Create a new note in the new note activity by entering a title and text, validating inputs, and inserting the data into the database via a bundle to main activity.
Explore building a calculator app for Android KitKat, selecting a minimum sdk, and implementing digit entry with onClick handlers, decimal point control, and a text view display.
Create a bouncing ball in Android using a custom canvas, with a velocity vector of (10, 15) that bounces off edges. Paddle not yet implemented.
Implement paddle collision to bounce the ball and increment points when it hits the paddle; reset the ball and points when it misses, while reducing logging to improve frame rate.
Build an Android conversion app using SQLite database, a conversion db, and a cursor adapter. Display conversions in the main activity and add new ones via the options menu.
Implement an on item click listener to launch a conversion activity with data via a bundle, then input a value and multiply by the factor to get the result.
This course teaches Android development by example, beginning with very simple applications using only activities, then gradually adding layers of complexity.
Each app in the course is a guided tour of the development process, starting with the basic layouts and finishing up with a working app that you can modify and use as a starting point to develop your own ideas.
Android takes a different approach that app development for other platforms: an Android app is really a loose collection of components that communicate amongst themselves and even with components from other applications.
In this series, you'll gain insight by watching over Rick's shoulder as he brings separate components together and assembles them into ten different applications that explore the Android system and how to apply it to real-world problems.
Source code is included, and you may feel free to modify it in any way and use it in your own applications!
Some of the 10 App Projects you will take on are -
- A note taker application
- A single player version of “Pong" :)
- A simple adventure game
- A couple of different types of calculator
- A conversion utility that allows the user to save their own conversions
- And, another 5 more exciting apps that will be announced and released every week.
Along the way, we'll make use of Android components such as Activities and Services, and learn best practices and strategies for building successful applications. So click that button, and let's get started!
