Converting VB6 to Android: Die Roller - Finishing it off

I'll try to keep this short.  I added a custom keyboard, a listview to display results, and began converting the dice roller code into (poorly designed) objects.

Converting VB6 to Android: Die Roller - Basic to Java


We've got the project set up, and we've got a UI ready to go.  So now we need to add some code to the button.  We already have the routine from the last post, but all it does now is log a message.  Now we're going to have that routine actually do some work.

Converting VB6 to Android: Die Roller - UI

In this post, we'll continue converting the dice roller VB6 application to an android app.  In the last post, we set up the framework of a basic android application, set the project name and title, and defined the custom icon.  In this one, we'll start on setting up the UI.

Converting VB6 to Android: Die Roller

I mentioned quite a while back that I was going to start converting some of my old VB6 apps to Android.  That post wasn't really helpful, just a slice-of-my-life type thing, but I've noticed that it is the most viewed post I have.  I've done a few other conversion since, but just as tests, not complete apps.  So, I'm going to walk you through conversion of one of my old VB6 apps from start to finish, and explain exactly what I do.  You'll be learning Android programming (along with me) from the standpoint of a VB6 programmer.  I'll try to throw in c# references as well, but that won't be the focus, simply because that's not what the original post was about.
