Today I start to run this blog with only one goal on my mind: I wish to show the process of creating and maintaining a native Android app with all necessary phases I use. I also hope that I will learn something new along the way from your comments or maybe contributions to the code. I will try not to use a lot of words, but instead will try to create code as self explanatory as I could.
OK, let's see how I organized different stuff:
- Code will be hosted on GitHub. I will try to add branch for every topic I covered, and as code grows it will be merged to master branch, so one can have a workable version with all features.
- Before adding new features to code, I will explain them and try to create a separate small project that would cover that feature, i.e. if database communication is the topic, first the small example project will be created and after that additions to main projects will be made.
- I will use Android Studio as IDE and of course, gradle as build tool.
- I will provide sources of materials (code, images) I would eventually use.
- Hopefully, at the end, this app will be published on Google Play Store.
Prerequisites
Reader should know:
- how to use Android phone/tablet
- basics of Java programming language
- how to install Android Studio and run it
- how Android is organized; I don't have time to write the same stuff that is rewritten a thousand times on internet, so just google it!
- maybe something else which I can't think of now, but I will add eventually.
The app
The app we will create will be called Medicine Reminder and it would be, as name suggests, reminder for medicaments that users use. Later, the app will be extended to support different patients with their prescriptions.
I hope you will find this interesting.
Regards,
Draško Sarić
