Assignment 1

Academic Planner App

Total: 5 marks

Due date: 5pm 21st August 2024 (Week 04)

Submission requirements:

1. Submit all project files as one zipped file.
2. You will demonstrate your app to your tutor during the tutorial

time.

In this assignment, you will extend the ToDoList app you started in the tutorials

to create an Academic Planner app. This app should help you organise your

class schedules, assignment deadlines, exam dates and fee due dates.

Main View Requirements

1. List View:

• Display all your class dates and times, assignments due dates, and exam dates.

Each item should show the name and due date/time. If the due date has passed,

display “OVERDUE” instead. [0.5 mark]

• Each item should include a checkbox to mark it as completed. [0.25 mark]
• Include an “ADD NEW” button to switch to the “Edit/Add Item View” when clicked.

[0.25 mark]

• Implement a long-click event to delete an item. When a user attempts to delete

an item, a pop-up confirmation message should ask: “Have you already

completed this item?” If the user clicks “YES”, the item should be deleted from

both the List View and the local Database. [0.25 mark]

Edit/Add Item View Requirements

2. Fields and Controls:

• A text field to input or edit the item name. [0.25 mark]
• A spinner to select the type of items from a set: class, exam or assignment.

Tapping the spinner displays a menu showing all available options for the user to

select. [0.25 mark]

• A date/time picker to set or update the class dates, exam dates or assignment

due dates. [0.5 mark]

• A “Save” button to add or update the item in the List View and the local databas.

When adding a new item, capture the item name, item type and due date/time.COMP5216 Mobile Computing

• Load the list of items from the local database every time the app is launched. The
