Basic UI design in android

Begin by creating an Android project. Implement your Android application as normal. Once you have a project set up and the application running, decide under what screen you want to add Button controls to. Perhaps you’ve simply created a new Android project with its default Activity and layout (main.xml). This will work for this tutorial.
I'm doing basic UI design page for registration.

main.xml:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"  >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/SampleUI"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:textColor="#000fff"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"

        android:inputType="textPersonName" 
        android:hint="@string/firstName"
       >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"

        android:inputType="textPersonName" 
        android:hint="@string/lastName"/>

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText3"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress" 
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:hint="@string/email" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText4"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:hint="@string/passwd" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText5"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:ems="10"
        android:inputType="phone" 
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:hint="@string/Mobile"/>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/submit"
        android:textColor="#000fff"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp" />
    
    </LinearLayout>

And open res->values->Strings.xml file. Copy below code. 

Strings.xml:


<resources>
<string name="app_name">Prakash_BasicUI</string>
    <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
    <string name="menu_settings">Settings</string>
    <string name="SampleUI">Registration</string>
    <string name="firstName">FirstName</string>
    <string name="lastName">LastName</string>
    <string name="email">Email</string>
    <string name="passwd">Password</string>
    <string name="Mobile">Mobile Number</string>
    <string name="submit">Submit</string>
</resources>

Screen will look like this......
