Quiz App is an android based application, and enables the user to undertake a series of questions on Java language. The app is user friendly, and the user shall find it extremely easy to answer the multiple-choice questions. At the end of the quiz, a result-report is generated which states the score. The Quiz app also presents an option to the current user to play the question-round again or quit in between.

playGame =(Button)findViewById(R.id.playGame);
quit = (Button) findViewById(R.id.exit);
textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tQ);

Now its time to add the first Activity to our application. Select the Empty Activity from the avilable options. And click on Next.
Enter the activity name to be MainActivity, and Android Studio will automatically fill the layout file name. It is a standard practice to add suffix Activity in the Activity names and we will follow it. And for layout XML file, it is all words in small and in reverse order, separated by underscore _. Click on Finish to create the Quiz app project.
