Looking Forward

Capstone Component

Start thinking about an idea for an app you might like to build. Have you ever wished there was an application that does something, but couldn’t find one? Maybe there’s an application that you use but wish it had a better user experience or a different feature? As you go through the lesson, think about how you might apply these concepts to develing that app. Consider sketching out possible designs with the components and properties that might be used.

In This Lesson

This lesson covers the foundations of Android user interface, which consists of layouts and components. As you move through the lesson, think about the following:

Where might I use these components in applications every day? How are they used?
What data is needed to comprise the content of these applications?
Which pieces of that data are static? Which pieces are dynamic?
What is the relational layout of each of the components? How would you accomplish this? What constraints would be required?
