Hi @nesquena and @timothy1ee,

My app is complete, I'm just missing the gif. /cc @thecodepath

👍 Nice work Dianna. A few notes after checking out the code:

• Good to see you used event listeners(addTextChangedListener) for auto-updating bill, tip
• Good use of margins, sp/dp in view
• Good use of string resources for text values.
• You can think about adding error handling for empty input.
• Good to see you changed EditText input type to launch numeric keypad only
• Good UI touch by adding custom icon

One of the most important part of these projects is that you add additional features and tweak the UI / UX because that will provide many more learning opportunities. I would encourage you to push the projects each week, continue adding your own UI elements and experimenting with optional features that improve the user experience.

We have provided a detailed Project 1 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common points we see for this project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine other ways you could improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing applicable feedback as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of Android development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.

Hopefully this has given you a better sense of working with views and the RelativeLayout which is a very powerful layout system, probably one of the best responsive-first layout systems available across web and mobile platforms. The next assignment will build on top of the first concepts introduced here and will also introduce networking, api use, handling remote images and navigating between activities.

If you have any particular questions about the assignment in general or on any of the feedback, feel free to reply here or or email us support@thecodepath.com.

P.S. Good to see you properly added the readme with features and screenshots to your project as described in the submitting assignments guide!
