GetStuffDone 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: Rubab Uddin
Time spent: 30 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:
- Features are automatically sorted by priority
- Added a splash screen
- Used a DatePicker to set task completion dates
- Used menu and floating buttons to interact with activity
- Followed Android Material Design guideline

(Saved backups of my iterations throughout and checked it all out at once at the end - next time I'll use GitHub throughout the dev process)
Some of the challenges I faced while creating this app was understanding how intents were passed and how to handle the various result codes for situations when a task already existed. I found that it helps to map out the lifecycle of events before coding. Minor typos while using the SQLite functions also got me quite frustrated, but it is definitely something to know for next time! The app is now submitted but I will still try to implement the DialogFragment as well as additional features before the deadline!
