As part of your pre-work submission, please reflect on the app and answer the following questions below:
Question 1: "What are your reactions to the Android app development platform so far? Compare and contrast Android's approach to layouts and user interfaces in past platforms you've used."
Answer: In the 8 hours of Android app developement that I spent, I find that the platofrm is logical and well architectured. Yes, there are a lot of concepts to undertsand but when one starts getting a hang of how these concepts are integrated, it is easier to visualize and code the flow. I do not have any prior mobile app development experience and hence cannot compare the platform with any other.
Question 2: "Take a moment to reflect on the ArrayAdapter
used in your pre-work. How would you describe an adapter in this context and what is its function in Android? Why do you think the adapter is important? Explain the purpose of the convertView
in the getView
method of the ArrayAdapter
."
Answer: To enable any user interaction, there are 2 key components.They are :
convertview indicates if an unused view can be used for rendering the current view or, if there is none of the type required, a new ones needs to be created
Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
