In Android, I think you may have seen many Android apps have a user login. That app requires a user login to their app before using it. If you are an app creator or developer, you should design and create a beautiful login screen for your user.

For this article, I created a beautiful Android Studio user login app.

Android Contents:

So please follow with me step by step:

1. Create a new android project (my example project)

Project name: Simple User Login

Package name: com.eangkor.simpleuserlogin

Language: Java

2. In the AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.eangkor.simpleuserlogin">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.SimpleUserLogin">
        <activity android:name=".WelcomeActivity"></activity>
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

3. In the activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

        app:layout_constraintStart_toEndOf="@+id/imageView3"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/twitter" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

4. Create a new Activity

  • WelcomeActivity, when a user enters a correct username and password, it will intent (redirect) to this Activity.

activity_welcome.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".WelcomeActivity">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Welcome to my APP"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="www.ifixproblem.com"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.504"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/textView"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.027" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

WelcomeActivity.java

package com.eangkor.simpleuserlogin;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.os.Bundle;

public class WelcomeActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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

6. In the MainActivity.java

package com.eangkor.simpleuserlogin;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    Button loginbtn;
    EditText username, password;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        username =(EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextUsername);
        password =(EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextPassword);
        loginbtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);

        loginbtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                if(username.getText().toString().toLowerCase().equals("admin") && password.getText().toString().equals("1234")){
                    //correct login
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"LOGIN SUCCESSFUL", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    // redirect to Welcome Activity
                    Intent startIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), WelcomeActivity.class);
                    startIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                    startActivity(startIntent);
                }else
                    // Fail login
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"LOGIN FAILED !!!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });


    }
}
