Pages
The next step of creating your app is designing individual pages of the app.
Creating pages of your android app is similar to designing the pages of your website.
Navigation Bar
The navigation bar houses all the navigation options for your app. Designing this efficiently will enhance the user experience.
It is classified as General, Advanced, and Menu. Make sure you choose the right pages.
General: The General section is about enabling/disabling Home, Profile, and Logout options. These are three typical places that every user frequently navigates. We recommend you enable the options.
Advanced: The Advanced section has a list of other pages which you can enable or disable based on your preference. This includes pages like Plans (you can display your existing plans there - for the audience to purchase), Watchlist, and other static pages.
Menu: The Menu section is a fully customizable section. You can type in a name and link to any relevant created page. This will be added to your navigation bar.
Settings
This tab is all about enhancing the user experience. You can select the appearance of your widgets and fine-tune your UI. You can also work on Integrations here.
Build
Finally, you have designed the app. Now let's build your android app. Simply click on the Build app button and your app is built.
