NYTimes simple app to see the current best selling books of the week, based on their website
Time spent: 4 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- Live data is loaded from the NY Times API
- Books are displayed using a RecyclerView
- Book cover images are downloaded and displayed using Glide
The following optional features are implemented to help develop this app into something closer to the NY Times website:
- View elements are styled in the .xml files
- The "Buy" button successfully opens the page on Amazon
Resources:
- CodePath's AsyncHTTPClient library
- Displaying Images with Glide library
- Parsing JSON responses to Models
- Manually
- Automating with gson library
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:
