomplished our mission.
