The XML code is given below.
  1. <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
  2.     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"  
  3.     android:layout_width="match_parent"

  52.   
  53. </RelativeLayout>  
Step 7
 
Go to Main Activity.java. This Java program is the backend language for Android apps.
 
Android
 
The java code is given below.
  1. package abu.checkbox;  
  2.   
  3. import android.os.Bundle;  
  4. import android.app.Activity;  
  5. import android.view.Menu;  
  6. import android.view.View;  
  7. import android.view.View.OnClickListener;  
  8. import android.widget.*;  
  9.   
  10. public class MainActivity extends Activity {  
  11.     CheckBox pizza,coffe,burger;  
  12.     Button buttonOrder;  
  13.     @Override  
  14.     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
  15.         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
  16.         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
  17.         addListenerOnButtonClick();  
  18.     }  
  19.     public void addListenerOnButtonClick(){  
  20.        pizza=(CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.checkBox1);  
  21.         coffe=(CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.checkBox2);  
  22.         burger=(CheckBox)findViewById(R.id.checkBox3);  
  23.         buttonOrder=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);  
  24.         buttonOrder.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){  
  25.   
  26.             @Override  
  27.             public void onClick(View view) {  
  28.                 int totalamount=0;  
  29.                 StringBuilder result=new StringBuilder();  
  30.                 result.append("Selected Items:");  
  31.                 if(pizza.isChecked()){  
  32.                     result.append("\nPizza 100Rs");  
  33.                     totalamount+=100;  
  34.                 }  
  35.                 if(coffe.isChecked()){  
  36.                     result.append("\nCoffe 50Rs");  
  37.                     totalamount+=50;  
  38.                 }  
  39.                 if(burger.isChecked()){  
  40.                     result.append("\nBurger 120Rs");  
  41.                     totalamount+=120;  
  42.                 }  
  43.                 result.append("\nTotal: "+totalamount+"Rs");  
  44.            
  45.                 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), result.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();  
  46.             }  
  47.   
  48.         });  
  49.     }  
  50.     @Override  
  51.     public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {.  
  52.         getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);  
  53.         return true;  
  54.     }  
  55.   
  56. }   
Step 8
 
Now, go to the menu bar and click "Make Project" or press ctrl+f9 to debug the error.
