IT 372 -- Project 3a

Create and Test Kotlin NoteableItem Class

• Project Specs: Create the Kotlin class NoteableItems that you will use for Project 3c. Project 3c will be the Jetpack Compose version of your Project 1b. Your NoteableItems class should implement the items in this UML diagram:
  

  +------------------------------------+
  |             NoteableItems          |   
  +------------------------------------+
  | - items: MutableList<String>       |
  +------------------------------------+
  | + NoteableItems( ) : NoteableItems |
  | + addItem(item : String)           |
  | + getItem( ) : String              |
  | + toString( ) : String             |
  +------------------------------------+
  

  The toString method was probably not in your Project 1b Java version, but you should include and test it for this project.
• Use a MutableList collection to hold your notable items, not a Java array or ArrayList collection. This is important if you let Android Studio translate your class from Java to Kotlin. Also, do not use Kotlin nullable types or variables declared with lateinit unless you include a comment explaining why they are necessary.
• If you do let Android Studio perform the translation, be sure that you understand the resulting Kotlin code.
• Test your NoteableItems class first with the Kotlin Playground and then in an Android Views app with the language set to Kotlin. Test all the public methods. You choose whether to show the output in the Logcat window or in a TextView widget.
• Deliverable: Zip file of Android Project
• Grading Breakdown: Functionality of NoteableItems class: 45%; App that tests NoteableItems class: 30%; Source code comments: 10%; Source code headers: 5%; Project correctly named (Proj3aSmith): 5%; Uses Android Studio to create zip file: 5%.
