# What is MVC pattern in Android?

Is it possible to implement the [Model](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81334/america-is-reopening-after-corona-lockdown-but-on-swedish-model)-[View](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/84701/layoffs-in-google-india-2023-view)-[Controller](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/273/passing-values-from-controller-to-view-in-asp-dot-net-mvc) [pattern](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2314/what-is-the-mvp-and-mvc-pattern) in [Java](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12214/web-development-company-in-india-laid-on-the-foundation-of-concrete-java-programming) for [Android](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13046/10-reasons-why-i-prefer-android-vs-iphone-ios)? Or is it [already](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/88453/the-hidden-ways-ai-is-already-controlling-your-daily-life) implemented through [Activities](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2589/describe-android-activities-in-brief)? Or is there a better way to implement the [MVC](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155803/define-cache-profile-in-mvc) pattern for Android?

In Android you don't have MVC, but you have the following:\

1. You define your user interface in various XML files by resolution, hardware, etc.\
2. You define your resources in various XML files by locale, etc.\
3. You extend clases like ListActivity, TabActivity and make use of the XML file by inflaters.\
4. You can create as many classes as you wish for your business logic.\
5. A lot of Utils have been already written for you - DatabaseUtils, Html.\
