Bill Splitter Android 6.0 App

This is a basic Android 6.0 app which will split a bill evenly between a specified number of people. Though its functionality is simple, it demonstrates how to collect user input, respond to user events (pushing a button), pass information between activities, insert images as drawables, and designate the parent activity of an activity (so as to create a back button).
Enter the amount of the bill and the number of persons to split it between and then press the "Split My Bill!" button. The app will then report the bill amount portion for each person, split equally.
As this was my first Android app, it took a good deal of time to set up Android Studio and become acclimated to Android development in general. I ran into numberous issues associated with using Android for the first time. For instance, when I was inserting images, every image inserted was gray, though each had the same shape/outline as expected. After some research and searching, I found this Stack Overflow article, which directed me to install a plugin for batch drawable import. This fixed the issue.
