Looking for someone with basic eclipse skills that can write up a program that simply displays a welcome screen, loads to a home screen with two mode buttons (essentially an on/off or yes/no switch) then has a drop down menu and a go button..

Open
Splash screen
Mode selection
Drop down menu with selections
Press go and it takes you to what you selected.

Been a while since I did some programming since I have been working on my Education degree, but this sounds like a good project to refresh my skills on. I'd be happy to give it a whirl.

Just a few questions: What are the requirements (beyond what you already have)? You have mentioned doing Android apps before, so do I need to be worried about storage/memory/processor constraints? How soon do you need it? I'm a little busy this next week, but my schedule clears up a little after that.

Just let me know what you need and when, and I'll do what I can.

Clarification on these steps please? What needs to be in the drop-down? Where is the data coming from? What do you mean by "takes you to what you selected"?

Also, what are you expecting this to be? Just a normal Swing program that'll run on any standard J2EE install or an Android app (since you previously talked about Android stuff)?

I have to keep it vague in the public forum but the "on/off" switch would be a mode selection.

A / B

Selecting A would give you options for A1, A2, A3, A4 and so on. Selecting B would give you options for B1, B2, etc.

Data would be coming from the app as each selection is simple text. The app would be strictly Android so it'd preferably be made in Eclipse IDE.

Would the data be dynamically generated? Stored in a database? Stored in plain-text files? Hard-coded into the program?

So you know, Eclipse is an incredibly versatile IDE that can be used for developing many different languages on many different platforms. The reason I asked about the platform is because making a Java GUI for a normal J2EE (the version of Java for normal computers) install to display and making a Java GUI for Android are very different processes.

Personally I don't have any experience developing for Android, but these questions I'm asking are the kind of information that whoever does this will need to know.
