In making of this app you will need two textviews, two editTexts, button, image view. Choose these options from the palette. The EditText is where the user will enter his name and his password. Also the textView act as labels so that it can give information to what the user should do. The button act as when the user click on the button it can take the user to another page of the app called Activity.

Moreover, android has two options called activity_main.xml, MainActivity.java. The activity_main.xml is where you make your app attractive while the MainActivity.java is where you add functionality to your app. The activity_main.xml is coded in xml and the MainActivity is coded in java

Open the activity_main.xml and follow my code. I will explain every code in the screenshot

![first screenshot.PNG]() The first six lines of the code are default codes that is generated by android studio so you don’t have to worry about it. There are other types of layout called LinearLayout, TableLayout and so on. • ImageView : I will start by the explaining the imageView. The imageView act as background where you can put your image to distinct it from the original background. The id just mean the name of the imageView you choose to call it. I chose to gave mine imageView. The layout width is set to wrap content so that it can fill some part of the background of the app. Also the layout height is set to “200dp” , the measurement here is in “dp”. Moreover the scale type position the image. To put your image, copy and paste your image in the drawable.
