Incorporating the API into my existing project

Primary LanguageJava

Article One

An application to locate and communicate with congressional representatives.

To Run:

  • Install Android Studio
  • Clone this repository from Git Hub
  • Open Android Studio and choose to open an existing project.

This project uses the ProPublica Congress API.

Synopsis

As of June 19, 2017 the application is in an acceptable state for presentation as an MVP.

Things that need to be addressed and polished are below:

  • Tighter styling.
  • Experiment with a different font-family and color palette.
  • Experiment with different layouts.
  • Basic user testing.
  • How to make a second API call in conjunction with the first.
  • To make the second call refactoring into one class model needs to occur.
  • The app needs to be a communication bridge that can link users with reps - social media via implicit intents would be part of phase two and dependent on that second api call.
