App Dev: Entry 5



Project 2: Milestone 2

Android is harder than I previously anticipated. Unlike iOS, where everything has only one right way, Android has many ways to do things that seem to change from patch to patch as few of third-party documentation were consistent.

In particular, I was looking for the “right” way to have settings as an overlay after clicking a hamburger nav. However, in addition to there not being a consensus on how to properly do it, the language that Google added, in the form of “Toasts” and “Snackbars”, makes it even more difficult to understand if what I have been reading for the past fifteen minutes is actually relevant or not.

I was able to add most of the functionality. This includes the menu that changes as well as the shake function. I stil have to implement the final app design to be more minimalistic
