How to Make Android Apps 7 : Android Spinners and Layouts

In this tutorial we'll start making a useful Android unit conversion app. I'll show you everything this time because I on purpose didn't pre-plan anything.

I'll cover relative layouts, grid layouts, array resources, Array Adapters, Spinners, and more. In the next video I'll finish the entire app.

Hi Derek, I am used to looking at computing video tutorials on youtube quite intensively and I have to say that you are the best I"ve ever seen so far! This is first comment I have ever left and it had to be for you. How can someone produce so many top-quality tutorials at such a pace??? It is simply amazing! Please continue this excellent job!

Derek Banas I am very impressed by the quality of your tutorials. I also think they are one of the best tutorials on youtube. The way you zoom in and out in your video to draw attention to what your doing is really helpful especially when someone is speeding up the video. I can imagine that must be a lot of work, but please continue doing that as it is very helpful in drawing our attention to the important parts of the tutorial. Also, the fact that your videos explain a concept in its entirety is also extremely helpful to someone like me who knows a little bit about android dev and just needs to brush up on a few specific concepts. I discovered you through your content provider video, i loved your format so much that im watching this series from the beginning. Once again. Love your videos and appreciate all the hard work you put into them.

[semirumutkurt]

the idea of showing what the app will like in the end is good and the idea of writing storyboard of the app is brilliant. that's how we learn to develop algorithms for the apps. Thanks in advance

Do you cover custom-created views in any of your videos? I made a custom view and implemented it in an Activity (as if it were a button or whatever) but I can't seem to access the custom view's custom methods, or find answers about how! Thanks.

hey derek, did you cover building a homescreen or a UI using android studio''s graphic interface cause it saves a lot of time when you are building your homescreen. if yes, which of the tutorial covers it

[lasredchris]

Hi derek,
   sorry this is an unrelated question but for your stock videos, is there anywhere else to get xml data like that?(not just for stocks, but for sports, scores, news articles, etc)

What's the difference between a listView (w/ adapter) and a grid (nx1)? Isn't it the same?

Thanks a lot!

Why do you initialize unitTypeSpinner in method if it has been already initialized in addItemsToUnitTypeSpinner() method?

[burnburn]

Your a beast man. Quick side question. What do you use for Mobile App mockups? like to design what the app would look like? What software do you use or suggest?
