Students write Android Apps


As an end-of-year project, some of my students, Ben, Boochi, and Samantha, choose to learn to write Android apps. They only had 2 1/2 weeks, but were able to put together a few interesting items.

They wrote an "excuse generator" which randomly combines words to sound like really high tech error messages, a decimal-to-binary converter, and a Pascal's Triangle generater of 1-8 degrees.


The Pascal's Triangle generater is published on The Market and can be downloaded for free. If you have an Android phone, my students would be thrilled to see it being downloaded and to have your comments/ratings.
