This week’s assignment has been the most challenging so far. This app was challenging to create because it required very minimal user interface elements and more code blocks. This week I focused on the design elements of the user interface to customize my application.

This week I think it was great to create an app that can save lives—texting while driving is dangerous. I played on the theme of driving when I chose my background. I used the TinyDB database component to keep any customized messages the user inputs. The initial screen is set to load the last custom response input. I like a clean user interface, so the custom message box is hidden when the screen initializes. When the user clicks the edit icon on the home screen, the custom text box becomes available. I also added the Text To Speech component to read out loud the incoming message and phone number. I learned a lot of new behaviors and components during this lesson.
