Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) design of an application presents a user-friendly, elegant, concise, and attractive mechanism for interacting with visual components. Android is a powerful Linux-based mobile operating system, and these days android devices are becoming the most sought-after and widely used devices than other types of mobile devices in the mobile application market. Nowadays, android applications (herein as ‘android apps’) have also become popular in the educational sector because of their compatible, efficient, and effective interface to access the content. In android apps, graphical designs are built from GUI components which is an object with which mobile user interacts via various forms of input. This paper presents the basic structured GUI design of an educational android application. These days, the GUI design of any android is an increasingly important factor in deciding whether your app will be accepted by mobile users to achieve success in the market and it also builds a connection between users and applications. In addition, users have more expectations and demands for good quality GUI design. GUI design contains three phases: informational architecture, interaction, and visual design. The aim of this paper helps to explain how to create a basic GUI design of an educational android application by using an integrated development environment (Android Studio) and programming languages such as Extensible Markup Language (XML) with different graphical components such as visual layouts and widgets. To assess user experience, this study has carried the survey using a questionnaire set. The main motive (purpose) of the survey was to assess (evaluate) the effectiveness and the user experience of the interface design.
