Smarties is a show-case application, which demonstrates Smart&Soft skills in Android design, ergonomics and development. This application does not have a functional consistency on its whole: it is made of modules, which focus on a functional or design purpose. You can access to each module, from the start screen.
All data taken from Internet throughout these modules are made persistent locally, so that you can use the application offline. All photos and images are also taken from Internet, and loaded progressively, on demand, which explains why they may take some time to load.
The modules
You can browse the modules from the screen following the splash screen. This screen is in "list" mode by default.
- From the modules "list" view screen, you can start a module directly by hitting the corresponding row. You can see more information and documentation about a module by swiping with the finger the corresponding view. You can create a shortcut of the module on the home screen by long-pressing the corresponding row. You can switch to a "gallery" view of the modules, by clicking on the title bar button.
- From the modules "gallery" view screen, you can see more details, explanations and instructions about the module, similarly to a gallery. You can start a module by hitting the bottom button. You can browse between the modules by using the top left and right navigation buttons, or by dragging the module title area on the left and on the right with your finger. You can switch to the "list" view by clicking on the title bar button.
