Android Basics: User Interface

Android Basics: User Interface - Building Layouts

I went through the second course that I mentioned yesterday (link), and I learned some pretty useful user interface codes for android.

And these are the ones that I learned from the course today:
●ViewGroups
●LinearLayout
●Width and Height
●Layout Weight
●Relative Layout
●Padding and Margin

By having these practices, I am now capable of making simple android apps that do some basic functions. I was really impressed by the time it took for me to learn all of these, and the power that I have to create all these amazing layouts.

Ancient Architectural Style & Sketchup Practice

Today in history class, I learned some different types of architectural style in different ancient time periods -- Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Egypt.
