Suggested List of Experiments:
1. Install Android Studio with Specific Latest SDK in your System.
2. Develop an android app which displays “Hello World” message.
3. Develop an android app which displays a form to get following information
from user. 1) Username 2) Password 3) Email Address 4) Phone Number 5)
Country
Form should be followed by a Button with label “Submit”. When user clicks the
button, a message should be displayed to user describing the information
entered.
Utilize suitable UI controls (i.e. widgets). [When user enters country in Auto
Complete TextView, list of states should be displayed in Spinner automatically.
4. Create sample application that demonstrates activity life cycle’s all methods.
5. Using Android, Create a login Activity. It asks “username” and “password” from
user. If username and password are valid, it displays Welcome message using
new activity
6. “Happy Birth Day” App using TextView and ImageView
7. Create “Hello Toast” App by implementing a click handler method for the
button to display a message on the screen when the user clicks. Use Linear
Layout for creating view.
8. Create the MP3 player like application with service
9. The Simple Calculator app has two edit texts and four buttons. When you enter
two numbers and click a button, the app performs the calculation for that
button and displays the result.
10. Devolpe one App. Which Contains Specific User Interface and design Interface.

Instructional Method:
a. The course delivery method will depend upon the requirement of content and
need of students. The teacher in addition to conventional teaching method by
black board, may also use any of tools such as demonstration, role play, Quiz,
brainstorming, MOOCs etc.
b. The internal evaluation will be done on the basis of continuous evaluation of
students in the laboratory and class-room.
c. Practical examination will be conducted at the end of semester for evaluation
of performance of students in laboratory.
