so don't do it.

Note:
If your emulator does not quite work...
   . Android Studio menu
   . Tools
   . AVD Manager
   . choose your emulator and Actions: edit
   . for Emulated Performance choose Software

Step 2:

Add a button to your app.

Set your button label to something interesting.

When the button is clicked or touched,
the Hello World! will change to your own name.

Button should be just above the middle of the screen.
Text must be just above or just below your button.
(not up in the corner)

then go away.

Step 4:
