This is my Todo app for the SF Android Bootcamp @nesquena & @timothy1ee

Hey Marc,

Project looks great! Impressed to see you adding SQLite persistence, custom adapter and todo item model. Do you have much prior Android experience?

This was intended in part to give you an introduction to the general rhythm of this course. The course is entirely project based with an app being assigned each week and then due the following week. Each project builds on the last to help each engineer to learn all practical Android development and best practices as quickly as possible. We also do a code review for each submitted project.

The next step is to schedule a short 10 minute phone conversation here. Navigate to 19th-22nd and choose a slot. Let us know if none of those times work.

Once you select a slot, can you edit it with the best number to reach you at? Look forward to chatting!

Hey @nesquena,

I scheduled for today at 7:45pm! Looking forward to talking to you!

I don't really have much experience with Android. At my company we have an Android app but is just a web wrapper and we intercept some of the request to handle them natively on the Android side, that is all. In the near future we will have to implement a native app and I think that this course would be a great way to start learning.

I wanted to add some attributes to the todo item than just a string. Then I realized that the simple reading/writing from a file was not going to do it so I implemented a SQLite persistent storage. Seemed a little messy so I can't wait to learn how to do it properly if I get selected!

I'll talk to you later!

@nesquena - I solved some of the issues that really bothered me and added a README file. Can you please review?

Thanks! Let me know what do you think and what are the possible next steps.

Great Marc! Since we've already spoken and you've re-submitted with the README correctly added now, I'll be sending some next steps tomorrow. But at this point, you will be a part of our next bootcamp as long as you can make all the sessions (1 excused absence) and can commit to submitting weekly projects on time. Will send an official message tomorrow.
