Submission

[aphexcx]

I've just finished the rest of the optional stories, so my app is ready for review. I might commit some more extra minor interface beautifications later, but here's the official submission of all stories at the 10PM required time.

Primary user stories took me 2-3 hours to complete, and the optional ones took another 4-5 hours including skinning the app and finding out how to use custom fonts and such.

:+1: nice work Afik! A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good layout, proper view naming, usage of sp/dp, margin and relative placement rules
• Use string resources for your text labels whenever possible as a best practice
• Interesting use of ListPopupWindow for displaying tip options
• Nice use of custom font typefaces
• Consider using the currency NumberFormat to display currency value
• Good to see you added the addTextChangedListener for auto-updating
• See feedback guide for tips on organizing your code and style standards

One of the most important part of these projects is that you add additional features and tweak the UI / UX because that will provide many more learning opportunities. I'm glad you have started that early and I would encourage you to push the projects each week, continue adding your own UI elements and experimenting with optional features that improve the user experience.

We have provided a detailed Project 1 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common points we see for this project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine other ways you could improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing applicable feedback as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of Android development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.

Hopefully this has given you a better sense of working with views and the RelativeLayout which is a very powerful layout system, probably one of the best responsive-first layout systems available across web and mobile platforms. The next assignment will build on top of the first concepts introduced here and will also introduce networking, api use, handling remote images and navigating between activities.

If you have any particular questions about the assignment in general or on any of the feedback, feel free to reply here or post on the discussion forum on Canvas.

P.S. Be sure to review submitting assignments and for each project please continue to include info like how long the project took, which optional user stories you completed, and any questions you have. Also consider adding a readme with features and screenshots to each project.

Thanks Nathan! Amazed at the super fast review. Cheers for the detailed feedback, I implemented all the changes suggested here and in the guide, and threw in an app icon. It's all in the latest commit.
