Week 1 - Layout and Build a Task Manager App

This is our task manager set of classes we're gonna be going through and building out functionality week by week, Um, to make kind of, ah, nice little task management application for Android. And, um, what we're gonna be doing today is we'll be running into a new layout last week. If you're attended the overview session. You saw a AM a basic linear layout, and we're gonna look at a new layout called relative today. And, um, we're gonna respond to some or some different kinds of user events like typing, and we're gonna talk about the application class, which sort of sits above all the activities that air kind of loosely coupled, loosely bundled together in your application that you build and then learn one or two more eclipse re factoring skills. So this first generation we're going to during this class, um, go through a couple different new new ah sort of characters is what I'm calling them. One of them is the application. Now, like I said, ah, that kind of sits above all the other act...

ivities, so each each screen is sort of controlled by an activity. But to tie them all together, you have a concept of an application, and you can extend the Java class there to get access Teoh some different lifecycle methods on that application. So, like when your application starts when your application is, ah, about to finish and a few of the things there and the relatively out that we're gonna be introduced to today is probably. Once you understand it, you're gonna probably prefer this layout to a lot of other layouts because you'll, uh, you'll get a lot more power over the positioning of your of the elements on the screen. And ah, they were all so gonna show an alert dialogue which helps you kind of make make the user step through a couple different options at some point during the process of their workflow. And, ah, we're going to talk about the, ah, the facility that eclipse gives you for re factoring. Uh, which means kind of the definition of re factoring is changing the behavior, changing, changing the code that does something, um, in your whatever application you're working on without changing the behavior. So the user and other classes that may use the interface whatever they interface and sort of a generic way is does not change, but the underlying code does and Eclipse can help you kind of move things around and do some do some changes to your job of code, which is pretty helpful during the re factoring process. So now let's go through some some user stories and what I mean by user stories are sort of what user of your expert of your application is expected to to sort of want to accomplish. So, um, that, in this case for this very simple first iteration of this task manager is say, I'm a user of your your task manager application that you've just uploaded to the marketplace. Um well, Teoh, as a user of ah, of a task management application in general, I want to view a list of my tasks. I want to be able to add new tasks to do, and I want Teoh. I want to be protected from anything. Um, like, say I want to cancel out of adding a task. I want to make sure that that that task is going to be discarded not added to the list on gonna be prompted in case I I back out of that screen. If I enter some information, so just start sort of basic form, protection workflow stuff. So we're gonna add all of that stuff today.
