[Android Bootcamp] Project 0: Review my todo app #5

Open urspralini opened 8 years ago

urspralini commented 8 years ago

Todo app is complete with optional sections:

  1. Used ActiveAndroid to store todo items in SQLlite.
  2. Used custom adapter and implemented view holder to customize the view. (right now, it is only a text view). Please review /cc @codepathreview @codepath

Prabhu,

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? Look forward to chatting soon!

Hi Nathan (@nesquena),

Good afternoon. Yes, I'm currently working on the view customization with more fields like date-picker, status and priority drop downs. I'm very much interested in participating in code path program and learning Android programming. I have scheduled the phone call conversation for 6/23(Thursday) at 11.15 am. I would like to know what I should be expecting in that phone conversation. It would be helpful if I should do any preparation before that.

Thanks, Prabhu

Sorry for the delay here. We will be discussing your goals for the course, the course expectations and I'll answer any questions you have about the course. If you have time before our interview tomorrow can you take a little 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 with you conceptually in the phone call. We encourage you to search our guides as well as any other sources. If not, no worries.

urspralini commented 8 years ago

Thanks @nesquena for the detailed reply. I'll learn about Activity life cycle methods and ArrayAdapter before our call. Our call is scheduled for next Thursday(6/23) at 11.15am.

nesquena commented 8 years ago

Great, I'll chat with you then!

Great, 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.

Great, great job with the pre-work. Hope you feel you were able to learn a lot working through these optionals.

urspralini commented 8 years ago

Yes @nesquena. I feel comfortable using the "active android" library now. I also learnt about passing values between activities and dialog fragment from the first project. I still need to get better with UI design: views, layouts, positioning, margin, padding, custom shapes etc. :). Looking forward for the results soon.
