Yesterday I watched so many tutorial videos that I fell asleep during the last one. I learned a lot, but I won't be doing that again. I then started designing the layout for my first real app. I've already run into a couple of interesting design issues. Coming from classes in school with pretty strict requirements, I'm not really used to having this degree of freedom. It's pretty cool though.
After I got all the concepts drawn out, I started to actually implement my design. I'm glad I took a few hours to draw out all those concepts and figure out as much as possible, because it has already clearly made my job easier. Definitely something I will continue to practice for future apps.
The rest of my day was spent implementing a custom ArrayAdapter so I could use a ListView with some custom classes. I did eventually get it working, but then I found out about the already existing SimpleAdapter class that can apparently do exactly what I needed. So I will probably end up scrapping the class I made in favor of this SimpleAdapter, since my class wasn't very good anyway.
