Expense Tracker basic design.

After getting my development environment setup using instructions from the android developers site, I have set about designing my first android app.

The main use case I have for this app is to keep track of the things I spend during the day so that they can be brought back to  my home computer and added to Quicken.

The features that I want are:

  • Track date, note and amount for each purchase.
  • Looks good in both layout and portrait
  • preserves data across sessions of using it.
  • delete single items or all items from a context menu.
  • total values at bottom.
Here is a quick hack of a drawing of what I want the basic interface to look like.

Next post should start with creating the basic app and getting the data structure working.
