Solar You by Phoebe Lin is an Android application that easily converts the age or weight of a user on one planet to another. The planets that this application supports include: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
On opening the application, users are presented with a screen that first asks them to choose either to convert their age or their weight in the form of two radio buttons. If a user does not choose one of two options and hits "Convert!", the application will notify him or her in the form of a toast.
Then the user can input either their age or weight. For this example, let's say they chose weight. The input is limited to numbers only so users will be unable to type in letters. If the user does not input a number and hits "Convert!" the application will notify them to type something first in the form of a toast, again.
Then, there are two drop down menus following that indicate a "from" selection and a "to" selection. This represents where the user specifies from which planet he or she wants their weight (or age) converted to the next planet.
Afterwards, the user hits "Convert!" to complete the task. The application displays the conversion at the bottom of the screen.
