Android Task Manager Application Development Tutorial-Part One

Android Task Manager Application Development Tutorial

Hello everyone, recently I have developed an android task manager application as a class assignment. It has some awesome features like location aware feelings, alert messaging, setting alarm for specific task and ability to create a new task. Additionally an user can add location for critical task, set alarm message and also can set email reminder for a specific task. I think this application can help new developers to learn basic android development practically. So to help the new developers I think to write the whole development process in step by step manner. 

Development tools and languages 

As it is an android OS based application so the core language will be Java and XML. And the development tools will be Eclipse IDE, Emulator or Real Device, Map API V2 and SQLite Database. 

Description

So at first based on the scenario we can create Use Case diagram for better understanding the whole task process. Have a look at the use-case diagram.

In this picture I just tried to draw the basic task list. You will see details on each section in further tutorial.  

Now based on the scenario what can we do? Yep, we can do lots of thing before start coding. Let me give you the overall project package and class structure.  

Did you get it? May be No. Don't worry I will describe each part in detail. To understand this you have to know Java package and class structure. You can check it for knowing Java Package. 

Ok, we are on the right track now but before going forward you have to know some basics things about android application development.  

• Setting up android development environment
• Running hello world application 
• Understanding basic Java
• Some XML knowledge

If you know these things perfectly, you can move with us to the further steps. But if you don't know my suggestion is for you to spend one week for mastering the above criteria. 

It is first part of my android task manager tutorial series, I will be back in next week with second part. In the second part we will start to write code. So wait for until that. Good night!!
