    Chapter 6. Android User Interface > The StatusActivity Java Class

    6.5. The StatusActivity Java Class

    Now that we have our UI designed in XML, we are ready to switch over to Java. Remember from earlier in this chapter that Android provides two ways for building user interfaces. One is by declaring it in XML, which is what we just did, and we got as far as we could (for now). The other one is to build it programmatically in Java. We also said earlier that the best practice is to get as far as possible in XML and then switch over to Java.

    Our Java class for this is StatusActivity.java, and the Eclipse New Project dialog has already created the stub for this class. The class is part of the com.marakana.yamba1 Java package, and as such is part of that directory.
