Create an Android application of your choice. For Java, you will create a graphical user interface using the CodeName One Designer tool. For C# you will create a user interface or active server page using Xamarin, and for web development you will create a webpage using JavaScript (Apache Cordova supports HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript).

Mobile app should contain at least one form. The form should contain at least one control/element. The user should be able to interact with the app in some simple way that causes a noticeable change in the display.

Take two screenshots for submission. One showing the state of the app’s display before interaction from the user and one showing the display after the user has invoked a change in the display. (Hint: The change could be anything such as a button that changes color or text when clicked or a message displayed in a text box when a button is clicked, etc.)
