GLOSSARY

Project Specific Stuff

Activities

• MainAlarmsActivity: Where all the alarms get displayed. This is the homepage.
• AlarmSettingsActivity: Where alarm's settings are set.
• Each activity has a Java file with the names above, and an .xml file in underscore case. The .xml is layout stuff. For example, MainAlarmsActivity has the Java code and adds functionality. activity_main_alarms.xml has all the layout stuff and handles how things get displayed.

Views? (kinda like Activity, but smaller. Like an object or a module or smth)

• view_alarm: Layout stuff for single alarm. This gets used by RecyclerView to make multiple alarms.

Other Java Stuff

• Alarm: just a simple Alarm object
• AlarmAdapter: used in RecyclerView. I don't really get it; Sam Stutsman helped me with it. Here's the official docs for it

Terms for stuff

• Cards: what I'm calling the alarms on the main screen. These are made using CardView, so I'm calling em cards.

Android Stuff

• Activity: A full page. MainAlarms and AlarmSettings are Activities.
• Fragment: We don't use these yet. Basically small Activities. You can have multiple Fragments in one Activity to serve multiple different parts of a UI. We probably won't have to use these, so if you see em, probably safe to ignore em.
• Gradle: thing wot keeps track of all the libraries and such you have installed. If Android Studio is yelling at you, it's probably cuz you're missing a Gradle library.
• RecyclerView: What I'm using to automatically display multiple alarms.
