THIS IS NOT AFFILIATED TO NPR IN ANY CAPACITY. This is a community project and an avid fan that wants a better Android App

Open Source NPR Community Android App

The purpose of this app is to make the Android experience for NPR cleaner and more user friendly adding in queues as well as caching for images and files locally to remove the terrible buffering that the NPR One app has. This is just some of problems with a few enhancements that I will be adding.

This repo needs a lot more love so please feel free to contribute. Below is a list of features I have been working on and plan on working on. This app in its current form is not read for production.

Using this app

You need to setup your own Auth2.0 Server. Lucky for you I already have done that if you go to my other repo here and set this up you should be good to go!

After that simply clone this repo and start messing around.

I use a Samsung, so that is my targeted platform.

In the works: Some thins I would like to do and are planning on doing

__ Overall Goals:

• Refactoring a lot of the Code
• Testing - I need to add it

Immediate Goals:

• (More option) for more podcast
• Notifications listen for updates
• Previous button Queue

Long Term not as important goals, but have been on my mind...

• Testing

  • Any sort of testing... got to get on that for some stability. I have been more interested in developing features for now... I know that is not the best form of coding, but I will eventually get onto testing.

• Shows Fragment

  • Implement loading when click on shows
