Set Up App Frame in Android Studio

[lmsiu]

• Make new project, titled "Wings"

• Setup all activities and layout.xml files needed. Design them according to the wireframes, and just ensure to make a Fragment container!

  • StartActivity{ }:
    • to switch between all not often used Fragments (Login, Register 1 and 2, ProfileSetup, and EditTrustedContacts)
  • MainActivity{ }:
    • to switch between all oftenly used Fragments (Home, UserProfile, SearchUser, ChooseBuddy, OtherProfile)
  • SettingsActivity{ }:
    • an in between, all account settings can be edited here (email, name, uses EditTrustedContacts Fragment)

• Set up all interfaces to be used a listener from Fragments to Activities (How Fragments can invoke a method from the Activity to switch to next Fragment):

  • StartActivityListener{ }: StartActivity and all Fragments that need to be shown on the activity will use this.
    • These methods are ALL IMPLEMENTED IN StartActivity:
    • toLoginFragment(): switches to Login screen
    • toRegisterOneFragment(): swtiches to Register 1 Screen
    • toRegisterTwoFragment(): switches to Register 2 Screen
    • toProfileSetUp(): switches to Profile Setup Screen
    • toEditTrustedContacts(): switches to EditTrustedContacts Screen
    
    
  • MainActivityListener{ }: works in the EXACT same way but with MainActivity and its Fragments
    • toHomeFragment()
    • toUserProfile()
    • toSearchUser()
    • toOtherProfile()
    • toChooseBuddy()
  • @jmnguyen1999 implemented this way for her Instagram copy project, "Snapagram", but with in-class interfaces! If you need to see how it works you can take a look at "SignUpFragment.java" and how it works with "StartingActivity.java"
  • NOTE: Also more in depth on the Google Docs outline!

• Input all color hex-values, text fonts, text sizes, icons, etc that was used in the wireframe into their corresponding res folders so others can easily design their layout files!

• Push to GitHub

Some fragments may require data! Here's a resource for passing data to fragments!
Passing data from activity to fragment

e.g. toOtherProfile(userId of User to show!)
