Our first app displays “I’m the best” on the screen. To achieve that goal we’ve used TextView tag and modified its android:text attribute. This attribute could keep a specific text (that we did in previous lesson) or reference to one of strings in a file dedicated for keeping all text.
If you want to create an app displaying on the screen “Hello world!” (a standard text for the first application), just… start a new project in Android Studio. It already includes Hello world! functionality. But what to do to display “I’m the best!” instead?
There are two ways of doing it: very simple and… recommended one (but still simple). Firstly, you have to start a new project or open the one created in Lesson 0 and then find again activity_main.xml file in layout subfolder (you could learn how to open that file from Lesson 0). Now click Text tab at the bottom of the activity_main.xml file window. You should see the code of layout of your first app.
In this lessons set we will write and display some text in Android app. And then we will make this text look as we wish. We assume that you know how to create a new app project and find activity_main.xml file. Otherwise start with Lesson 0.
