Baking app for Udacity Android Developer Nanodegree

Project Overview

You will productionize an app, taking it from a functional state to a production-ready state. This will involve finding and handling error cases, adding accessibility features, allowing for localization, adding a widget, and adding a library.

Why this Project?

As a working Android developer, you often have to create and implement apps where you are responsible for designing and planning the steps you need to take to create a production-ready app. Unlike Popular Movies where we gave you an implementation guide, it will be up to you to figure things out for the Baking App.

What I Learned

  • Use MediaPlayer/Exoplayer to display videos.
  • Handle error cases in Android.
  • Add a widget to your app experience.
  • Leverage a third-party library in your app.
  • Use Fragments to create a responsive design that works on phones and tablets.
  • Use of Espresso to test aspects of the UI

App Description

Your task is to create a Android Baking App that will allow Udacity’s resident baker-in-chief, Miriam, to share her recipes with the world. You will create an app that will allow a user to select a recipe and see video-guided steps for how to complete it.

Libraries

  • Retrofit for REST api communication
  • ExoPlayer for playing media locally and over the Internet
  • Picasso for image loading
  • Butterknife for field and method binding for Android views
