Steve,
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 extension tasks already as well. The extension tasks available on each project are often the most valuable learnings since they dive deeper into common real-world Android use cases.
The next step is to continue working on extensions to your todo app and to schedule a short 10 minute phone conversation with us. Navigate to today's date and onward from there and choose an available 15-minute slot in the mornings or evenings. Let us know if none of those times work.
Once you select a slot, can you make sure to include the best number to reach you at in the invite?
Prior to the interview, 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.
Look forward to chatting soon!

I've commited the latest changes to use fragment and added priority/date via a spinner and datepicker respectively. I'm currently having issues with editing the style of the spinner, so it currently appears black/black. I'll be fixing that style issue as well as adding in some custom styles for the list view so I can add a "completed" flag via a check box in the list itself.
Good chatting with you earlier this week Steve. Thanks for the update and glad to see you got a number of optionals implemented. We will be determining final admittance into the program over the next couple weeks. For those not admitted as participants, we will offer access to applicants as a remote observer cohort that has access to the materials and is able to work on the projects at their own pace. You will be hearing from us again soon.
My App is complete with the most basic functionality. Please review. /cc @codepathreview @codepath
Please note that I will be adding other features in the coming weeks, starting with fragment functionality. As many pieces would have to be rewritten for the fragment, I did not pursue other pieces like the date and priority pieces (although I added some foundation for them in the SQL).
A lot of thoughts and thinking processes are left in comments around the code as well.
