Try the Templates!
Create a sample project using each template available in Eclipse. Try them out and see if you can customize labels, sample data, etc.
List Item Customization
The detail items in the Master-Detail template are configured using the fragment_post_detail.xml file. Add another TextView to this file that displays mItem.content in addition to mItem.description. Hint: You'll need to add another line similar to the existing one inside the onCreateView() method in BlogPostDetailFragment.java.
