C# actually is easier and has far more better tools for development.

i set up android development platform some days back. Now, i need a project that will help me explore the android world. I only know the basics aand have done small apss like investment calculator, tip calculator and i have enough eebooks for reference. I need an idea on aa project that i shld do. Thanks.

Develop a mini-Payroll system for a company. An application that can be used to pay workers in a company, There should be at least 3 different types of workers. The simulation should be attractive. It should also not be too heavy

If you having probs with UML i can quickly start up one for you which you would have to finish.

Make use of an embedded database

You should have a login system(allows only certain people)

If your application is SUPER or and the simulation is fast using the minimal memory, just send me your paypal email address and you would be £50 richer.

fayimora, am in. Will communicate with you and update you. Thanks for the opportunity.

Ok goodluck. Your time starts now!!!

Fayimora:

Haha blackstar ddnt knw dat u were gonna teach android. Thought u wanted to learn android and dats y i offered to teach you. Sorry for d confusion

I am learning android and at the same teaching it - so your help will still be required - do you have pdf of those JAVA books you recommended earlier on.

fayimora, i am already collecting data on for the requiremenr specification but i have a problem, i noticed that tax issues and net pay calculations varies from one state to another, will it apply to a particular state or region? if no, how do you i make the payment calculation generic as in which formula shld i use, also will the calculation be based on hours worked, weekly, monthly or willl it support all. Am askinng cause i need to build something that shlld be relevant to what you need it for. Thanks.
Megaplaza

Firstly is megaplaza = blackstar

Anyways like i said its a. Mini pay roll system. You might decide nt to add anyfin tax if its too ambigious for you, three types of workers is fine. Also i dnt need the app. Someone asked for somefin to do i i gave him

No way

Yeah soRry bout that. Just realised am confusing another thread with this one. Was usin ma ipad so ddnt really check

fayimora, ok, thanks will keep in touch as i progress. Though u don't neef, i want the app to be useful and relevant not just an aapp for learning and exploring android.

Well you can start with a mini-one, show someone dat can be interested and den finish up the development. As for me, i mean for now, I develop to explore and perfect skills, The right time for marketing would come

thanks,

Lesson 1

Before writing any code , i can not over emphasis the importance of understanding the problem domain that you are attempting to model via any programming language.

tip No 1 Using Pseudo code - A compact and informal high level description of the problem domain.

or

Pseudocode is a kind of structured english for describing algorithms. It allows the designer to focus on the logic of the algorithm without being distracted by details of language syntax. At the same time, the pseudocode needs to be complete. It describe the entire logic of the algorithm so that implementation becomes a rote mechanical task of translating line by line into source code.

Beaf:

Guy's, give up dying languages like Java, VB etc.

LOL
whats with you and the microsoft framework, i develop in c# but u love the language just too much

@Fayimora and Blacksta

please go on with the tutor, i want to see some codes

blacksta:

Nice thread! I can .rar 3 out of those books to you. Dont have java easy steps.

Continuation of Lesson 1

PseudoCode does not execute on computer but rather it helps the programmer to think out a program before writing the code.

A carefully thought out pseudocode can easily be transformed into a corresponding Java program

Example  1.1 of  Psuedocode

If student’s grade is greater than or equal to 90
     Print “A”
else
    If student’s grade is greater than or equal to 80
              Print “B”
   else
        If student’s grade is greater than or equal to 70
                Print “C”
      else
           If student’s grade is greater than or equal to 60
                  Print “D”
           else
                         Print “F”




JAVA Equivalent


if ( studentGrade >= 90 )
    System.out.println( "A" );
else
    if ( studentGrade >= 80 )
          System.out.println( "B" );
    else
         if ( studentGrade >= 70 )
            System.out.println( "C" );
        else
             if ( studentGrade >= 60 )
                 System.out.println( "" );
            else
                    System.out.println( "F" );

Example 1.2 of Psuedocode

Prompt user to enter number 1

Save input to num1

prompt user to enter number 2

save input to num2


Add num1 to num2

save addition of (num1 and num2) to sum

print sum




JAVA Equivalent


import java.util.Scanner;


public class EnterInput {

public static void main (String arg[]){

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

int number1;
int number2;
int sum;

System.out.print("Enter first interger: ";
number1 = input.nextInt();


System.out.print("Enter second interger: ";
number2 = input.nextInt();

sum = number1 + number2;

System.out.printf(" Sum is %d\n", sum );

}

}


In lay terms pseudo code helps you visualise the solution before coding.

Is Android OS Linux basedIs their OS open source code too??

Please note that if you are a beginner you should just use 1 book for now and I advice "Java, How to program". For those that have emailed me you wud realise I ddnt send mopre than 1 book to you. Reasons withheld for now

I must confess, Charlay! This is 1 smart azz thread.
Blacksta, Fayimora! I salute.

Nice thread, so loving it

@blacksta and @Fayimora pls sand me the books so I can follow up on the lessons

Tanx

Faymorayou are doing a gret job. Could you send the pdf format of Java how to program to me?
My email address is shekinaholaleye@gmail.com
Thanks for your swift response.
