Better Call Saul is an Android app where users can look up legal services through Yelp and view them in a detail-view. This is an app to learn new Android skills. Current features I've implemented include: Retrofit and a CollapsingToolbar.
To-Do: Add landscape views
Future features for continued learning:
- MVP architecture
- Shared-element Activity transition
- GcmTaskService
- LoaderManager
- SQLiteOpenHelper
- StateListDrawable
