Expense tracker part 2. Beginning with the interface.

So, I followed the directions to create a basic app at the android developers site. I wont more you with the details as the directions are pretty simple. To keep it simple I picked all the defaults and picked android 2.2 as my target.  I will probably be able to roll this back a bit based on the features I plan to use.

So I've decided to start with the interface and work back from there.  I've worked up this /res/layouts/main.xml based on the image from this post.

Syntax Highlighter seems to like have full close tags in it. go figure.

It ends up looking like this in the gui tool.

It doesn't look like much but the fields are all in the right location.  The alternating color listview is going to be handled programatically with a custom listview.  I can't see any other way of handling that.

I guess that's about it for this chapter.  Next I'll start on the application internals.
