Stuck in global structure of my quiz app

B8787 · September 20th, 2012, 12:19 PM

Hi all, I recently started programming in Android, and as a beginning project I am trying to build a logo quiz app. The idea: You see a splash screen after opening the app (play game - about). Play game takes you to a new activity called LevelSelector.java where you can choose the level you want to play. Clicking on a level takes you to another new Activity Level.java.
I created a SQLite db with 20 questions in it which I install with a DBHelper.java class, every question also has a level column.

However, I get lost in my global structure. Since I work with different levels I don't want to make a new class for every level. I guess I have to make some kind of instance of a seperated class, or how can I solve this? I guess I lost the overview due to my lack of programming in android, but I figured the best way to learn it is (after I watched tutorials) to build an app myself..

Hope somebody can help me out!

At first Level isn't a good name for your third activity. I would have named it GameActivity. The GameActivity class will contain an instance of a Game class, which will wrap all information about the game. Level would be a field of this class. You could create an enum for the level:

Code:

public enum Level {
   EASY = 0,
   MEDIUM = 1,
   HARD = 2
}

public class Game {

  private Level level;

  public Game(Level level) {
     this.level = level;
  }

}
