Q & A

What is the main objective of the video demonstration?

The main objective of the video is to demonstrate the process of creating a login screen UI for a mobile app using Android Studio, showcasing layout design, button functionality, and app testing on both an emulator and a physical device.

What devices were used for testing the app in the demonstration?

The app was tested on two devices: an emulator running Nexus 6 30 on the laptop and a real Samsung SM A21 F7 device.

How does the background color of the app differ between devices?

The background color of the app differs based on the device’s theme setting. If the device is set to Dark Mode, the background color appears dark, while in Light Mode, it remains white.

What layout manager is used for arranging the UI components in the app?

The UI components are arranged using **LinearLayout** with a vertical orientation, ensuring that the elements are displayed in a top-to-bottom sequence.

What customizations were made to the CardView in the app?

The CardView was customized with a margin of 30, a radius of 30dp, and an elevation of 20, giving it a visually appealing appearance with rounded corners and a shadow effect.

What is the significance of the `gravity` and `background color` attributes in the `activity.xml` file?

The `gravity` attribute is used to center the UI elements within the layout, while the `background color` is set to blue to define the visual theme of the screen.

How does the app handle the login process in terms of username and password validation?

The app validates the entered username and password against predefined values (username: 'sakura' and password: '2311'). If the credentials match, a 'Login Successful' popup appears. If they don't, a 'Login Failed' message is shown.

What role does the `TextView` play in the login layout?

The `TextView` is used to display various text elements, such as the 'Login' label, the 'Username' and 'Password' fields, and a registration prompt ('Not registered? Sign up now'). It helps provide informative labels and instructions to the user.

What is the purpose of defining custom colors in the `colors.xml` file?

The custom colors in `colors.xml` (pink, blue, purple, and black) are used to define consistent color schemes for UI elements, providing a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing design throughout the app.

How was the app tested on the physical Android device?

The app was tested on the physical device (Samsung SM A21 F7) by enabling USB debugging, connecting the device via USB, and running the app to test the login functionality and observe the behavior on the real device.
