Chapter 12. Having a Dialogue with the User

In this chapter, we will see how to present a user with a pop-up dialog window. We can then put all we know into the first phase of our first app, Note To Self. You will learn about new Android and Java features in this chapter and the next five chapters as well, and we will use your newly acquired knowledge to enhance the Note To Self app each time.

In each chapter, we will also build a selection of mini apps that are separate from this main app. So, this chapter holds the following in store for you:

  • How to add resources such as Strings and graphics to a project
  • How to use Android naming conventions ...
