Submitted by: Leonardy Kristianto
Time spent: >21 hours spent in total (development + design)
User Stories
The following required functionality is completed:
- [x] User can successfully add and remove items from the todo list
- [x] User can tap a todo item in the list and bring up an edit screen for the todo item and then have any changes to the text reflected in the todo list.
- [x] User can persist todo items and retrieve them properly on app restart
The following optional features are implemented:
- [x] Persist the todo items into SQLite instead of a text file (Sugar ORM)
- [x] Improve style of the todo items in the list using a custom adapter
- [x] Add support for completion due dates for todo items
- [x] Use a DialogFragment instead of new Activity for editing items (material-dialog)
- [x] Add support for selecting the priority of each todo item (and display in listview item)
- [x] Tweak the style improving the UI / UX, play with colors, images or backgrounds
The following additional features are implemented:
- [ ] Sync with Firebase to establish user accounts

Notes
Challenges:
- For the dropdown icons, I wanted to use Expandable List at first but after researching it for a while I felt that extending/implementing it is an overkill since I only needed the sub-item to be fixed icons. I have to configure the visibility options myself.
- After realizing that ActiveAndroid is no longer maintained (Oct 2014) and facing number of issues that comes up while configuring it, I searched for another ORM and found Sugar to be really easy to use (although it has conflicting documentations since 1.3/1.4 was obsolete after 1.5 update rolled out)
