Dogglers - Starter Code

Starter code for the second independent project for Android Basics in Kotlin. This project pairs with Unit 2 of Android Basics in Kotlin

Introduction

This is the starter code for the Dogglers app project. This project is an opportunity for you to demonstrate the concepts you learned in Unit 2 of Android Basics in Kotlin.

Pre-requisites

• Complete Unit 1 of Android Basics in Kotlin
• Complete Project 1: Lemonade App
• Complete Unit 2 of Android Basics in Kotlin

Getting Started

1. Download the starter code
2. Open the project in Android Studio
3. Complete the project in accordance with the app requirements

Tasks

Completing Dogglers consists of two parts:

1. Implementing the layouts for the list items
2. Implementing the adapter for the RecyclerView

Implementing the layouts requires completing the code for vertical/horizontal list items as well as the layout for grid list items. The files, UI components, and UI component attributes required to complete this task are all outlined in the codelab for this project.

Implementing the adapter requires completing the code in the DogCardAdapter.kt file. In this file there are many TODOs outlining what needs to be done. Broadly speaking, there are three components to completing the adapter:

1. A data set containing information on the dogs must be provided to the adapter.
2. There are three methods required to create a RecyclerView. These methods can be found in the existing file, but the logic inside of them must be completed.
3. The logic inside of the constructor for the ViewHolder must be completed.

For a detailed description of how to go about completing the code for the adapter, please refer to the codelab.
