Brain Tester Application in Android Studio

By Rahul Kumar

Hello Everyone! In this Android tutorial, we are going to create a Brain Tester Application in android studio. To perform this task we will be going to use java. We are going to use java to develop a Brain Tester. We can use any version of Android Studio.

Create Brain Tester App in Android Studio

Let’s start by opening the android studio and create a new project.

  1.  First, we need to design the front-end of the application we write code in activity_main.xml.
  2. Second, we need to providing functionality to our application we write java code in the MainActivity.java file.
  3. Now start building the project.

Now we are linking XML to java to provide the functionality to our application.

  1. From XML to Java, we use onClick Listener in Java.
  2. Define a variable in XML(e.g –  android:id=”@+id/button) which is called by onClick Listener.
  3. In Your Main Activity, we use a Bundle to pass the data between various activities of Android.
  4. We can map the data from the string value to various data types with the help of parsing using Bundle.
  5. In this Application we Several functions or methods like the onCreate method of our project, we created objects of  TextView, EditText,  and button and extent function of java.
  6. In this app, we use Random variables to generate random.
