How to Create Your Own Trivia Game
Trivia games are very appreciated by mobile users because they allow them to spend their time on their mobile devices without feeling guilty that they are procrastinating instead of doing something more useful. This fact represents a great advantage for trivia app owners, but at the same time, it is very challenging to make a trivia mobile application of your very own that can stand out and tops the charts. To make the process easier and subtle enough, we have compiled a guide that will help you throughout the process. We’re going to try make things as simple as possible to help enrich your understanding of the overall trivia mobile app development process.
How to Make Your Own Trivia Mobile App?
For the Android app developer, user interface (UI) is key. Your app may boast cutting-edge functionality, but if it’s wrapped in an unappealing UI, it is unlikely that users will stick around long enough to discover just how great your app really is. This tutorial provides a hand’s on, crash course in building an effective UI, using the example of a simple quiz app.
1. Define a RelativeLayout
A RelativeLayout is a flexible layout that allows you to organize UI elements in relation to one another, making it particularly useful for developers who need fine-grained control over the exact positioning of their UI components.
2. Designing for Multiple Screens:
As an open source operating system, Android crops up on all sorts of devices, and is the OS of choice for many different manufacturers – it’s no longer even restricted to smartphones! This presents both exciting opportunities and headache-inducing challenges for Android developers. When developing your UI, keep in mind that your app needs to display correctly across as many devices as possible.
3. Creating ImageButtons
The first step of creating an ImageButton is to add the required images to your project. Again, because you want your device to display correctly across a range of screens, you should provide four versions of each image. We’ll start with the ‘2003’ button, so drag and drop the four versions of your ‘2003’ image into the corresponding folders.
4. Making Your App Accessible
The ContentDescrition attribute makes applications more accessible to users who cannot easily consume graphical content, by providing an alternate text description. This description can be used by screen readers and similar accessibility tools.
5. Making Your App Interactive
Your UI may be finished, but there’s one final step: letting the user know whether they’ve selected the correct answer. The easiest way to make buttons ‘tappable’ is by implementing the android:onClick property for each button.
- Adding Built-in Sharing Option:
From our variety of case studies, we’ve seen that Facebook quizzes are one of the surest, most inexpensive ways of generating leads. When you can combine a highly-shareable quiz with a great ad campaign, you notch up that lead count even further.
Conclusion
Trivia quizzes might be perfect for your audience. Remember that the best quizzes combine audience interest with a topic that people like to test their knowledge on. If you find the right fit, the results (in terms of leads and engagement) can be significant.The combination of fun and expertise that having a trivia quiz to your name communicates can also be excellent for your brand.
