Answer 1

You can take in the user input for username and password and compare it to database records. You can then handle the result via an if-else statement, if there's a positive match, then you can proceed by calling another activity. Otherwise, you show a toast to notify the user about the mismatch.

I strongly suggest you go over basic Android tutorials and come back when you stumble upon other problems.
