Button send = findViewById(R.id.buttonSend);
send.setOnClickListener(v -> {
String e = email.getText().toString();
if (e.isEmpty()) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Enter email", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.parse("mailto:" + e))
.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, ((EditText)
findViewById(R.id.editTextSubject)).getText().toString())

7. Learn to Deploy Android Applications.
(Publishing your Android Application).
Step-by-Step Guide to Publishing an Android App
on the Google Play Store
Step 1: Prepare the App for Release
1. Testing
- Test on various devices, screen sizes, and Android versions.
- Ensure smooth UX and performance under different conditions.
2. Optimization
- Minimize APK/AAB size.
- Use ProGuard or R8 for code shrinking and obfuscation.
3. Security
- Patch vulnerabilities.
- Secure APIs, encrypt storage, and protect user data.
4. Compliance
- Follow Google Play Developer Policies.
5. Update Version Info
Edit build.gradle:
android {
defaultConfig {
versionCode 2
versionName "1.1"
6. Check Permissions
In AndroidManifest.xml:
-
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.myapp">
...
</manifest>
Step 2: Generate Signed APK or AAB
In Android Studio:
- Go to Build > Generate Signed Bundle / APK
- Choose APK or Android App Bundle (AAB) and click Next
- Provide:
- Keystore path
- Passwords and alias (or create new)
- Developer info (Name, City, Country)
- Select release build and click Finish
Your signed APK/AAB will be generated.
Step 3: Create a Google Play Developer Account
- Go to https://play.google.com/console
- Sign in with your Google account
- Pay a 25 USD one-time fee
- Fill in:
- Developer name (public)
- Email and phone
- Identity verification
Step 4: Upload App on Google Play Console
1. Log in and click Create App
2. Enter:
- App title
- Default language
- Developer details
3. Fill in Store Listing:
- Short and Full descriptions
- Screenshots (Phone, Tablet, etc.)
- App Icon: 512x512 px
- Feature Graphic: 1024x500 px
4. Upload Signed APK/AAB
5. Set:
- Pricing (Free or Paid)
- Countries to distribute
6. Save and click Publish
8. Create a sample application with login module(check user name and
password) On successful login change TextView “Login Successful”. On login
fail alert using toast “Login Fail”.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:hint="Password"
android:inputType="textPassword"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/loginBtn"
android:text="Login"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
MainActivity.java
package com.example.login;
import android.os.*;
import android.widget.*;
import androidx.appcompat.app.*;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private EditText usernameInput, passwordInput;
private TextView loginStatus;
private static final String USER = "user", PASS = "password";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
usernameInput = findViewById(R.id.username);
passwordInput = findViewById(R.id.password);
loginStatus = findViewById(R.id.loginBtn);
findViewById(R.id.loginBtn).setOnClickListener(v -> validateLogin());
private void validateLogin() {
if (usernameInput.getText().toString().equals(USER) &&
passwordInput.getText().toString().equals(PASS)) {
loginStatus.setText("Login Successful");
Toast.makeText(this, "Login Successful", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); //
Added Toast for successful login
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Login Failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
