[Android Bootcamp] Tip Calculator - Review my app

[slavkoder]

Please, review my app. It has 2 commits, the latest one has one of the optional requirements implemented. I also have couple of questions regarding coding conventions, but I'll focus on surveys right now and ask them tomorrow in person.

Thanks again for your time, I really appreciate and admire what you're doing.

Slava, :+1: excellent work. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Nice to see you properly setting up onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState
• Handled the button click events properly using onclick flag and then differentiating based on the button id
• Good to see you added the addTextChangedListener for auto-updating
• Nice use of a RadioGroup instead of buttons to improve UI

One of the most important part of these projects is that you add additional features and tweak the UI / UX because that will provide many more learning opportunities. I'm glad you have started that early and I would encourage you to push the projects each week, continue adding your own UI elements and experimenting with optional features that improve the user experience.

We have provided a detailed Project 1 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common points we see for this project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine other ways you could improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing applicable feedback as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of Android development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.

Hopefully this has given you a first sense of the RelativeLayout which is a very powerful layout system, probably one of the best responsive-first layout systems available across web and mobile platforms. The next assignment will build on top of the first concepts introduced here and will also introduce networking, api use, handling remote images and navigating between activities.

If you have any particular questions about the assignment in general or on any of the feedback, feel free to reply here or post on the discussion forum on Canvas.

OK sounds good, happy to answer them tomorrow

Thanks again for your time, I really appreciate and admire what you're doing.

Glad you are enjoying it so far. Hope to have you be able to help out in future bootcamp cohorts.
