π Why Build an App With Legal & Contact Pages?
If you’re planning to publish an app on the Google Play Store, itβs essential to include legal pages like Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, About Us, and Contact. These not only make your app professional and transparent but also fulfill Play Store policy requirements.
β Key Components Required
Hereβs what your basic app should include:
- Home Screen / Dashboard
- About Us Page
- Contact Page
- Disclaimer Page
- Privacy Policy Page
- Navigation Drawer or Bottom Navigation
π§© Technologies Used
- Kotlin (Preferred by Google)
- Material Design
- Jetpack Navigation / DrawerLayout
- WebView (optional for legal content)
π App Structure
β Example 1: About Us Page (Kotlin)
AboutUsActivity.kt
activity_about_us.xml
β Example 2: Contact Page
ContactActivity.kt
activity_contact.xml
β Example 3: Disclaimer Page
DisclaimerActivity.kt
activity_desclaimer.xml
