Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.
Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools = "http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "match_parent" tools:context = ".MainActivity" android:orientation = "vertical"> <EditText android:id = "@+id/name" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:hint = "Enter Name" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" /> <LinearLayout android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "wrap_content"> <Button android:id = "@+id/save" android:text = "Save" android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" /> <Button android:id = "@+id/refresh" android:text = "Refresh" android:layout_width = "wrap_content" android:layout_height = "wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout> <ListView android:id = "@+id/listView" android:layout_width = "match_parent" android:layout_height = "wrap_content"> </ListView> </LinearLayout>
