This code repo serves two purposes. One, to soft fork some libraries I use that needed some code cleanup. Two, to provide one place to put my UI control demos and application demos. In this readme you will see links to the videos of the demos and in the application demos case, sometimes apk file links.
If too impatient for the page with videos in the middle you can view my YouTube channel where I post videos of Android UI and Application demos:
The difference between an intern and someone who can code, design, and develop remotely is all-in the manual habits an engineer an developer has, which are often called best practices. We have this very immature form of computer technology in which the software only adapts to those situations in which the software developer planned. And to add to that our computer language technology that we use to write programs is so immature that its extremely ambiguous in what we mean when we write most code so that we have to manually tell the compiler what we mean. Hence, all these manual best practices.
Every 18 to 28 months Google, just like Apple, introduces a new UI set of best practices and new UI features in a major version Android OS release. Thus, it is important to understand how to port features backward to prior OS versions as Google only backports the features it feels are important.
The UI demos below cover most of the new feature effects of Material backported from the Lollipop and Marshmallow version releases.
These application demos show a full application in terms of what branding can be done. Branding is important as we do not have the same massive room of desktop applications to implement branding. But, you are probably viewing these demos because you want an android developer that customizes UI controls to brand. Hence this set of application demos.
You probably notice that I do things differently as far as code development. My training in code development comes from having a hands-on-imperative to electronics and code from an early age and intense passionate interest. But, its not a free-wheeling process in that I measure myself against expert developers much like a martial artist like Bruce Lee faced each new area of training and sparring with other martial artist experts.
I explore things all the time and I am an computer language polyglot. That does not mean that I can be bothered and spammed to do someone's back-end or front-end in ruby, python, or java as I am now focused on android native java application development. Some of my explorations have even been in such diverse subjects as breaking RSA encryption.
I took my years of experience in start-ups on back-ends, front-ends, and mobile java and transition to developing and designing native java applications for the android OS mobile platform.
Same rules as is on my LinkedIN profile, no recruiters and only funded(beyond speculation seed capital stage) startups and it would be helpful to view the demos and ask about the code as you would standout from all the freeloaders who want to exploit that spam me.
