This step depends on the template selected in the previous step. For the Blank Activity template, this step allows you to specify:
• Activity Name—MainActivity
is the default name provided by the IDE. This is the name of a subclass of Activity
that controls the app’s execution. Starting in Chapter 3, we’ll modify this class to implement an app’s functionality.
• Layout Name—activity_main.xml
is the default file name provided by the IDE. This file stores an XML representation of the app’s GUI. In this chapter, you’ll build the GUI (Section 2.5) using visual techniques.
• Navigation Type—None
is the default specified by the IDE. The Welcome app does not provide any functionality. In an app that supports user interactions, you can select an appropriate Navigation Type to enable the user to browse through your app’s content. We’ll discuss navigation options in more detail in later apps.
