The State of our Nation Tiny App by Charles Winston

Overview:

This application is a PSA about how strange, and scary, the situation in our country is right now.

Usage:

Follow the instructions the application gives in order to find the PSA message. Be warned, it may scare you.

Running requirements:

You must have Node, React Native, React Navigation, and Android Studio installed. In order to run on an Android emulator, open your emulator from Android Studio and type:

react-native run-android

in your shell. This may take some time on your first build.

Documentation and Resources:

This app began using Create React Native App, using tutorials found at https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html I then had to eject the app from Create React Native App in order to build on the Android Emulator. I used the instructions found here in order to do so: https://github.com/react-community/create-react-native-app/blob/master/EJECTING.md

What I Learned:

• Name your app something smart. And keep your names consistent. It is not fun to figure out how to change them. I ran into a lot of trouble where there were different names for my project and my app, and it took me a while to figure that out.

• Building can take a really long time.

• React Native is extremely powerful and way better than Android Studio.
