Steps to create a Signup Screen in Android Studio

To create a Signup screen android tutorial in android studio using material components we have to follow these steps:

Make a new project in android studio (if you are new and don’t see our splash screen article)
Change the style of an app to NoActionBar to remove action bar.
Remove the top status bar of screen.
Add dependency to gradle file
Design the .xml file for signup screen.
At last write code in java class.
Write code in java class.

1. Create a new Android Studio Project:

If you are new to tutorial then you have to create a new android studio project. Don’t know how to create? Click on the link to know How to create android studio project?

2. Add Dependency/Libraries in Android Studio:

To add a dependency first of all open a build.gradle file. There are two build.gradle files. First is of project level which has a name with build.gradle(project:project name) and the second one is build.gradle(Module: app). You have to open build.gradle(Module: app) as seen in the image. If you know the dependency of material components then you can copy and paste it. i-e

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'

If you don’t know the library or dependency to add in the application then there is a second step. Go to build tab on the top, click on the edit libraries and dependencies then click on plus + button and search-related dependency.

3. Design Signup’s XML File:

First of all, make an empty activity named as Signup. To design Signup Screen as shown in a youtube video or gif image, just simply copy and paste this code into your .xml file in res => layout => activity_signup.xml. As mentioned above, we are using material components. So instead of using a simple text view, you have to use this code.

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

How to hide Status Bar in android studio screen?

Sometime we don’t want status bar to be shown in the activity. So to hide that status bar simply write the code inside onCreate() method and above the line that calls our .xml layout

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    //This Line will hide the status bar from the screen
    getWindow().setFlags(
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN
    );
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_sign_up);
}

How to Enable Shared Animation?

Open styles file in res=>values=>styles and write this single line as an item between <style> tags

Code for animation in Splash Screen MainActivity.java

Add this code inside the method which is calling the 2nd activity (SignUp activity) from the first screen from where you want to start animation(Login to SignUp in this example)

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        //Call next screen
        Intent intent = new Intent(Login.this, SignUp.class);

        //Attach all the elements those you want to animate in design
        Pair[]  pairs = new Pair[2];
        pairs[0] = new Pair<View,String>(image, "logo_image");
        pairs[1] = new Pair<View,String>(logo, "logo_text");
        //wrap the call in API level 21 or higher
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            ActivityOptions options = ActivityOptions.makeSceneTransitionAnimation(Login.this,pairs);
            startActivity(intent,options.toBundle());
        }
    }
}, SPLASH_SCREEN);

4. Complete SignUp.java Code which is Signup Screen in this example

package com.taimoorsikander.myapplication;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout;

public class SignUp extends AppCompatActivity {
    //Variables
    TextInputLayout regName, regUsername, regEmail, regPhoneNo, regPassword;
    Button regBtn, regToLoginBtn;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_sign_up);

        //Hooks to all xml elements in activity_sign_up.xml
        regName = findViewById(R.id.reg_name);
        regUsername = findViewById(R.id.reg_username);
        regEmail = findViewById(R.id.reg_email);
        regPhoneNo = findViewById(R.id.reg_phoneNo);
        regPassword = findViewById(R.id.reg_password);
        regBtn = findViewById(R.id.reg_btn);
        regToLoginBtn = findViewById(R.id.reg_login_btn);
    }//onCreate Method End
}
