• Tuesday:
  
  Slideshow: Introducing a second activity into an Android app
  
  Slideshow: Uses a ImageView widget, moves to a second activity after a time interval -- uses Thread and sleep, uses a variation on the code above to move to a new activity (Splash.zip)
  
  Bridget Riley Android App: demoes Spinners and ArrayAdapters, also changes the image resource of an ImageView (i.e. changes the picture)
  
  The Scream Demo App: variation on above but defines string array in res/value/strings.xml instead of declaring a String array in the .java file
  
  Create an app with three activities. The first activity that the user sees has a spinner and a button. The user uses the spinner to choose which of the the other two activities to proceed to when the user clicks the button. (I used the spinner's .getSelectedItemId() method which returned a long.)
