Fall 2022 - Android Studio basics & Navigation

Today we covered the basics of Android Studio development in Kotlin and XML. Kotlin programming is used for the code behind the views and XML is used for setting up the design of a page.


Things discussed:

  1. Recap of teams (View, View Model, Matter)

  2. Purpose of our Smart Home App with demo of Matter in action

  3. Activities vs. Fragments

  4. Design layout (graphical and XML): constraint layout, TextView, Button, element attributes

  5. Accessing elements on a page (e.g. button interactions)

  6. Page navigation between activities

  7. Activity lifecycle (onCreate, onResume, onPause, onDestroy)

  8. Basic counter on single page activity




Matter demo (more explained in video above):
