Mobile App Dev 2022W: Tutorial 9
This tutorial is still being developed. The code is final, the questions/tasks are being edited.
In this tutorial you'll be working with PicViewer2, and Android app with some similarity to RemotePicViewer from Tutorial 4. The key differences are 1) the pictures are local, not remote, and 2) it displays the image scale, rotation, and position as editable fields, and 3) it only supports image dragging and clicking, not any other gestures.
Getting Started
You'll need to do the following to get PicViewer2 running:
- Create a new empty activity project compatible with Android 5.0, don't check the legacy library support box.
- Replace MainActivity.kt and activity_main.xml with the versions below.
- Add the kittens and roshi images to the drawable resources. Just copy these files into app/src/main/res/drawable in your project, they should then show up under res->drawable in Android Studio.
Questions
- How is the layout of the page specified? Specifically, how are the labels aligned with the text entry boxes?
- How does dragging interact with manually entering positions, scale, and rotations? In particular, test dragging a picture that has been scaled below 1. Does it move as you expect?
Tasks
- Add at least one image to the app. Make sure the old and new images are displayed with clicking on the current image.
- Move the scale, rotation, and position text entry widgets and their labels to the left or the center of the screen (rather than being aligned on the right). Make sure your layout maintains the same rough positioning when the screen is rotated or a different sized screen is used.
- Add a widget that shows the name of the current image just above the rotation text entry area and that allows a new image to be selected. This field can be a text entry field or a pop-up menu.
