I actually started a few months ago, but after being dismayed by the serious learning curve (well, by how much I have to relearn, coming from Java), I put aside my app after getting just the most basic “proof of concept” version out.

Over the past couple days, I upgraded the existing functionality to be more in line with my goal (though it is still a long ways off), and added in the second major function. The app now uses two activities, and I am feeling a little more comfortable with the Android approach to GUI design.

I hope to add in the last major feature in the next few days, as well as work on refining the GUI (which currently screams “hello world!”), and work on completing that first function (which will be, by far, the most complex part of this app).

It’s a really silly goal! I laughed when I saw it, and thus, decided to add it to my list. I really can’t recommend aiming for rejection, though. (It’s simply too easy to achieve.)

I forgot all about this…

But, I completed the Java sequence at my college. I’m not exactly a Java guru or anything, but it’s at least one programming language I’m pretty comfortable with. Now to learn all the Android-specific things….
