Introducing the Project

1:24 with Ben Deitch

Practicing what you've learned is perhaps the best way to improve your skills. In this video I introduce a project that will give you a chance to show off what you've learned.

Congratulations on making it through another Android course at Treehouse. 0:04
You've learned a ton about Android and 0:08
it's time that we put your Android knowledge to the test. 0:10
In this video, I'll present a mock up for an app and 0:14
describe how it should work, then you'll get the chance to make it. 0:17
In the rest of the videos, 0:22
I will be demonstrating how I choose to make the app. 0:23
If you ever get stuck, feel free to come back and see how I did it. 0:27
We're going to be making a scorecard, more specifically, a golf scorecard. 0:31
On our golf scorecard, we want a list of all 18 holes, and 0:36
we want each hole to have an easy way for us to add or subtract strokes taken, so 0:40
we can keep track of our score. 0:45
We'd also like for the scorecard to remember our scores. 0:47
It shouldn't delete any scores unless we hit the clear strokes button, 0:50
which should reset all the stroke counts to zero. 0:55
Here's a rough mock up of what it should look like and 0:58
what it should look like when you click the menu button. 1:01
All right, let's see what you can do. 1:05
Again, don't hesitate to come see how I did it. 1:07
You may find a few tricky parts. 1:11
You may also want to revisit our course on lists and adapters for 1:13
help with the list of scores. 1:16
Once you finish, if you want some more projects to practice with, 1:19
check the teacher's notes for some additional ideas. 1:22
