<p>This is a collection of "Hello World"-style tutorials designed
to get you started quickly with common Android layouts and widgets.</p>

<p>A certain amount of knowledge is assumed for these tutorials. Before you start,
you should have completed the <a href="{@docRoot}resources/tutorials/hello-world.html">Hello,
World</a> tutorial&mdash;it will teach you several things about basic
Android development. More specifically, you should know:</p>
<ul>
  <li>How to create an Android project and run it</li>
  <li>The basic structure of an Android project (resource files, layout files, etc.)</li>
  <li>The basic components of an {@link android.app.Activity}</li>
</ul>

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> In order to make these tutorials as simple as possible,
some code may not conform to best practices for coding Android applications. In particular,
hard-coded strings are used in places, when the better practice is to reference strings from a
<code>res/values/strings.xml</code> resource file.</p>

<p class="note"><strong>Tip:</strong> After you have pasted sample code into an Eclipse project,
press <strong>Ctrl (or Cmd) + Shift + O</strong> to import the required packages.</p>
