Summary

In this chapter, we explored a plethora of widgets, saw how to implement widgets in Java code without any XML layout, used our first anonymous classes to handle clicks on a widget, and put all our new widget prowess into a mini app.

In the next chapter, we will see a totally new UI element that we can't just drag and drop from the palette, but we will still have plenty of help from the Android API. Next up are dialog boxes. We will also make a start on our most significant app so far—the Note To Self, memo, to-do, and personal note app.
