Android Studio 4.1 Development Essentials – Java Edition

By: Neil Smyth

Overview of this book

For developers, Android 11 has a ton of new capabilities. The goal of this book is to teach the skills necessary to develop Android-based applications using the Java programming language. This book begins with the steps necessary to set up an Android development and testing environment. An overview of Android Studio along with the architecture of Android is covered next, followed by an in-depth look at the design of Android applications and user interfaces using the Android Studio environment. You will also learn about the Android architecture components along with some advanced topics such as touch screen handling, gesture recognition, the recording and playback of audio, app links, dynamic delivery, the AndroidStudio profiler, Gradle build configuration, and submitting apps to the Google Play Developer Console. The concepts of material design, including the use of floating action buttons, Snackbars, tabbed interfaces, card views, navigation drawers, and collapsing toolbars are a highlight of this book. This edition of the book also covers printing, transitions, and cloud-based file storage; the foldable device support is the cherry on the cake. By the end of this course, you will be able to develop Android 11 Apps using Android Studio 4.1, Java, and Android Jetpack.

31.4 Adding the Second Fragment

Repeating the steps used to create the toolbar fragment, add another empty fragment named TextFragment with a layout file named fragment_text. Once again, convert the FrameLayout container to a ConstraintLayout (changing the id to constraintLayout2) and remove the default TextView.

Drag a drop a TextView widget from the palette and position it in the center of the layout, using the Infer constraints button to add any missing constraints. Change the id of the view to textView1, the text to read “Fragment Two” and modify the textAppearance attribute to Large.

On completion, the layout should match that shown in Figure 31-4:
