If you take a look at good Android applications, you will notice that they have something in common. They serve a useful purpose such as providing entertainment or information and are pleasing to look at. Styling applications is an important part of the development cycle. Making applications pleasing to the eye can greatly improve its appeal. So far, the WattDroid application serves a useful purpose, but its appearance is not eye catching.
Currently, we are working to improve the styling of the WattDroid application in order to improve its overall quality. Our plan to improve the style of the application includes creating a more appealing application by customizing the list of sources, source information display, menus, and logo. After we are finished, we hope to create an application that has the look and feel of a professionally developed application.
I haven't had experience styling Android applications, so I am currently researching the ins and outs of the process. It is useful to look at the styling of other applications to get ideas of what can be done. Initially, I have been having some difficulty with the styling, but I am confident that I will be able to greatly improve WattDroid's look with a little more research. I will be posting screen shots of the newly styled pages as I complete them. I hope to have a couple of pages completed by Thursday, so check back later this week for screen shots.
