Making a complete Android Quiz Game

Make new class files (.java files) in your application package as below :

1. MainActivity.java
2. Options.java
3. Question.java
4. QuestionActivity.java
5. QuestionActivity1.java
6. QuizHelper.java
7. ResultActivity.java

Edit the MainActivity.java class as following. This will be the splash screen for our game.

MainActivity.java:

package h.mygame;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Handler;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Splash screen timer
private static int SPLASH_TIME_OUT = 3000;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.splash);

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

/*
* Showing splash screen with a timer. This will be useful when you
* want to show case your app logo / company
*/

@Override
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(MainActivity.this,Options.class);
startActivity(i);
finish();
}
}, SPLASH_TIME_OUT);
}

}

Edit the QuestionActivity.java class file as following. This activity will serve the basic purpose of playing the main game part and displaying the questions to the users.

QuestionActivity.java:

package h.mygame;

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.annotation.TargetApi;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Build;

import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

Edit the QuestionActivity1.java class file as following. This file is same as above file, only it doesn’t has the timer functions and there will be no time limit while opening this activity.

QuestionActivity1.java:

package h.mygame;

Make changes in the QuizHelper.java file as following. This file will be helping us, create our game database and store the questions in the database.

quesList.add(quest);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
// return quest list
return quesList;
}
}

Open the Question.java file and edit it has following:

Question.java:

package h.mygame;

import android.app.Activity;

/**
* Created by acer on 06-Apr-16.
*/
public class Question extends Activity {
private int ID;
private String QUESTION;
private String OPTA;
private String OPTB;
private String OPTC;
private String ANSWER;
public Question() {
ID = 0;
QUESTION = "";
OPTA = "";
OPTB = "";
OPTC = "";
ANSWER = "";
}
public Question(String qUESTION, String oPTA, String oPTB, String oPTC,
String aNSWER) {
QUESTION = qUESTION;
OPTA = oPTA;
OPTB = oPTB;
OPTC = oPTC;
ANSWER = aNSWER;
}
public int getID() {
return ID;
}
public String getQUESTION() {
return QUESTION;
}
public String getOPTA() {
return OPTA;
}
public String getOPTB() {
return OPTB;
}
public String getOPTC() {
return OPTC;
}
public String getANSWER() {
return ANSWER;
}
public void setID(int id) {
ID = id;
}
public void setQUESTION(String qUESTION) {
QUESTION = qUESTION;
}
public void setOPTA(String oPTA) {
OPTA = oPTA;
}
public void setOPTB(String oPTB) {
OPTB = oPTB;
}
public void setOPTC(String oPTC) {
OPTC = oPTC;
}
public void setANSWER(String aNSWER) {
ANSWER = aNSWER;
}
}

 

Open the Options.java and edit it as following. This file will be used to show the game options like easy,intermediate and hard to our users.

Options.java:

package h.mygame;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

/**
* Created by acer on 06-Apr-16.
*/
public class Options extends Activity {

Button btnhard,btnintermediate,btnsimple,btntime,btnuntime;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.optionsmenu);

btnhard = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnhard);
btnsimple = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnsimple);
btnintermediate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnintermediate);
btntime = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btntime);
btnuntime = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnuntime);

btntime.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Options.this,
QuestionActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
});
btnuntime.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Options.this,
QuestionActivity1.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
});
btnhard.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Options.this,
QuestionActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
finish();
}
});

btnsimple.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//please implement your own logic
}
});

btnintermediate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//please implement your own logic
}
});

}

}

And lastly, open the ResultActivity.java file and edit it as following. This activity will serve the purpose of showing scores to our users.

ResultActivity.java:

package h.mygame;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;

/**
* Created by acer on 06-Apr-16.
*/
public class ResultActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_result);
TextView textResult = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textResult);
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
int score = b.getInt("score");
textResult.setText("Your score is " + " " + score + ". Thanks for playing my game.");
}
public void playagain(View o) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Options.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

And lastly change your AndroidManifest.xml file as following :

AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="h.mygame">
