9. ANDROID LEXICON ACTIVITY ▸ It’s an entry point for interacting with the user ▸ Crucial part for an Android application ▸ Any app have at least 1 activity
10. import android.app.Activity import android.os.Bundle class MainActivity : Activity() { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) } override fun onStart() { super.onStart() } override fun onResume() { super.onResume() } override fun onPause() { super.onPause() } override fun onStop() { super.onStop() } override fun onDestroy() { super.onDestroy() } } 10

18. ANDROID LEXICON ANDROID WORLD ▸ Activity ▸ Fragment ▸ Manifest ▸ View?
19. ANDROID LEXICON THE VIEW : THEN ▸ Layout XML ▸ Resources XML ▸ Binding the views from Java/Kotlin code
21. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button" app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent" app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent" app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" /> </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout> 21
23. ANDROID LEXICON THE VIEW : NOW ▸ Jetpack compose ▸ Only Kotlin for the whole project 23
24. @Composable fun centeredButton() { Box( modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().fillMaxHeight(), contentAlignment = Alignment.Center, ) { Button(onClick = {}) { Text("Button") } } } 24
26. const CustomButton = ({ onPress }) => { return ( <button type="button" onClick={onPress}> Click on me </button> ); }; @Composable fun CustomButton() { Button(onClick = {}) { Text(text = "Click on me") } } 26
