Chapter 2. Designing our App
In this chapter, we will think of an idea for an app and transform that idea into a real app, create a basic structure to be displayed on the screen, and choose an appropriate navigation pattern to move between them.
After taking a look at the most commonly used navigation pattern, we will proceed with implementing the tabs pattern composed by fragment and ViewPager.
During this, we will do a review of our knowledge of fragments to be able to explain the advanced concepts. We will also discuss the importance of FragmentManager and the fragments back-stack.
To finish, we will add some good-looking animations to our screen transitions. Therefore, we will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Selecting an app navigation pattern
- Mastering fragments
- Implementing tabs and ViewPager
- Animated transitions between screens
