App Development
In early 2018 I was seeking ways to supplement my education and explored various online programming resources. I came across Udacity and applied for a scholarship opportunity through Google for app development. I was accepted and participate in the three month trial. Upon completion I was further selected for the Udacity Android Basics Nanodegree. It was a challenging and unique experience that provided many insights and along the way allowed me to develop various applications.
soccer statistic app
A fun project that got me familiar with buttons and writing methods within Android Studio. The project outline was to choice a sport that allowed for recording statistics. Given my nature I desired to add additional features such as a running time through a custom function. I also added a print out of goals scored with the corresponding time, possession counter that updates upon each input, and a basic undo feature that is activated on long presses for individual stats. The goal print out also removes entries in the appropriate order for inaccurately recorded goals.
Home screen

GOal Recorder
An array list is used to track and display goals scored along with there corresponding time of goal.
Undo
Goals can be removed with a long press should they be done in error. The appropriate team goal is removed without impact the other teams entries. This is true for all undo features.
Inventory App
An inventory app for a mock electronic store was developed. This used SQLite for storing data and querying data locally from the phone memory. New inventory can be added, edited, and removed. Sales and new stock can be accounted for at various points allowing stock to be refreshed. The user also has the option to call the supplier via the product info screen.

The News App introduced me to using the guardian API to pull news stories and populate a scroll view. Filter and search refinement is also provided along with the ability to click on an article summary to bring up the full Guardian new article.
