Introduction :
<\/strong> A gradient screen in Android refers to a background with a smooth transition between two or more colors. This effect enhances the visual appeal of your app’s interface, providing a modern and dynamic look. Gradients can be linear, radial, or angular, allowing flexibility in design to suit various themes and styles.

Steps :<\/strong>
Step 1: Open the project in Android Studio, navigate to the res\/drawable folder, and create a new drawable resource file with the desired name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Add the start color, end color, and angle to the gradient properties. This will display the gradient on the UI screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Import the gradient file into the layout where you want to apply it. For example, I added the gradient file to activity_main.xml. Similarly, you can add the gradient file to any layout where you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
