My App Portfolio is an Android app designed to hold and display other Android apps.
Or, it will be that. With no previous experience with Android development, I completed this as the first project for a course on Udacity.
- Tested on an emulated version of a Nexus 4 running IceCreamSandwich (Android 4.0.3).
- minSdkVersion value is set to 15 so the app can run on most Android devices (96%) while retaining most of the newest features of Android 4.X.
Opens to an aestheically pleasing app portfolio homepage with several buttons for proposed projects.
The buttons display a message when clicked.
- Make color values reusable by putting them into res/values/colors.xml.
- Make your string values reusable by putting them into res/values/strings.xml.
- Give buttons better IDs (e.g., "capStoneButton" instead of "button5").
- Define a general Button style and set all general attributes in one style definition saved in res/values/styles.xml.
- Embed widgets within a ScrollView to allow users to scroll while in landscape.
