Term project

Summary
For my term project, I created an app that lets you type down a message and then it will
display the message in another activity. The code that you need is below: The main
activity.java which is easy to follow, the main activity.xml consists of an edit text and a
button. In the hint area, you connect the strings together for the button and the edit text,
the edit text is the edit message string and the button is the send message string. The
display message java code will help the message be sent. The onclick should be
configured for the button.

Emulator This is what the layout should be

Code
ACTIVITY_MAIN.XML
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editTextTextPersonNam
e"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="@string/edit_message"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:textColor="#9C27B0"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="32dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="43dp"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="@string/button_send"
android:onClick="sendMessage"
android:textColor="#8A2C2C"
app:layout_constraintBaseline_toBaseli
neOf="@+id/editTextTextPersonName"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="287dp"
/>
Strings.xml
<string name="app_name">My first
app</string>
<string name="edit_message">Enter a

<string
name="button_send">Send</string>
ACTIVITY_JAVA.XML
public static final String
EXTRA_MESSAGE =
"com.example.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle
savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main
);
}
public void sendMessage(View view)
{
Intent intent = new
Intent(this,
DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText)
findViewById(R.id.editTextTextPersonN
ame);
String message =
editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE,
message);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
DisplayMessageActivity.java
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle
savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_disp
lay_message);
Intent intent = getIntent();
String message =
intent.getStringExtra(MainActivity.EXT
RA_MESSAGE);
TextView textView =
findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setText(message);
