Explaining Files Created In Empty Activity




  1. Activity_main2.xml – This is the file where you can create UI elements. For now this file only contains root tag and namespaces.
  2. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    	xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    	xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    	xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".Main2Activity">
    </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>


  3. Main2activity.java – In this file you can write the validations, business logic and database layer.
  4. package com.example.insuranceapplication;
    
    import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
    
    import android.os.Bundle;
    
    public class Main2Activity extends AppCompatActivity {
    
      @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main2);
      }
    }




  1. The class is inherited from AppCompatActivity class. This is the base class of all activities.
  2. onCreate method is overridden.
  3. setContentView specifies the associated XML file.
