I added the edit feature. Great tutorial, somehow managed just enough hand-holding to where I still feel like I figured some of it out on my own.

Thanks for the opportunity to take your course!

Doug, looks great, hopefully this gives you a flavor for Android development! Glad you were able to complete the project and that you enjoyed the tutorial. Look forward to meeting you this week. Let me know if you had any particular questions about this first project!

Thanks! I actually had one question about the first Activity layout--when I write a new item on the app on my Android phone, the "Add" button is not visible until I click the back arrow out of the text input area. It would be more usable if I could go directly from input -> click add. It's because the keyboard input method hides the add button, any workaround?

Great question, one that comes up once you try the app on a phone but not in the emulator. The UI as specified in the wireframe is somewhat poor for exactly the reason you described. There are many ways to fix this issue including changing the way the keyboard shifts the view, changing the way items are added or just removing the "Add" button altogether and using a done button on the keyboard instead. We will definitely be covering this in much more detail once the bootcamp begins but good to see you identified the issue.
