Android App Development ​

I completed the online MOOC course Creative, Serious, and Playful Science of Android Apps, offered by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Coursera, as a way to become familiar with app functionality, development, and deployment.  As a business analyst, it is useful to have a baseline knowledge of apps for requirements gathering, functional specs, and testing.

In this course I created a number of Android apps, creating the user interface with XML, the functionality with Java, using Eclipse as a development environment.

This is a basic Android App created to work with relative layout for different size tablets and phones, that can adjust when held in both landscape and portrait mode. 

It demonstrates an app with images, scrolling text, buttons to external webpages, and plays music.

This is basic Android App I created for collecting customer data.  There are data input fields, which validate datatypes: text for names, numbers for phone, email format for email fields.  

The app can send text messages using the phone's text system, create emails, and store user preferences on the phone.
