Remove default TextView from new activity layout

Question

When you create new activity using IDE constructor (new->activity) - in both Android Studio and Eclipse - it creates new java file, layout file, adds activity to the manifest etc.

And every time there's a TextView with "Hello World" text at the layout file (if you choose "Blank Activity" pattern). Also string value "Hello World" is automatically added into strings res file.

Of course no special effort is needed to delete manually string value and TextView but one day it becomes really annoying.

My question:

If there's a way to change the new activity creation mechanism and create just empty activity layout file (only with container layout, e.g. RelativeLayout)?

Answer 1

you can go to your sdk path /sdk/platforms/[android-version]/templates and modify the template files

Answer 2

Go to your SDK Path. In my case

sdk\platforms\android-[version]\templates

And open layout.template in any editor like Notepad++

Delete Textview widget from this layout.template file.
