👍 Looks good overall. Like your custom tip and split UIs and the smiling faces for quality! I can see you had fun with it

I have provided a detailed Project 1 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common issues with this submitted project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine how you could improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing applicable feedback as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of Android development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.

Hopefully this has given you a first sense of the RelativeLayout which is a very powerful layout system, probably one of the best responsive-first layout systems available across web and mobile platforms.

The next assignment will build on top of the first concepts introduced here and will also introduce networking, api use, handling remote images and navigating between activities.

If you have any particular questions about the assignment in general or on any of the feedback, feel free to reply here or post on the discussion forum on Jive.

Thanks Nathan! Btw is the Feedback guide a generic guide incorporating all the students' submissions or do you compile specific feedback per student?

It's a general set of feedback which is based on all submissions. But you can read through and identify the relevant portions to apply to your project. See you later today.
