Related Course Outcomes:

LO2 -- Write a mobile application that involves GUI components and makes use of touch events to manipulate these components.

LO3 -- Write a mobile application that uses the mobile devices Networking or Telephony APIs.

Specification:

For this homework you will write an app with two views in any given orientation. Your app should draw nicely in any orientation and if possible animate transitions between views and orientations. For a fixed orientation, in either view, there should be a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. One of the two views is used to display five fortunes in a table view (iPhone)/ table layout or ListView (Android). These fortunes are gotten each time the view is displayed by going to the web page: http://pollett.org/fortune/. The button in this view should read: Time. Clicking on Time switches to the second view for a given orientation. This view's toolbar's button should read: Fortune and go back to the fortune views. The time view when before it is first displayed should use the DAYTIME protocol RFC 867 to get the time from the atomic clock at time-a.nist.gov. i.e., it just needs to open a connection to this site on port 13 and read what is sent back. Once it has gotten the time it just displays it in the view updating the time each second.
