Gennaro is an Italian art historian who loves programming. He was selected for the Google Developer Challenge Scholarship and is now learning Android development. The document describes Gennaro's first Android app, which is a simple homage to painter Peter Paul Rubens. The app features a background image from one of Rubens' paintings, a fake text view of Rubens' signature created from an edited image, and text views displaying Rubens' birth and death dates.

Hi! My name is Gennaro. Im an Italian Art Historian. I love programming. I experimented web design (HTML, CSS, JS) and I tried Python too. Recently I have been selected to join the Google Developer Challenge Scholarship and now Im getting in touch with Android. The following slides will show you the birth of my first Android App.
Rubens is my favourite painter. I love his artistic courage to express the sublime and the awful both in the same painting. My first App is an Hommage to Him.
It has a very simple structure. I am a beginner and I would rather stay comfortable than risk something new. It is made by a background with a detail from a painting (ImageView), the name of the artist as a signature (fake TextView, its a ImageView), his birth and death dates (TextView).
I took the background from the library of Europeana, among the pictures with free licence. Its the painting with Daniel in the Lions' Den (from the National Gallery in Washington). Iv cut the pic in order to work with a more significant detail.
The ImageView is extended for the whole surface of the background. <ImageView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:src=/slideshow/rubens-app/81902494/"@drawable/rubens" android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
I took the Rubens signature from the web. In order to use it, I edited the pic, deleting the background . Now the Fake TextView is ready!
The ImageView is Set to a fixed size and located on the top of the screen. <ImageView android:layout_width="300dp" android:layout_height="150dp" android:paddingBottom="10dp" android:src=/slideshow/rubens-app/81902494/"@drawable/piet" />
At last the TextView with the dates of birth and death of Rubens. Theyre positioned below the signature. <TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="20sp" android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light" android:textColor="@android:color/whit e" android:text="(1577-1640)" android:layout_marginTop="80dp" android:layout_marginLeft="50dp" />
The App is ready. Thats all folks! ;)
