At this stage of the application custom animations and styles will be implemented. Components such as view properties/property animators, animationListeners, and Activity Transitions will be added to make these features possible.
Goals: Understand how and when to implement different types of animations within your app and style my app
- User sees a transition animation when going from the main screen to the add card screen.
- User sees a reveal animation when the flashcard is tapped and the answer is shown
- User sees flashcards animating in / out when the 'next' button is tapped
- Extra styling is added!
- User sees a countdown timer for each question
- User sees a 'card flip' animation when the card is tapped
- User sees a celebration animation with confetti when they answer a question correctly
The Flashcard app was started by building and focusing on how to add and customize views to be displayed on the screen. The end goals has changed and evolved to having a basic Flashcard app that can display a question, and on tap display the answer to the question, allowing users to create their own flashcard (this includes displaying the user created card). Now users are able to add to a database to store those questions and answers for future use.
Flash cards can now be viewed and new ones can now be created, so every time you close the app, all your flash cards are no longer lost! The Flashcard app has the added ability to save data. Multiple user created cards can be revisited on the app to review their cards.
Goals: Understand how to handle navigation and pass data around within an app, Create and view database for flashcards
