Hello Radhika, Looks good, this exercise is 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 learn the practical elements of Android development and best practices as quickly as possible. We also do a code review for each submitted project once the program begins.

Great to see you were able to complete some extensions to your app already. The extension tasks available on each project are often the most valuable learnings since they dive deeper into common real-world Android use cases. We encourage you to continue working on extensions to your todo app as a way to further explore Android development.

See you can expand the functionality of the app or instead work to improve the user interface by experimenting with colors, spacing, styling, icons, etc. Be sure to take a look through our organizing your source files guide for additional tips on structure as well. You can re-submit on the application dashboard anytime and we'll take another look.

We'll be following up with you again shortly to outline the next steps in the admissions process.

Great to see you were able to complete a large number of extensions to your app already. Your project looks great. As you can probably tell, the extension tasks available on each project are the valuable learnings since they dive deeper into common real-world Android use cases.

Be sure to take a look through our organizing your source files guide for tips on organizing your code as well.

Now that you've completed the pre-work, we'll be following up with you again shortly to outline the next steps in the admissions process.

Hi Radhika,

Great job on your initial pre-work, really glad to see you've already tackled many app extensions at this time. These UI enhancements or feature additions are often where the most important learning happens in the course.

The next step is to schedule a short 15-minute phone conversation with us here. Find a date that works for you and confirm a 15-minute slot. Let us know if none of those times work. You can read more about how to prepare for the phone conversation here.

Prior to our chat, can you take some time to research the most common Android Activity lifecycle methods as well as the ArrayAdapter pattern used when working with lists? We will be discussing these topics with you conceptually in the phone call. We encourage you to search our guides as well as any other sources you'd like.

Once you select a slot, you'll be sent a calendar invite with the phone number to call. Look forward to chatting soon!
