The Scenario

Personalized Showcase App: Make an app for your own personal Bucket List

As your portfolio is growing, you’ve decided it would be worthwhile to include an app that is both:

• A showcase of your abilities developing custom layouts and advanced looking lists
• A fun personal app that you can show friends and family in your journey as an Android developer.

The Acceptance Criteria

It is done when:

• There is a brand new project that is your own personal Bucket List (list of fun, adventurous things you want to do and places you want to go). App title anything you like.
• The home screen features two clickable/tappable elements: one for “Things to do” and one for “Places to go”. The clickable element can be anything you like (Button, ImageView, TextView, CardView with complex layout – whatever you think ‘looks good’).
• Each clickable element goes to a separate activity, featuring a RecyclerView for your list.
• Each activity lists appropriate items for that screen (Things to do, Places to go).
