QUESTION NO. 3 (Layout building)

For an eCommerce app, you would need a catalog screen to display all the products in one place. The
better the visual presentation, the more are the chances of the user buying the product. A designer’s
job is to form the catalog that will attract a user’s attention and encourage them to shop for a
product. You can offer the user to scroll through the list, just like several other eCommerce websites
and apps display it. The number of merchandise/products in one row can be decided according to the
breadth of the screen.

As a mobile application developer, propose an application that you think will help the user and, at the
same time, is advantageous to the company. Your design must have the following requirements:

a) Design the complete application using a storyboard and write down all important files to
create the activities mentioned in your storyboard. (maximum six (6) activities)

b) Based on your storyboard design, describe in detail all activities, intents (both explicit and
implicit) and User interface in the application and associate your answer with the files
mentioned in Question 3 (a). (hint: use view or view group components as per the need and
demand of the application.xml is NOT required).

c) Consider the requirement of application and decide if there is any need of adapter either list
or grid. Make a custom adapter (class name must be CustomAdapter) with calling and
registration statements. (with proper Commenting & Documentation)
