  UML Diagram.
  JavaDoc description of class.
• Submit via the Course Management System.
• Suggestions/Correction in the textbook:
  • Ch6: "Retreiving Shared Preferences", p111
    Code says "String user = Settings.getString(....);", should be: "String user = settings.getString(....);" (lower case 's' in "settings").
  • Ch7: "Handling Animation Lifecycle", example with fade2, p130.
    This just gets the animation. You must also do: myThing = (YourCastHere) getViewById(..), and call myThing.startAnimation(fade2);
    Suggestion is to add a Toast to the callback so you can see that it happens (debugging only).
• Sample solution.
