V1.0 --My first android app developed for CodePath assignment V1.1 --added DialogFragment usage on 4/13/2015

This is a demo application for adding, deleting, updating and displaying Todo items using SQLite and File persistence minSDKVersion: API 16 Demo GIFs are included for both SQLite and File persistence Time spent: 50 hours spent in total

Completed user stories:

1) Required: User can view a list of Todo items
2) Required: User can add an item
3) Required: User can edit an item by clicking it. Edited item on edit screen can be updated
4) Required: User can remove an item by long clicking it.

5) Optional: Developed the app in two versions using File persistence and SQLite database persistence
6) Optional: Used custom adapters for displaying list items (star image is shown along with each list item)
7) Optional: CodePath image is used on Main Todo screen
8) Optional: Validations if user tries to add empty item or update an item with empty value
9) Optional: For user notifications used Alert Dialog (Edit item screen) and several Toast messages (Main screen)
10) Optional: At the time of app launch, 'crowd cheer' audio (Media Player) plays - Enjoy the applause..!! :)
11) Optional: Implemented plain vanilla DialogFragment functionality for editing item

Notes:

1) Though I have 11 years of experience in IT industry, mainly in back-end development, brand new to android development.
2) With pure passion to get short-listed and learn from expert instructors, researched and developed this app.
3) Tried my best to devote time for this, though busy with my 5 months baby and office work.
4) I came to know through a friend about this bootcamp only couple of weeks ago. If I had known it bit earlier and have more free time.. would have completed other suggested improvements as well

Technical: 1) Used Singleton (SQLite: single db instance) and Data Access Object design patterns
2) Used Enterprise application folder structure
3) Heavily documented and logged(using android.util.Log)
4) SQLite vs File: In AndroidManifest.xml please use below activities for SQLite vs File persistence

SQLite:
Main activity name: .activity.TodoUsingSQLiteActivity
database name: items.db

File:
Main activity name: activity.TodoUsingSQLiteActivity
file name: todo.txt
SQLite and DialogFragment:
Main activity name: .activity.TodoUsingDialogctivity
database name: items.db
