First and foremost, Project DD is still alive, but will probably not make the initial targeted release date which was this spring/summer. My ability to allocate hours to this project is very very limited for the moment and will so be for the next couple of months. But last weekend I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours which I am thankful for. As for how the project is progressing I have now settled on the app's overall architecture.
- The "navigation drawer pattern" will be used for top level navigation.
- A main activity will act as the content frame for which UI fragments will be switched in and out.
- App data will be powered by a sqlite database.
I am currently working on UI for displaying stats and information about a specific hero.
My idea here is to implement some sort of blur and a small parallax effect to a background image of the hero when the user scrolls (see screenshots below). I think it is a neat effect and suitable in this context.
