For class names in Kotlin Android programming, it is recommended to use PascalCase similar to Java naming conventions. For example, a class that represents a user profile could be named UserProfile.
data class UserProfile {
var name: String = ""
var age: Int = 0
var interests: List<String> = listOf()
}
For activity class and fragment names in Android programming, it is recommended to use PascalCase similar to Java and Kotlin naming conventions. For example, an activity that displays a user profile could be named UserProfileActivity, and a fragment that displays a list of user profiles could be named UserProfileListFragment.
For naming conventions in layouts, it is recommended to follow a descriptive naming convention that reflects the contents of the layout. For example, if a layout contains a list of items, it could be named list_item.xml. activity_home, activity_main
For class names, it is recommended to use PascalCase similar to Kotlin and Java naming conventions.
For drawable resources, it is recommended to use lowercase and underscores to separate words. For example, a drawable resource that contains an icon for a search button could be named ic_search_button.png or img_home
For naming conventions for ids in XML layout, it is recommended to use lowercase with underscores to separate words. For example, an ID for a button that saves a user's profile information could be named save_profile_button or tvHelloWorld
| Type | Naming Convention |
|---|---|
| Activity | PascalCase: MyActivity |
| Fragment | PascalCase with "Fragment" suffix: MyFragment |
| Adapter | PascalCase with "Adapter" suffix: MyAdapter |
| Data Class | PascalCase: MyDataClass |
| Layout | Descriptive naming convention that reflects contents: list_item.xml |
| Drawable | Lowercase with underscores to separate words: icon_search_button.png |
| android:id | save_profile_button or btn_save_profile or textview_username component_what_is_the_description |
PascalCase is a naming convention for compound words in which the first letter of each word is capitalized. It is commonly used in programming to name classes, methods, and other constructs.
Camel case is a naming convention for compound words in which the first letter of each word is capitalized except for the first word, which starts with a lowercase letter. It is commonly used in programming to name variables and functions. An example of a camel case variable name is myVariableName.
