Mobile App Dev 2021W: Tutorial 9
This tutorial is due on April 8, 2021 via cuLearn. Please use this template for your solutions.
Questions
- Where in the application is the following behaviour specified?
- The size of the red circle
- The colour of the red circle.
- No application title on the screens.
- The application should start with showing the splash screen.
- The splash screen layout in splashscreen.xml is associated with the code in SplashScreen.kt
- Clicking on continue on the splash screen should cause MainActivity to be run.
- The layout of the application changes when you switch the device to dark/night mode, beyond different colors. Why?
- Where does the application send an explicit intent? Where does it receive an explicit intent?
- Where does the application send an implicit intent? Where does it receive an implicit intent?
- What touch events does MainActivity respond to? What code implements the response for them?
- Why are the constants added to circle.x and circle.y in TrackCircle's onTouch handler (lines 40 and 41)? How does the behavior of the app change if these constants are removed? Why?
- TrackCircle's onTouch method does the same thing in response to an ACTION_MOVE and an ACTION_UP event. Are both of these needed? What happens if either is removed?
