00:00:00,470 --> 00:00:05,260
For the rest of these videos, I will be
showing how I chose to solve the problem.

2
00:00:05,260 --> 00:00:07,410
There are lots of ways to write an app.

3
00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:10,370
And as long as the app works,
you shouldn't be too concerned with how

4
00:00:10,370 --> 00:00:12,920
you got it to work,
at least while you're still learning.

5
00:00:14,170 --> 00:00:16,990
That said, I'm going to jump right in and
get started.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:25,860
I am going to call
the app Golf Score Card,

7
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:31,650
and hit next, next,
empty activity, next and finish.

8
00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:36,740
Knowing that this activity is mostly
just a big list, I am going to start

9
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:42,130
by extending list activity, remember when

10
00:00:42,130 --> 00:00:46,960
we're extending list activity, our main
layout is a list view with a special ID.

11
00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:52,600
Let's go ahead, and make some changes
to activity main to make that the case.

12
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,846
I'm going to get rid of the text view.

13
00:01:00,122 --> 00:01:01,404
And drag in a list view.

14
00:01:11,021 --> 00:01:15,262
Then, I'm going to give
it the ID of @android.

15
00:01:15,262 --> 00:01:17,820
ID forward slash list.

16
00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:21,670
Looks good.

17
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:27,065
Now, that I've got my activity main.xml
all sorted out, I'm going to create a list

18
00:01:27,065 --> 00:01:33,290
item.xml, which will be the xml file
describing each row of the list view.

19
00:01:41,230 --> 00:01:44,648
The first thing I'm gonna do is
change the orientation to horizontal.

20
00:01:48,122 --> 00:01:52,932
And let's go ahead, and import the tools
name space as well by typing tools, and

21
00:01:52,932 --> 00:01:53,790
hitting tab.

22
00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:56,000
Alright.

23
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:02,290
From the mock ups,
I know that the left most column

24
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:05,800
is going to be a text view
representing the label of the hole.

25
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,310
Which in this case is hole one,
hole two, hole three and so on.

26
00:02:10,670 --> 00:02:13,690
Next to that is another text view
that represents the score for

27
00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:14,650
that particular hole.

28
00:02:17,060 --> 00:02:22,500
Next to that is a button that
will remove a stroke, and

29
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:24,000
then, another button
that will add a stroke.

30
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:31,200
I'm going to use the lay out width and
lay out wait components to make

31
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,990
each of these fit on the screen
just a little better.

32
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:42,384
I am going to set the layout
width to zero dp as that

33
00:02:42,384 --> 00:02:47,356
allows us to use
the layout_width attribute.

34
00:02:54,501 --> 00:02:55,972
Layout_weight attribute.

35
00:02:57,310 --> 00:03:01,181
And I'm going to set the weight of the
first TextView, which is the label, to 3.

36
00:03:06,028 --> 00:03:10,196
The weight of the second TextView,
which is the score, or

37
00:03:10,196 --> 00:03:14,460
strokes taken, to 2, and
the weight of the buttons to 1.

38
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:16,504
And then, let's see how that looks.

39
00:03:21,065 --> 00:03:24,518
That looks pretty good, but
there's a lot of text on that button,

40
00:03:24,518 --> 00:03:25,760
a lot more than we need.

41
00:03:27,810 --> 00:03:30,785
Probably, pretty safe just
using a plus and a minus sign.

42
00:03:36,402 --> 00:03:39,515
And while we're in the text side
of things, let's go ahead and

43
00:03:39,515 --> 00:03:41,290
update these IDs.

44
00:03:41,290 --> 00:03:45,430
The first ID should be set to hole label.

45
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:50,997
And I'm gonna call
the second one stroke count.

46
00:03:54,806 --> 00:04:01,080
This first button,
I'm going to call remove stroke button.

47
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,225
On the second button,
I'm going to call addStrokeButton.

48
00:04:05,225 --> 00:04:06,627
Alright.

49
00:04:08,827 --> 00:04:13,629
Now, the layout dimensions look okay,
but the text is a little small, so

50
00:04:13,629 --> 00:04:15,261
I'm gonna change that.

51
00:04:23,692 --> 00:04:27,330
And it's going to recommend
that I use SP instead of DP.

52
00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:27,860
So, we'll do that.

53
00:04:30,790 --> 00:04:33,990
And I'm just gonna copy this, and
make everything have the same text size.

54
00:04:41,303 --> 00:04:42,670
Alright.

55
00:04:42,670 --> 00:04:47,390
One last step that i'm gonna do is change
these text to something more meaningful.

56
00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:51,750
We'll change this one to be whole one.

57
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,150
And this one to be zero.

58
00:04:59,180 --> 00:05:02,210
And then, i'm going to change
the name spaces for these two tools.

59
00:05:03,460 --> 00:05:05,970
I don't want these to
actually show up in the app.

60
00:05:07,170 --> 00:05:10,110
I'm just setting them to this, so
I can look them in the design tab.

61
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:13,590
And that's what the tools
name space is for.

62
00:05:16,330 --> 00:05:19,060
Alright we've created both of our layouts.
