This is an Android Basics Nanodegree Program Practice Set. Lesson 4. Making an App interactive. I read many comments how confusing to set up a new project before even start the practice part. I got it. A few updates came out since and the first step for beginners can be hard. So, here is my "create a new project" first step.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="android.example.practiceset2.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/display_text_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=""
android:textSize="45sp" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/display_text_view_2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=""
android:textSize="45sp" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/display_text_view_3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=""
android:textSize="45sp" />
</LinearLayout>
package android.example.practiceset2;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// PASTE CODE YOU WANT TO TEST HERE
int raspberryPrice = 5;
display1("1 box: $" + raspberryPrice);
raspberryPrice = 10;
display2("2 boxes: $" + (raspberryPrice));
display3("3 boxes: $" + (raspberryPrice * 3));
}
/**

TextView t = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.display_text_view);
t.setText(text);
}
public void display(int text) {

A little note for everyone who is coming from the discussion:
Please, keep an eye:

  • on package name(first line),
  • the imports name,
  • TextView id's field in the XML file.
