Views and layouts are essential in Android applications as they determine the visual presentation, user interaction, and overall user experience, enabling developers to create intuitive and visually appealing interfaces that adapt to different device sizes and orientations. In this course you will learn the basics of using layouts or ViewGroups to design your application's screen. You will create screens using TextViews, EditText widgets, and ImageViews. Next, you will improve the look and feel of your application by including a MaterialToolbar to display the app title and other actions. You will also see how you can incorporate and wire up a floating action button in your app. Furthermore, you will explore listeners in more detail by developing a simple counter application that also includes a Snackbar for notifications. Finally, you will expand your skills in Android app development by exploring different layout options, including the linear, relative, frame, and constraint layouts.
