    I. OBJECTIVES

    At the end of this exercise, students must be able to:


    a) Create an Android project.
    b) Manage the directory structure for design and control codes.
    c) Apply values referencing in string.xml file.
    d) Compile, run and debug the program.

    II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

    In order to accomplish this exercise, the student must have a clear understanding of
    the following topics:
    • Android SDK
    • Android Studio IDE
    • xml structure
