#Make simple android app android#
So in Android if we want to access hardware features like the camera, we need to ask for permission. We will switch this file to ‘Text’ right here and here is where we will code the UI of our application, okay? We will click on ‘OK’ and now the IDE has generated this new file for us. But on ‘Root element’ we will change the card 1 with LinearLayout. To do that we will right click on ‘Layout’ folder go to ‘New’ ‘Layout resource file’.Īnd here we will type name as ‘activity_main’. We will actually create that file again, but with a different structure. If we have these options checked we will uncheck them and then click in ‘OK.’ To do that we right click on this file and click on ‘Delete.’ To do that we will open the ‘res’ folder here on the left side then we will go and open the ‘Layout’ folder and we will delete the ‘activity_main.xml.’ So now that the project is loaded, what we will do is we will change the default layout file with new one.
There’s also camera 2, but it’s way more complicated so we won’t dive a lot in that.
So basically we will be using the API 1 of camera as the first camera course, because it is easier, is less complex and gives you an overall idea on how a camera works on Android.
