Hey there, I'm Ben and I'm here to give
you a little more practice with Room.
0:09
After all, practicing what you've learned
is one of the best ways to make it stick.
0:13
In this practice session, we're going to
create a very basic note taking app and
0:18
use Room to save the note data.
0:23
When you're trying to learn something new,
a good way to get started is to try and
0:26
implement it in an empty project.
0:30
So what we're going to do for
0:32
this session is create an empty project
and then build a note taking app.
0:34
Here's what you'll need to do.
0:38
First, create a new project,
naming it whatever you'd like.
0:40
Then create the layout of
the note taking app with
0:44
a recycler view,
an edit text, and a button.
0:49
And users should be able to add a note in
the edit text, like Android is awesome.
0:54
And when they click the button, the note
should be added to the recycler view.
1:01
Behind the scenes, all of the notes
should be stored in a Room database.
1:07
And you should use a view model and
1:11
live data as well to make
sure the UI stays up to date.
1:13
All right, now it's your turn.
1:18
Also if you get stuck or have any issues,
1:20
there's some link to related videos
in the teacher's note below.
1:23
Good luck.
