Now a days everyone likes to create memes for their schooling purpose, working related and entertain the peoples through social networking.

Using this application you can create wonderful memes that’s impress everyone and easy navigation to use even uneducated persons also handle this application. We already give some photos for develop your own meme contents without using your phone gallery. Now meme creators are thinking like very advanced so they are looking for perfect meme applications.

Create Android Meme Application

There are many option we build in this application so its make good results for compare other android meme application studios.

Let’s create the project of android meme creation in Android Studio platform. First as usual create new project and choose the activity and in this project we will rename the MainActivity.java file to replace the name of WelcomeScreenActivity.java and also change the XML layout. This is not an mandatory, you can also use MainActivity.java file name no problem.

Develop Android Meme Application

We assume you have some knowledge in android application development, so you can easily understand how’s develop this android meme application in android studio. Let’s start first open the WelcomeScreenActivity.java class file and add the following below code to implement the welcome screen activity in our meme application.

In this project we used four directory to make meme application in different categories so everyone’s are easily understand the code which logic used here in the project. Here spaces are not enough to explain all the codes so finally i give the full source code of Create Android meme application in android studio.

XML Layouts

In above I mentioned only for WelcomeScreenActivity.java class file only. So after adding the code just download the full project source code and add other java lass files in the directoy. Then move on the layout files to integrate java class files to implement the user interface navigation.

Let’s start to make perfect user interface for meme application. In every android project user interface’s are very important than application features because end users are like interfaces only that’s automatically make more visitors from our application. Open the default xml file activity_welcome_screen.xml (i have rename the xml file) and add the following below code in your android meme application project.
