Tip

Android Studio Setup: When setting up Android Studio, ensure you have the latest SDK installed. Use AVD Manager to create an emulator matching your target API level. For debugging, enable USB debugging on your physical device or use Android Studio's built-in profiler to monitor app performance.

Warning

API Level Compatibility: Android applications must handle different API levels correctly. Always check minimum SDK requirements and use AppCompat libraries for backward compatibility. Pay special attention to Activity lifecycle methods and handle configuration changes (like screen rotation) properly to prevent data loss.

How to Use

Running Android Projects

  1. Open Android Studio and select "Open an existing project".
  2. Navigate to the experiment folder containing the Android project.
  3. Sync Gradle files when prompted.
  4. Run the application by clicking the green play button or pressing Shift+F10.

Example:

# Open Android Studio from command line (Windows)
cd "MAD Lab/Experiment-1"
start studio64.exe .

Tip

Virtual Laboratory Resources: This repository features a comprehensive Virtual Lab Section, providing access to the underlying source code and simulations (including Java Applets, NS2 scripts, and Android projects) for practical verification of theoretical concepts. Supplementary virtual experiments are also available through the IIT Kharagpur Virtual Lab.

Laboratory Reports

Each experiment includes comprehensive PDF reports covering:

  • Aim: The specific mobile app development objective
  • Theory: Android components, lifecycle, and architecture concepts
  • Implementation: Code explanation with screenshots of UI and execution
  • Use these reports as a reference for structuring your own lab submissions.
