Submitted by: David Penaskovic

Time spent: 5 hours

User Stories

The following required functionality is completed:

• User can successfully add and remove items from the todo list
• User can tap a todo item in the list and bring up an edit screen for the todo item and then have any changes to the text reflected in the todo list.
• User can persist todo items and retrieve them properly on app restart

The following optional features are implemented:

• Improve style of the todo items in the list using a custom adapter
• Add support for completion due dates for todo items (and display within listview item)
• Use a DialogFragment instead of new Activity for editing items
• Add support for selecting the priority of each todo item (and display in listview item)
• Tweak the style improving the UI / UX, play with colors, images or backgrounds

Project Feedback!

Hello David,

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.

The next step is to continue working on extensions to your todo app. With regards to extensions to implement, we are looking for developers with an interest in user experience and product development so be sure to focus on additional functional enhancements and/or improving the user interface of the app. 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.
