Add long text /Description / paragraph in an android application

Hello guys, In this tutorial, we will see how to create activity with textview, image view and add long text or description or how to include a paragraph in an activity.

Step 1: Create a new project in an android studio.

step 2:  Give any name to your project.

Step 3: Select the minimum SDK version for your project.

Step 4: Select any activity for your project to start with coding. I have selected empty activity here.

Step 5: MainActivity will be your default and necessary activity.

Step 6: After clicking "Finish", we will be able to get started with our application coding.

We all know how to add text to activity but now we will see how to add long text or description or paragraph to our android activity.

Below is the code for this project.

MainActivity.java :

package com.sharayusuryawanshi.lenovo.android_paragraph;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

Make sure to change your package name to avoid errors.

The version history of the Android mobile operating system began with the public release of the Android beta on November 5, 2007.
