EasterEggPaintPot

I spent way to much time on this App. I had a really hard time letting anything go. As always (circumlocution) several methods exist to accomplish the desired end. Originally I thought I would need to make six different screens in order to provide six different egg backgrounds for my colorers. I even went so far as to copy all of my bars into the backpack. The idea of six different screens annoyed me so much, I looked again at the "set drawingcanvas background bar". I had looked at it before, but couldn't find any puzzle pieces that would allow me to connect a specific image. I looking through my previous apps, I realized that the "text" field was actually for setting custom variables. I was able to simply write what I wanted as the image back ground.

My other issue was centering. Most of that was fixed by appropriately selecting automatic sizing, or fill parent.

I think I may do another custom paint pot in the future using original drawings. A powwow or Native themed paint pot sounds cool.
