Now, we know that how our design is looking so the next steps you're going to take is to be make an app. for that you have to open android studio make a project. You can just watch the video for better understanding. You don't need to do anything just copy paste prompt inside android studio agent. Nothing else you do just copy and paste that's all. You can also watch a video if you don't know, you can watch first video then you can copy the prompt.
You are an expert Android developer.
Create a Daily Quotes app screen using Jetpack Compose and Kotlin.
The UI should closely match the provided design reference.

3. How I Can add More Features in this App?
Now, we are going to add more features so that this app looks good till now what we did, we did not use any coding or we don't know how to build at all. We just copy and paste take help from AI tool and that's how we build this one now same thing you did to prompt just copy that prompt and paste it inside. Enter studio agent mode once you do that you'll get the app here you can first watch the video and then put the prompt that we given below the video and that's how you can get an app for yourself.
The Daily Quotes app already works with:
- Jetpack Compose
- Kotlin
- ViewModel
- Fake quote list
- "Next Quote" button
Now modify the logic to support:
DAILY QUOTE MODE
------------------------------------
GOAL
------------------------------------
- Show ONE quote per day
- The quote must stay the same all day
- Automatically change when the date changes
- No database
- No internet
- No SharedPreferences needed
------------------------------------
IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
------------------------------------
1️⃣ In QuoteViewModel:
- Keep the existing list of QuoteUiModel
- Remove random or next-quote cycling logic
2️⃣ Create a function:
private fun getDailyQuote(): QuoteUiModel
3️⃣ Inside that function:
- Get current date using:
LocalDate.now()
- Convert date to a number:
val dayNumber = today.toEpochDay()
- Compute index:
val index = (dayNumber % quotes.size).toInt()
- Return quotes[index]
4️⃣ On ViewModel init:
- Set currentQuote = getDailyQuote()
------------------------------------
BUTTON BEHAVIOR
------------------------------------
- "Next Quote" button should now:
- Refresh using getDailyQuote()
OR
- Show a message:
"Come back tomorrow for a new quote"
Keep implementation simple.
------------------------------------
OUTPUT EXPECTATION
------------------------------------
- App builds successfully
- Quote stays same on app restart
- Quote changes automatically next day
- No database used
- Clean ViewModel logic
- Beginner-friendly code
After Completing that add this prompt on android studio agent
