Yes, it is the perennial classic “Guess My Number 1 to 100” game that just about everyone has written.
Why did I write this?
Mainly, I’m teaching myself the view based xml ui for android.
This is how I do it.
By writing an entirely too simplistic game.
But now I know how to put resources correctly into xml files, how to grab widgets by id, and how to set text values on TextViews.
Of course, the thing still blows up if you don’t put anything into the edit box and press “Guess!”, but that’s a feature!
