Tip Calculator review #1

Open mttlee0 opened 11 years ago

mttlee0 commented 11 years ago

TIp calculator is finished. I slightly deviated from the project, I used radio buttons instead of buttons to select the tip amount. This leads to a better user experience because

  1. Better clarity on what tip % is currently used.
  2. Decreased friction: a default tip amount is selected
  3. Enables real-time updating of tip amount: the tip amount is updated as the user types into the EditText field, instead of the tip only being updated upon the tip button being hit.

Let me know if you have any questions and if this is fine.

PS - I simply copied the contents of the folder created by Eclipse into the Git repo and added everything. Is that the right protocol for submission?

Yeah that's great we encourage you to make the project your own, improve the UI / UX whenever you can. Really like the improvements you made. A few other thoughts:

Let us know if you have any other questions. Next week the project will ramp up building on the concepts here but incorporating JSON API, image handling, and other new concepts as well. See you tomorrow.
