My app is done! Please check it out /cc @codepathreview @codepath

I have a few questions about intents and passing data between activities. Looking forward to chatting.

Nathan,

Looks good, this exercise is intended in part to give you an introduction to the general rhythm of this course. The course is entirely project-based with an app being assigned each week and then due the following week. Each project builds on the last to help each engineer learn the practical elements of Android development and best practices as quickly as possible. We also do a code review for each submitted project once the program begins.

Great to see you were able to complete some extension tasks already as well. The extension tasks available on each project are often the most valuable learnings since they dive deeper into common real-world Android use cases.

The next step is to continue working on extensions to your todo app and to schedule a short 10 minute phone conversation with us. Navigate to today's date and onward from there and choose an available 15-minute slot in the mornings or evenings. Let us know if none of those times work.

Once you select a slot, can you make sure to include the best number to reach you at in the invite? Look forward to chatting soon!

Hey Nathan,

It was great chatting with you on Thursday, it definitely solidified my desire to be a part of codepath. I wanted to share a few cool changes that I made to my app. When you click on one of the cats it brings up a cat detail page which now also shows a cat profile picture (New functionality is visible in my GIF). I used the Flickr api, to request a series of urls and then request an image from these urls. I am learning a ton about working with Android as well as Java from this project.

Big thanks for your consideration, Nathan

Nice job on the pre-work! Great to see you were able to augment your app with a few extension tasks now. As mentioned earlier, the extension tasks available on each project are often the most valuable learnings since they dive deeper into common real-world Android use cases.

We'll be in touch with you again soon via email. Let me know if you have any questions about the project or anything in the meantime.

Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and added support for todo item priority. I called it cat mood. It was definitely a fun task, I'm sure there many ways to skin that cat. I went with the seekbar. For next steps, I will probably do some code clean and up and tweak my UI. Take a look at my updated GIF when you get a chance.

Take care and thanks again!
