Advanced Android Advanced Android: Create Project

This document discusses the steps to create an Android application for temperature conversion. It begins by explaining how to create a new Android project in Eclipse, including specifying project details. It then covers designing the application's graphical user interface using XML views, adding elements like EditText, RadioButtons and Buttons. The document also includes the Java source code used to link these interface elements to conversion methods. Finally, it discusses deploying the application to a mobile device using Eclipse and a file manager, and ideas for improvements like changing images, adding toasts and vibrations.
