Android Session 6 @ Mbarara University 2015

Hi Developers! My name is Ndibarekera Maureen. I am a final year student at Mbarara University of Science and Technology pursuing a Bachelors degree in Information Technology. 

Am glad to be part of the Android Students' Club here at campus because it has enabled me as a lady developer to discover alot and acquire new skills such as mobile application development.

Students work together on code during session

On the Saturday 2, May 2015, we had yet another Android session where we focused on SQLite Databases and i'm going to share with you what i learnt. 

SQLite is used to model databases where data is stored. During the session, we were able to insert data into a table and retrieve it afterwards. It was a fun packed lesson yet informative that we deserved before we begin our end of year exams. We'll resume android immediately after exams.

The application that am working on and plan to submit back to Udacity by the end of the training is a "Hair Style Chart" guiding both men and women on how to have a nice looking hair style.

Finally i would like to take this opportunity to encourage all the ladies out there who think that programming is an activity for only men to believe in themselves. They can do great things if only they are willing to try by writing the first line of code.

Android Session 5 @ Mbarara University 2015

Greetings dear Android Lovers and Developers,

My name is Norbert Tumukunde, a software developer at Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Uganda pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, currently in my final year of study.

I am so grateful to be part of the Android Student Club here at the University. It has helped me to learn and improve my programming skills most especially in Android, which is of course the most widely used mobile operating system in the world running smartphones, tablets etc.

Students during the session

We have held a number of sessions and the focus for the session on Saturday, 25th April and Tuesday, 28th April 2015 was on Data storage in Android. 

We developed an app that could save data on a mobile device's memory. The app allows the user to enter content ie text, which is stored once the user decides so and is retrieved at their time of choice.

 It is of importance to store data in static files on Android because memory content of small magnitude can easily be stored on the memory card of the phone.

I am so privileged to learn Android because of it's relevance due to it's wide market share. I have been introduced to Google Play and i hope to start uploading applications soon.

The application i'm working on is a "Diabetes Patients' helper" guiding a patient on diet and exercises to do basing on their Diabetes' levels.
