One way to boost productivity in traditional factories is to use assembly line. From Wikipedia: An assembly line is a manufacturing process (often called a progressive assembly) in which parts (usually interchangeable parts) are added as the semi-finished assembly moves from workstation to workstation where the parts are added in sequence until the final assembly is produced. By mechanically moving the parts to the assembly work and moving the semi-finished assembly from work station to work station, a finished product can be assembled faster and with less labor than by having workers carry parts to a stationary piece for assembly.

Attach the first wheel to the body.

Set color directly Two methods can be used: paint.setColor(Color.parseColor("#B90E83"); paint.setARGB(100, 255, 0, 0); There is no difference, pick whichever you like. Set color using Shader There are different types of Shader, let’s look them one by one.
