As a user, I can use the Android back button, while looking at a specific shelf, to return to the general list of shelves.

We need a well-written Readme for our project. LaunchCode recommended this link for knowing how to set up a really nice one.

Found a google doc about it.

ListView seems to require an intermediate object called an Adapter that handles how it talks to the dataset. This has been listed as a separate issue in the interest of breaking up stories into smaller requirements.

As a User, I can create a new collection, so that books/items have something to go into.

look into internal storage and database options.

As a user, I can record purchase information (such as when and how much), so that I can report business expenses.

This will eventually be what the RecyclerViewAdapter handles and displays. Books need, at minimum, a title String and a String for ISBN.

As a User, I can add a new item/book to a collection, so that I can begin to build up my library.

As a user, I can verify if I already have a book by entering its ISBN or scanning its barcode, so that I don't have to scroll through my library by hand to see if I already own a book I'm looking at.

Adam gets credit for realizing the need for this feature. Good catch!

Stack Overflow discussion of ISBN services.

Some services seem to have daily limits on how many lookups your app can do, so that's something to consider. We also want to find something easy to set up at least initially.

Google makes available their library of Material style icons at this website: https://material.io/icons/

I've already identified add, dialpad and viewWeekBy as possibilities for our "add new book", "enter ISBN by typing" and "enter isbn by scanning barcode" buttons, respectively. (viewWeekBy was the closest I could find to a vertical barcode.)

As a user, I can scan a barcode to enter an item, so that adding new items goes faster and easier.

When a user clicks the Floating Action Button while on the collections screen, it opens this dialog fragment that prompts them to name a new collection.

As a User, I can move items from one collection to another, so that I can reorganize.

(:

As a user, I can tap the name of a collection in the collection view and it displays the books in that collection, so that I can view a collection's book list.

As a User, I can remove a book from a collection, so that I can correct mistakenly added books or show lost books.

Android Studio can make working with GitHub much simpler. In this workshop we'll go over sending our own project to GitHub, pulling a project from GitHub, and making contributions to an existing project.

As a user, I can view my collection, so that I don't rebuy books.

As a user, I can index my items by user-created tags, so for example, I can find all my virology texts easily.

When a user creates a new Shelf or Book, the RecyclerView needs to update and show this.

Mark has been assigned to look into what the best UI element is to display and interact with the books in the collection.

When the user taps the button to add a new book, a dialog box-style fragment shows up with two buttons, type or scan.

We'll have to make or find images to put on the buttons later on.

This workshop will walk through what dependencies are, why you want them, how to use them, and finally how to manage them with gradle.

Create a db diagram for class discussion on Thursday. Also, possible a template for adding new columns from discussion.
