What is Activity？
The application's user interface. A container for all controls.
An activity is a single, focused thing that the user can do. Almost all activities interact with the user, so the Activity class takes care of creating a window for you in which you can place your UI withsetContentView(View). While activities are often presented to the user as full-screen windows, they can also be used in other ways: as floating windows (via a theme with windowIsFloating set) or embedded inside of another activity (using ActivityGroup).
To create an Activity class ,do the following step:
Step 1:Create a class,and inherits from Activity. Step 2: Override some inherited methods like onCreate() and onPause(). Step 3:Register each Activity class in the AndroidMainFest.xml. Step 4:Make a layout.xml file,general each Activity class require one layout.xml. Step 5:Add necessary controls into the layout.xml.
The below is an example:
ActivityTest.class:
public class ActivityTest extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
TextView textView1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
textView1.setText("Hello world!!!");
}
}
AndroidManifest.xml:
mail.xml
Using Control in the ActivityTest:
setContentView(R.layout.main);
TextView textView1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
textView1.setText("Hello world!!!");
