Creating a Java class or type

Android Studio helps you to create new Java classes; enumeration and singleton classes; and interface and annotation types based on file templates.

To create a new Java class or type, follow these steps:

1. In the Project window, right-click a Java file or folder, and select New > Java Class.

   Alternatively, select a Java file or folder in the Project window, or click in a Java file in the Code Editor. Then select File > New > Java Class.
