Android Apps Development for Mobile Game Lesson 2

4T026-1-A @ Peter Lo 2015

Workshop

1. Compare different layout by using Change Layout button ( – 5)

� Relative Layout

� Linear Layout (Horizontal)

� Linear Layout (Vertical)

� Frame Layout

2. Use the basic component on TextView, Button, Toast, Checkbox and Radio Button. Then

identify the different InputType on EditText (Page 6 – 12)

� text

� number

� phone

� textMultiLine

� textCapCharacters

� textPassword

� textAutoCorrect

3. Create a simple web browser with permission to Internet access. (Page 13 – 16)

4. Exercise: Now it’s time for you to create the first game: “Guess Number”. The app should pick

a secret number (0 – 9) and let the user guess what number it is. User is only allowed to input

number in the text field. If the guess number is too large or too smaller, the program should

provide a hint. If the guess number is correct, the program should congratulate the user. (Hint:

using randomize to generate the random number)
