Getting started with the Snake game
To get started, make a new project called Snake
with the usual settings (empty Activity, no layout file, without backward compatibility) and call the Activity SnakeActivity
.
Make full screen and landscape
As we have done in all the previous projects, let's make the game full screen and locked to landscape orientation.
As a reminder, here is how to edit the AndroidManifest.xml
file:
- Open the
AndroidManifest.xml
file in the editor window. - In the
AndroidManifest.xml
file, locate the following line of code:android:name=".SnakeActivity">
- Place the cursor before the closing
>
shown above. Tap the Enter key a couple of times to move the>

SnakeActivity

type or copy and paste these two lines to make the game run full screen and lock it in the landscape orientation.android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"...
