Task Helper is an android app that allows building a todo list and basic todo items management functionality including adding new items, editing and deleting an existing item.
Submitted by: Rowan-James Tran
Time spent: 8 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- User can successfully add and remove items from the todo list
- User can tap a todo item in the list and bring up an edit screen for the todo item and then have any changes to the text reflected in the todo list.
- User can persist todo items and retrieve them properly on app restart
The following optional features are implemented:
- Persist the todo items into SQLite instead of a text file
- Improve style of the todo items in the list using a custom adapter
- Add support for completion due dates for todo items (and display within listview item)
- Use a DialogFragment instead of new Activity for editing items
- Add support for selecting the priority of each todo item (and display in listview item)
- Tweak the style improving the UI / UX, play with colors, images or backgrounds
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
When selecting priority while creating tasks, radio buttons are colored to match the priority icons in the main view. Tasks with the same priority are sorted based on due date. Users can choose to sort by ascending or descending priority.
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Although I have programmed with Android in the past, it was in a version before the new Design Support Library which includes the Floating Action Button and other UI elements. I had a lot of fun learning about the new Android material design elements, but it was quite challenging at the same time. Additionally, I had to create lots of custom classes in order to support the custom class used to display the tasks in the list.
