CSC 349: The Week beginning Feb. 3

• Homework:
  
  Read and summarize the following articles
  
  Ajit Pai: Carrier sales of phone-location data is illegal, FCC plans punishment
  
  Ajit Pai's "surprise" change makes it harder to get FCC broadband funding
  
  First Roll of Yahtzee
  Have an app with 5 ImageViews and a Button. When the user clicks the button, your app should simulate the rolling of five dice (select an array of five random integers in the range 1 to 6 (inclusive). It should display the corresponding images. You can use Dice.zip or find images you like better. Your designs should look roughly like the image below from cardgames.io/yahtzee (just the dice and the roll button). Your code should loop over either your array of 5 random numbers or your set of ImageViews; it should not just repeat essentially the same code five times. Also you should use one random-number generator several times -- rather than having several random-number generators.

• Monday:
  
  SeeJackWrite_kotlin.zip Uses Random and demos a ScrollView
  
  ReadRaw_f19.zip Reads a simple text file from a "raw" resource. Setting up the raw resource is found in ReadRaw_f19.ppt
  
  ReadRandomRaw_kotlin.zip Reads a file chosen at random.
  
  ReadRandomDawDada_kotlin.zip Split the sonnet into individual words. Rearrange the words at random -- making a Dada poem out of a Shakespearean Sonnet.
  
  Lab 6. Song Lyrics
  
  
  • Have two parallel arrays of song titles and artist names (and possibly a third array with song lyrics filenames).
  • This time use Java code arrays and not xml string-value arrays.
  • Have a bunch of text files (at least 4) with lyrics in a res/raw folder.
  • Have the song titles loaded into a spinner.
  • When the user changes the spinner item, display the corresponding artist's name and the lyrics of that song read from the text file.
  
  Due: Feb. 10
  
  
• Wednesday:
  
  ReadFileLineByLine.zip Turns the InputStream into a BufferedReader so that the file can be read line by line.
  
  ReadLinesList.zip Use BufferedReader's readLines() method to make a List of strings (the lines of the text file). Use that to populate a spinner.
  
  GoneToTheDogs.zip Creates a Dog class and places data from file into an arraylist of Dog objects.
  
  Lab 7. Make your own revisited. Create a text file for the data you used in "your own lab" (or you can change your topic if you want). Create a class for your data. Read the file, make an arraylist of objects. As before have a Spinner, ImageView and some TextViews to display the corresponding information for the item selected by the user via the spinner.
