Android-Basics-Words-App

This "starter" branch contains the source code for the Words app that uses Intents to navigate through screens (see the "activities" branch for use of fragments instead)

*Based on Google's official training pathway (Unit 3: Navigation/Pathway 1)

This simple dictionary app allows you to select a letter and use Intents to navigate to an Activity that presents a number of words starting with that letter. Each word can be looked up via a web search.

It contains a scrollable list of 26 letters A to Z in a RecyclerView. The orientation of the RecyclerView can be changed between a vertical list or a grid of items.

📗 What I learned

  • How to use an explicit intent to navigate to a specific activity.
  • How to use an implicit intent to navigate to content in another app.
  • How to add menu options to add buttons to the app bar.

⚙️ What I built

Modified a starter dictionary app to implement navigation between screens using intents and adding an options menu.
