ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces a method for teaching non-computer-majoring students to code for Android. With mobile computing becoming very common nowadays, a lot of developers are using Android to code and build apps. Hence, developing apps for mobile devices has become more and more popular, and is of great significance in programming. Android programming is based on Java programming language. The students from non-computer specialty show great interest in learning the Android App programming. Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used in computer programming, and is the most widely used Java IDE. Because the students from non-computer specialty are the beginners for programming in Android, Eclipse with ADT is the best choice for those students. An activity represents a single screen with a user interface just like window or frame of Java. It represents the presentation layer of an Android application.
