A few months ago I wanted to check out Android Studio for developing Android apps. I’ve been using NetBeans with a third-party plugin to make my apps. The best way to learn a new development environment is to start a new project, so I decided to start work on a complete rewrite of Flavordex.

It’s getting close to being ready for release. It just needs some polishing.

Here’s a few of the biggest changes from the original Flavordex:

• It’s a single app with categories instead of separate apps for each type of journal
• Ability to customize categories as well as creating new categories
• Many improvements to the interface, especially for tablets

Here’s a little preview of the app on a tablet.

Android Studio is definitely a huge improvement in the development process. Everything is integrated into the environment and it just works. I’ve also converted my existing projects.
