CS 145 Lecture 35 – Android Demo

November 30, 2015 by Chris Johnson. Filed under cs145, fall 2015, lectures.

Agenda

• what ?s
• Android app structure
• declarative layout
• custom views
• handling touch events

Note

Today we create an Android application! We’ll incorporate many of the subjects we’ve been discussing, with loops, 2D arrays, and objects. We’ll also slog through what you’re likely to encounter in many modern software projects: an extensive standard library at your disposal. Such libraries are very helpful but can be intimidating when you first meet them.
