The document describes setting up the layout for a basic calculator app in Android Studio. It involves dragging buttons to represent arithmetic symbols into the activity_main.xml file and editing the properties of each button such as the text and ID. A TextView is added to display the answer and two EditText fields are added to take numeric input from the user. The layout is further customized using a relative layout and adjusting positioning of the elements.
The document discusses the basic structure of an Android application project. It explains that the main files and code are contained in the src package, the resources like images and layouts are in the res folder, and the AndroidManifest file configures permissions and settings. Additional folders like gen and Android contain auto-generated and library files that provide support for the core application code but are not primarily worked with directly.
Ray Kirby: Lectures are STILL AppropriateChris Evans
The document argues against replacing face-to-face lectures with digital lectures in three main points:
1. Pedagogically, face-to-face lectures allow for more interaction between the lecturer and students, enabling discussions, questions, and active learning. Digital lectures encourage passive consumption and remove this interactivity.
2. Culturally, prospective students and parents expect the university experience to include attending lectures as part of being a student. Removing face-to-face lectures could harm recruitment.
3. Practically, replacing lectures could make the university's key statistics look worse and increase student attrition rates if students do not engage with the digital replacements.
Angela Ayois: Twitter for Teaching Corporate Social ResponsibilityChris Evans
The document discusses how Twitter has become an important platform for conducting "vigorous multidimensional conversations" among professionals in various fields including business ethics. It notes that within specialized communities on Twitter, credible experts curate information on important issues in their field through retweets. In contrast to one-way information searches, Twitter allows participants to actively engage in ongoing discussions within their virtual professional networks. The author has used Twitter to facilitate discussions about CSR/sustainability topics outside of class, to provide up-to-date materials and ideas to students. Student responses have been mixed, with some actively engaging while others prefer not to use social media.

The document discusses potential harms of dairy consumption and alternatives. It claims that dairy products have been linked to diseases like cancer and osteoporosis, and that countries with low dairy intake have lower bone fracture rates. Several studies are cited showing associations between dairy and increased cancer risks. Alternatives to dairy like almond milk and calcium sources from plants are suggested, and benefits of reducing or eliminating dairy are outlined.
Drupal 8 was officially released in November 2015 after over 5 years of development. It features a new MVC structure, improved caching, and a Twig-based templating engine. The developers at add.websolution enjoyed working with D8 and found the development process easier than with previous versions due to stronger core functionality and simplified APIs. They believe it is the right time for organizations to consider moving projects to D8 given the increased adoption rates and availability of learning resources to ease the transition.
This document provides instructions for creating a basic ToDo list Android application from scratch. It describes creating an Android project called ToDoList, modifying the main layout file to include an EditText, Button, and ListView within a LinearLayout, and giving each widget an ID. It then explains getting references to these widgets in the main activity class, creating an ArrayList to store todo items and an ArrayAdapter to bind the list to the ListView. Finally, it details adding an onClickListener to the button to add new items to the ArrayList and notify the adapter of changes. Running the application should display an editable todo list.
We will be creating a more complex Android app over the next few classes. Students should create a new Android application project and name it. The welcome message introduces an upcoming project to build an app with increased complexity compared to previous examples.

Finally, it discusses adding an on click listener to the add button to add new items from the edit text to the array list and refresh the list view.
To run an Android app on a physical device or virtual device, you need to enable USB debugging on the physical device and connect it to your computer. You can then create a new Android project in Eclipse or Android Studio, select the target device, and click run to launch the app on that device. If working with maps, Eclipse is recommended as you can directly input coordinates in the virtual device.

The document discusses improving an app's code by refactoring repetitive code into a reusable function. It provides an example of creating a "calculate" function that takes mathematical operation strings as parameters and performs the calculation on two variables, returning and displaying the result. This cleans up the code by removing repetitive calculation logic from button click handlers, instead calling the calculate function and passing the operation. It notes the goal is to decrease complexity, increase readability and reusability by extracting duplicative code into functions.
