OCTranspoLive: A live OCTranspo GPS bus location application for ...

This Activity class extends ListActivity and implements the list selection listeners.The ArrayAdapter class called MainMenuArrayAdapter provides the list adapterfor the MainViewActivity class. The rows in MainMenuArrayAdapter use a layoutspecifying a LinearLayout composed of an ImageView on the left side followed by aTextView. I found the default look of rows in a ListView to not be visually appealingso I opted to create a custom drawable to use for the rows.rowView . setBackgroundResource (R. drawable . customshape ) ;This gives the list items in MainViewActivity the attractive rounded corners thatcan be seen in Figure 2. One of my goals for this project was to make the userinterface as simple and visually appealing as possible. I believe providing the userwith only a few clearly seperated options in the main menu achieves the simplicityand usability I had in mind.Figure 2: Main menu15
