If I had to describe this project in three (3) emojis, they would be: 👾🪐📅
The following REQUIRED features are completed:
- Make an API call to an API of your choice using AsyncHTTPClient
- Implement a RecyclerView to display a list of entries from the API
- Display at least three (3) pieces of data for each RecyclerView item
- Use a downloadable font with custom color and size
- Modify the theme of the app in
themes.xml - Define and apply at least one style in either
themes.xmlor a new filestyles.xml
The following STRETCH features are implemented:
- Add a UI element for the user to interact with API further
The following EXTRA features are implemented:
- Error Handling and a Restart Button to allow the user to search multiple times
Here's a video / GIF that demos all of the app's implemented features:

In this unit I made a functional app from scratch on Andriod Studio. I learned how to use recycler views, API's, and styles to change the appearance of the app.
