# Tiny Activity - Android

This is a minimal Android project demonstrating that you don't necessarily

need to occupy the entire screen with your app's UI or use layout XML files.

## Concept

This project showcases an Activity that contains only a single `TextView`

created programmatically. The `TextView` displays a simple message and is

positioned with some padding.

## Code

The core of the project lies in the `MainActivity` class:

```kotlin

class MainActivity : Activity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        title = "Activity"

        val tv = TextView(this)

        tv.text = getString(R.string.activity_itself)

        tv.textSize = 20F

        tv.setPadding(20, 20, 20, 20)

        setContentView(tv)

    }

}

```

This code demonstrates:

- Creating a `TextView` instance.

- Setting the text using a string resource.- Adjusting the text size and adding

  padding.

- Setting the `TextView` as the content view of the Activity.

## Purpose

This project serves as an educational example to illustrate that Android

development offers flexibility in UI design. You can create dynamic and minimal

interfaces without relying solely on XML layouts.

**Note:** While this demonstrates the concept, building real-world apps usually

involves more complex layouts and UI elements for a better user experience.
