IT 372 -- Project 1b

• App Specs:  Create a Java class named RandomItem that contains an instance method such as getItem that returns a random quote, joke, riddle, or interesting fact. Also include a method that adds an item to a NotableItem class object, such as addItem.  See the Magic8Ball Example. When your class is working, use it in an app to display a random a random item in a TextView control. Use the LinearLayout layout. When your app is able to display the random item, add an event handler so that a random item is redisplayed when the linear layout is clicked.  The random quote should be chosen from a sample set of at least 8 quotes, but not more than 12.
  
  Display the app title at the top of your app. The title string should be defined in the string.txt file.
  
  Do not include a main method in your RandomItem class. The current version of Android Studio cannot successfully run main methods.
  
  Set properties of the LinearLayout and TextView controls to set colors and position the widgets.
