This project is a chance for me to combine and practice everything I learned in the Udacity Nanodegree program. I will be making an app that lists books.
The goal is to design and create the structure of a Book Listing app which would allow a user to get a list of published books on a given topic. I will be using the google books api in order to fetch results and display them to the user.
This project gives you the ability to practice how to get data from an api, how to parse that data and display it to a user, which will be key in developing any app which makes use of a backend server, real time data, or interactions over the internet.
This project is about combining various ideas and skills we’ve been practicing throughout the course. They include:
-
Fetching data from an API
-
Using an AsyncTask
-
Parsing a JSON response
-
Creating a list based on that data and displaying it to the user.
