Thursday:
Presentation: Intro to ConstraintLayout (You might also watch Android Studio 2.2 Constraint
Layouts For Beginners)
Greeting_Kotlin.zip demos EditText, Button, TextView. Shows varying amount of
"explicitness" Kotlin allows when establishing an "on click listener" and its associated "on click" method. Also
includes an EditText event handler, changes View colors, as well as enables/disables Views (Buttons).
Adding Log and Toast to the Hello World program
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
// Log -- like a console message -- can be used to debug
Log.d("HELLO_TAG", "The Hello World App started.")
// Toast -- message briefly shown to the user
Toast.makeText(this, "Hello Toast", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}
Lab 2: Design an app that prompts the user with three security questions (such as "What was your first pet's name?"). This part
should have three TextView's and three EditText's. Have two Buttons (Enter and Clear) and another TextView for the result. The Enter
Button when clicked should collect the three user answers and concatenate them with some delimiter of your choice and set the text of the
result TextView. Furthermore use Log and Toast to display the result. If the clear Button is clicked, empty out the result TextView. If
the user changes any question answer, you should also clear out the result TextView.
