I decided to have login screen as my home page with logo on top of the screen.Login button and signup at bottom of page.Second page would be QR code scanning page.Finally last screen will be deciding page. I referred to many pages and came up with a logo with cyan background and Auto Park written on it.
Explored different activity methods :
As a user I navigate to and fro between different activity screens through different states in states in life cycle creating, stopping, or resuming an activity, or destroying the process of the activity.
Life cycle starts with OnCreate method.
In OnCreate method we first set view i.e., layout. and create private objects for buttons, Image Buttons, TextView, ImageView. and use findViewById() and pass R.id."respective id of component in the layout".
In this stage I am learning about activity and layout components and different functions used in android life cycle.
In the following weeks,will implement functionalities in three coding implementation phases.
I picked this image from google images and added to welcome activity.
<activity android:name=".WelcomeActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity>
Above code snippet in android manifest file makes WelcomeActivity.class as launcher activity. Layout activity_welcome.xml is displayed as launch screen on emulator.
Later, I decided to create my own icon in Android resource folder created following icon with foreground and background. I visited many websites which provide themes and icons. I later finalized Android Asset Studio Launcher icon generator.
