Screenshots

This android app displays recent posts of a WordPress Blog called ScienceGlass.
It fetches JSON Data from WordPress Public API by using Volley library. Volley helps in fetching JSON data in a seperate background thread.
After this, the recieved JSON data is being parsed in the main ui thread. After JSON parsing the data is shown to the main user-interface of the app.
For displaying featured image of a post, Picasso library is used which takes image from url and loads it to the screen.
And finally, Androids WebView library is used to convert html content into relevant data to be loaded on the screen.

Users can set the number of recent post they want to see. For example, if a user sets his preference to three posts then the user is only shown three recent posts from the ScienceGlass blog
