Temperature Conversion

Un convertisseur de température Fahrenheit / Celsius très simple.

This application is dedicated to the Programming Merit Badge Counselors that taught JAVA to the Scouts at Summer Camp 2015.

We then went to Boy Scout Summer Camp with the Troop. At camp, I sat in on a couple of Merit Badge sessions with the Scouts in the troop. One session was for the Programming Merit Badge (http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/MeritBadges/mb-PROG.aspx).

The Merit Badge counselors were going over JAVA programming with the Scouts that day. They were working on a very simple temperature conversion application (http://boyslife.org/about-scouts/merit-badge-resources/programming/42481/java/). The Scouts were working on static variables, if statements, loops and input & output. The counselors covered roughly three weeks of a college JAVA course in that session. The Scouts were captivated, excited to learn what they were being taught and were able to extrapolate, troubleshoot and improve the application during this session.

At the end of the session, the counselors said, “Your app is done.” To this, a Scout asked, “Can I run this on my phone?” The counselors said, “It isn’t that kind of app, this will only run on a PC.”

This prompted me to convert this simple application from Programming Merit Badge into this Android App.

UPDATE: We added a new graphic that highlights where the decimal point / negative sign button is located. Both decimal & negative decimal numbers can be converted.

This App is free and Ad Free. Designed to run on an Android Phone. It will run on a tablet but will be unappealing.
