BookListingApp

Project which comes under Udacity Android Basics Nanodegree Program

Project Overview

The goal is to design and create the structure of a Book Listing app which would allow a user to get a list of published books on a given topic. You will be using the google books api in order to fetch results and display them to the user.

Why this project?

I learned about the web and about how to get data from an api. I also learned how to parse that data and display it to a user. This project gives me the ability to practice those skills, which will be key in developing any app which makes use of a backend server, real time data, or interactions over the internet.

What will I learn?

This project is about combining various ideas and skills we’ve been practicing throughout the course. They include:

  1. Fetching data from an API
  2. Using an AsyncTask
  3. Parsing a JSON response
  4. Creating a list based on that data and displaying it to the user.

Requirements

To achieve this, I'll make use of the Google Books API. This is a well-maintained API which returns information in a JSON format. An example query that we found useful was :

https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=android&maxResults=1
