App 01 - Ringer Mode Switcher
This first app basically extends an app I found in a tutorial I tried. the original app was a simple app that had a single button that toggled the phone's ringer from normal to silent mode.
My Changes:
- Added a second button to account for the ringer's vibrate mode.
- Added a landscape layout, since the button on the original app was offscreen when in landscape mode.
- Used relative layouts rather than linear layouts for better arrangement of the buttons and image on the screen
- Added a text box to the app

Update: Changes
Hello again,
Things have changed yet again, and now I'm moving into Android app development. I will post information about the apps I make here as I go. I won't post code, but I will post explanations of how my apps work, so anyone viewing this blog might better understand and appreciate what goes into an app.
Also, since it is possible to post JavaScript code to Blogger, I will make games and possibly demos of what goes on in my apps, all written in JavaScript. I actually have a game, I'll post it here in a few days
