  186.     </LinearLayout>  
  187. </LinearLayout>  
Step 5
 
Go to res->values->strings.xml. This XML file is used to contain the string value of the app.
 
The string XML code is given below.
  1. <resources>  
  2.     <string name="app_name">Ui Control</string>  
  3.     <string name="submit">submit</string>  
  4.     <string name="employee_database">Employee database</string>  
  5.     <string name="id_no">id no</string>  
  6.     <string name="name">name</string>  
  7.     <string name="address">address</string>  
  8.     <string name="email">email</string>  
  9.     <string name="phone">phone</string>  
  10.     <string name="software_tester">Software tester</string>  
  11.     <string name="male">male</string>  
  12.     <string name="female">female</string>  
  13.     <string name="gender">gender</string>  
  14.     <string name="category">category</string>  
  15.     <string name="developer">Developer</string>  
  16.     <string name="support">Support</string>  
  17.     <string name="marketing">Marketing</string>  
  18. </resources>   
Step 6
 
Go to res->values->styles.xml. This XML file contains the style value of the app.
 
The style XML code is given below.
  1. <resources>  
  2.     <!-- Base application theme. -->  
  3.     <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">  
  4.         <!-- Customize your theme here. -->  
  5.         <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>  
  6.         <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>  
  7.         <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>  
  8.     </style>  
  9.     <style name="LayoutFontStyle">  
  10.         <item name="android:layout_marginBottom">10dp</item>  
  11.         <item name="android:layout_marginEnd">10dp</item>  
  12.         <item name="android:layout_marginTop">10dp</item>  
  13.         <item name="android:layout_marginStart">10dp</item>

  23.         <item name="android:fontFamily">casual</item>  
  24.     </style>  
  25. </resources>    
Step 7
 
Go to Main Activity.kt. This Kotlin program is the back-end language for your app.

  98.             })  
  99.         }  
  100.     }  
Step 8
 
Create a new Empty Activity and name it is as Submit Activity.
 
Submit Activity XML code is given below.
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>      
  2. <LinearLayout      
  3.    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"      
  4.    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"      
  5.    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"      
  6.    android:layout_width="match_parent"      
  7.    android:layout_height="match_parent"      
  8.    android:orientation="vertical"      
  9.    tools:context=".SubmitActivity">      
  10. <TextView

  15.    android:textSize="25sp"      
  16.    />      
  17. <TextView      
  18.    android:id="@+id/text"      
  19.    android:layout_width="wrap_content"      
  20.    android:layout_height="wrap_content"      
  21.    android:textSize="25sp"      
  22.    />      
  23. </LinearLayout>    
The SubmitActivity.kt code is mentioned below.
  1. package com.abu.uicontrol      
  2. import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity      
  3. import android.os.Bundle      
  4. import android.widget.TextView      
  5. class SubmitActivity : AppCompatActivity() {      
  6.    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {      
  7.       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)      
  8.       setContentView(R.layout.activity_submit)      
  9.       val text= findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text)    
  10.       val name =intent.getStringExtra("Name")      
  11.       val email = intent.getStringExtra("Email")     
  12.       val id = intent.getStringExtra("id")      
  13.       val address = intent.getStringExtra("address")     
  14.       val phone = intent.getStringExtra("phone")      
  15.       val gender = intent.getStringExtra("gender")    
  16.       val softwares=intent.getStringExtra("software")      
  17.       val developers=intent.getStringExtra("developer")    
  18.       val Supports = intent.getStringExtra("Support")      
  19.       val marketings = intent.getStringExtra("marketing")      
  20.       text.text = "\nId: "+id+"\nName: "+name+"\naddress: "+address+"\nEmail: "+email+"\nphone: "+phone+"\nGender: "+gender+"\nCategory: "+softwares +marketings +Supports +developers }    
  21. }   
Step 9
 
Then, click the "Run" button or press shift+f10 to finally run the project. And, choose the "virtual machine" option and click OK.
