FAD FLICKS
Naming the App
I tried to find a unique name to this application. I thought of PoMos, but that would be misleading or incomprehensible or "making them think is this guy crazy?". So I checked for synonyms for popular and movies. Turns out Fad and Flicks kind of stick together. Ugh but this is not what I learnt in this project.
What did I learn?
Android stuff
- AsyncTasks.
- Fragments. Just a little.
- Network calls.
- SharedPreferences.
- GridView. After all not that scary.
- CustomAdapters.
- Using Open-source libraries.
- Coordinator layout and about scroll flags
- A bit about Material design.
- SnackBars.
Non-Android stuff
- Git. Seriously, I feel more comfortable with it now. There is a lot to learn though.
- Debugging. Instead of creating hundreds of log messages better use the built-in android studio debugger.
- How to properly edit README.md file.
- I'll add more later.
