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.
This may seem like a lot, but the best way to learn Android is with practice. Don't miss out on a learning opportunity by going straight to watching how I did it. But if you do get stuck or your starting to feel frustrated, please watch how I did it or download my project from Downloads.
Project Specs - Golf Scorecard
- There should be a list of 18 Holes
- There should be an easy way to add/subtract strokes to each hole
- It should remember the scores we set (even if we close the app)
- It should contain a 'Clear Strokes' button which will reset all stroke counts to 0

Additional Ideas
- Create a note taking app
- Create a calculator app
- Create a sudoku app

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.

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.
