Android Tutorial & Lessons 5: [How To] XML made EASY & Introduce Java

What's up my peepz? (who says peepz anymore?) This lesson will get you up and running, and even if you are an absolute beginner, you can do it.

In this lesson you will learn:

-XML, the Easy way, using the Graphical Layout
-Accessing Properties Tab (and other tabs) in Eclipse
-Making a Button
-Introduction to the id reference in Java
-New XML functions
-Introduction/Review of how the Manifest calls the Java activity which calls the XML layout
-Create a new XML layout
-HOMEWORK: create 3 different icons and place them in the appropriate folders ( create one icon 150x150px for the high density folder, one 75x75 for medium, and one 35x35 for the low density folder)

This video is the 5 in a web series that I am creating to help you learn Android programming so you can create apps and eventually how to learn to write games for android phones. I want to explain things in a way that everyone can understand, even if you have no experience with Java, XML, C, OpenGL, or as a matter of fact, any other programming language.
