ToDone 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: Ray Megal
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:
- Using Toolbar-s instead of buttons
- Added a splash screen. Not sure I would use this in an app that didn't have a significant startup cost.
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

- Storing multi-line items in a TXT file was troublesome since loading a multi-line task would result in multiple tasks being created in the ListView. I changed to storing a serialized version of the underlying ArrayList as JSON to resolve this.
- I'm working in a Windows 10 environment with Hyper-V enabled so I followed this to dual-boot into an environment that allowed me to use the Genymotion emulator: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SwitchEasilyBetweenVirtualBoxAndHyperVWithABCDEditBootEntryInWindows81.aspx
- The ideavim plugin allowed me to use vim keybindings within Android Studio. Very handy.
- You can find very useful color guidelines here
- 20170218: Implemented date picker for due date and updated adapter to display due date in list view. Ditched left/right margins on background.
- 20170217: Implemented the use of fragments. It works, but I'm sure the handling of data and events could be better organized.
- 20170201: Now storing data in database using DBFlow/SQLite. The look/feel/functionality is identical.
