My Portfolio
Required Tasks
Download Android Studio. Check out our mini-course on How to Download Android Studio if you need help.
Create a new project in Android Studio using the "Application with blank activity" template.
Create a layout for your main activity, adding a title, buttons for each app, and a style of your choosing.
You can begin working in either the text view or design view (whichever you prefer) within Android Studio's Layout Editor.
Here is a screenshot of the Design View, for those of you who are new to Android Studio.
Note that if you start in the design view, it's often a best practice to return to the text view to make final tweaks as this mode offers the most precision and control over your layout attributes.
Feel free to use this mockup as a guide:

Colors and Styles
When designing your layout for the project portfolio, you may enjoy customizing the style and color of your buttons and changing the layout. If you are interested in learning about colors you can use, take a look at the material design color page, from Google.
If you'd like your app to look Udacious, feel free to use #F08C35 to match the orange buttons on our site.
In the Java source for your main activity, enable your buttons to respond to click or touch events.
Display a toast within the methods you created in the last step.
You should see a message like this whenever a button is clicked!
