University Mobile App Development: Displaying Pictures and Menus

This assignment focuses on the practical application of image views and menus within the context of mobile application development, specifically for Android platforms. The objective is to demonstrate the use of image views to display pictures, alongside the implementation of both Options and Context menus to enhance user interaction. The assignment highlights the importance of persistent data storage and introduces two essential helper methods: one for creating menu items and another for handling user selections. Furthermore, the assignment references several resources that provide insights into broader aspects of mobile app development, including the design of Android applications for various purposes such as road condition measurement, remote data analysis, augmented reality campus guides, and user interface management systems. The provided resources offer a comprehensive understanding of the Android app development process.

Summary of the Article
The objectives of this lecture were to use image views to display pictures, to use menu’s
with views and to examine some of the important additional views. The Image Views are utilized
for displaying the pictures. There are two types of menus. They are the Options Menu and the
Context Menu. Two helper methods are needed. The first will create the list of items to be
utilized in the menu and the second method handles the events fired when the user selects a
menu item. The data should be persistent enough.

Explanation of Resources
1. This resource describes the entire design procedure of an Android application for displaying
and measuring the road conditions. This resource helps to understand the benefits of android
application for displaying pictures and videos.
2. This resource helps to understand the development of a mobile android application for the
remote access and analysis of spectra.
3. This resource describes the android augmented reality application, which can show the
university campus information in real time images.
4. This resource describes about the utilization of GUI for the automated testing of the
applications of android.
5. This particular resource describes about the model, role and structure of a user interface
management system or UIMS. This management system is extremely important for any android
application.
