Update on Flipulator Free.

Twenty-one days ago, I published a version of the Flipulator Free app to the Google Play Store.  The changes I added included a low profit alert and an addition of a budget items entry (list of repair items).  Shortly after I published it, I noticed that my current installs began to stagnate and later decrease.  I began to realize that I did not implement the budget items properly.  I originally designed the budget items to be side-by-side like the rest of my entries but that was before I realized that was not a good idea.  This was my original design:

What I needed to do was to turn the EditText into something that will allow the user to see all of the budget items being entered.  The first thing I did was to split the Budget Items layout into two layouts (one for the TextView and one for the EditText).  I set the TextView layout to a shorter layout height with a significantly longer layout height for the EditText.  I also set the inputType attribute to textMultiLine to indicate that this will accommodate a list of items.  I also set the lines and maxLines attributes to 4 and the minLines attribute to 2.  I set the gravity attribute to "top|left" to ensure that the EditText box starts at the top left corner.  Lastly, I set the scrollbars attribute to vertical to ensure that the list goes from top to bottom.  Once that was done, my Calculate window now looks like this:

But now I encounter a problem when I want to select a rehab class, I do not have the ability to scroll down to enter the budget or to select a rehab type without pressing the Submit button.  The easiest solution for me was to place a blank view beneath the rehab budget entry to ensure that the user would be able to scroll down to enter the rehab budget/type.  Once I am done, my Calculate window now looks like this:

I also copied the budget items entry from the Calculate window to the Results window so that the user can see what they entered was correct.  I added a blank view beneath the budget items entry like I did before to ensure that the user will be able to scroll down to see everything and I also set the background color to the AdView and to the view next to the Edit button to create a sense of uniformity.  Once I was done, my Results window looks like this (part 1):

And when you scroll down, you get this (part 2):

I have committed my changes on GitHub and have published my latest update to the Google Play Store for you to download and share with other real estate investors/realtors.  Please stay tuned to this channel for more updates regarding this app as well as the Premium version which is coming soon to the Play Store.
