Adding a button

Today a button was added to the Hello world app.  and with it going to a specific website.

I still don quite understand all of the java code behind it that makes it tick, but i have a good idea.

I think it would be a lot easier if I had a 2 screen set up, this way I could make the view much wider &  keep code that IS one line on one line
(ie not have 3 lines each w/ text relating to a piece of ode w/ the 3rd line having the semicolon that tells the program it is the end of that 'line')

But in any case as long as I have an idea why it does what it does & can duplicate it in the future I think I will be OK

Scroll View

OK for all those out there remember I am new not just to blogging but also to attempting any sort of development.  Today I pushed myself to learn something before my books had it for me to learn - scroll view.


I have to dmit I took it for granted, after all I assumed so many apps used it it was just 'built in'.  Until I ypdated my 'Hello World' to have about 80 lines of text & could not get it to scroll anywhere.  Took some looking & reading but I figure it out.  It may only be text but I now have all 17 weeks of the AZ cardinals schedule on my phone.

(That gives me 17 weeks to get enough figured out before I REALLY need to accomplish anything.)
