PO 2. Discipline knowledge
PO 3. Experiments and practice
PO 4. Engineering tools
PO 7. Ethics
PO 10. Life-long learning

III. Competency and Practical Skills

“Create simple Android applications.”
This practical is expected to develop the following skills
1. Able to develop UI controls like Text View and Edit Text.
2. Able to test UI controls like Text View and Edit Text by checking its placing on the
display screen.
3. Able to build UI controls like Text View and Edit Text, once testing is done and there
are no errors.

IV. Relevant Course Outcome(s)

1. Develop rich user Interfaces by using layouts and controls. 2. Use User Interface
components for android application development.

V. Practical Outcome (PrOs)

Develop a program to implement Text View and Edit Text.

VI. Relevant Affective Domain Related Outcome(s) 1. Work

collaboratively in team
2. Follow ethical Practices.

VII. Minimum Theoretical Background

1. Text View:
In Android, Text View displays text to the user and optionally allows them to edit it
programmatically. Text View is a complete text editor, however basic class is configured to
not allow editing but we can edit it. View is the parent class of Text View Being a subclass of
view the text view component can be used in your app’s.
GUI inside a View Group, or as the content view of an activity. We can create a Text View
instance by declaring it inside a layout (XML file) or by instantiating it programmatically(Java
Class).

2. Edit Text:
In Android, Edit Text is a standard entry widget in android apps. It is an overlay over Text
View that configures itself to be editable. Edit Text is a subclass of Text View with text
editing operations. Often use Edit Text in our applications in order to provide an input or
text field, especially in forms. The simplest example of Edit Text is Login or Sign-in form.
Text Fields in Android Studio are basically Edit Text.
Note: An Edit Text is simply a thin extension of a Text View. An Edit Text inherits all the
properties of a Text View.
