My app is complete, please review. I got a side question here: While the "child activity" was started after its parent activity called "StartActivityForResult()", would it be discarded in RAM when return back to its parent activity with calling "Finish()"? /cc @codepathreview @codepath

What's your name so I can match you to an application?

While the "child activity" was started after its parent activity called "StartActivityForResult()", would it be discarded in RAM when return back to its parent activity with calling "Finish()"?

You should assume it may be removed from memory and in older phones or phones with very low resources it may be discarded in RAM. However, on a modern phone with lots of RAM, it's often going to be kept in memory. Nonetheless, it's a good idea in production apps to assume it may be discarded anytime an activity leaves the screen. You can force this behavior for more reliable testing with the dev tools on the phone.

Thanks for helping me match. Looking over your past experience, and our eligibility requirements, your LinkedIn seems to detail about 16 months of professional software development experience but with the majority of that in QA. We get hundreds of free applications each cohort, and we tend to select for senior engineers with a bit more sustained professional programming experience and those currently employed as a software engineer. You might want to take a look at this answer since given your current situation, you would be unlikely to be accepted into the formal bootcamp. Hope you understand.

Hi, Nathan,

I identify myself as a developer more than a QA because I do development since day on I entering my major. I did processor design back into my college. And I am currently doing web development for a restaurant and a management tool for a Buddhist temple. I even do some java development in my current QA job too. I don't blame you if you say that I have to be a current full time developer to be qualified for this class. But I don't agree with you if you saying my qualification is not matched. I petty sure that I have more that what it require for this class and I may have more qualifications than the other candidates too. I am currently open my own startup and developed my idea. I just found this class may help me on the mobile application side. I will keep work on the extra part of this todo app and make it way better than what you guys required to prove that I am over-qualified for this class! Thanks for your dedicated reply.

Regards,

Jia Quan Chen

I understand your response. Just explaining that we get so many applications we have to necessarily filter by certain criteria. Hope you can understand. That said if you submit a substantially improved todo app with many optionals then we may reconsider. If not I'm happy to add you as a remote observer with access to the weekly materials and assignments that you can access self-paced from home.

OK, I will try my best. Thanks for your response.
