Baking App Project (UDACITY Android Developer Nanodegree)

Phone version	Tablet version

Project Overview

The aim of this project was to utilize a json source of data from the network and create an app based on this data, which is in a production ready state, capable of finding and handling error cases, adding accessibility features, allowing for localization, adding a widget, and adding a library.

What is exhibited in this project?

In this project there is:

• Usage of MediaPlayer/Exoplayer to display videos.
• Handling error cases in Android.
• Addition of a widget.
• Leverage of a third-party library.
• Usage of fragments to create a responsive design that works on phones and tablets.

App Description

The task was to create a Android Baking App that allows Udacity’s resident baker-in-chief, Miriam, to share her recipes with the world. The user selects a recipe and see video-guided steps for how to complete it.

The recipe listing is located here.

The JSON file contains the recipes' instructions, ingredients, videos and images. Some may have a video, an image, or no visual media at all. One of the skills demonstrated in this project is how to handle unexpected input in the data -- professional developers often cannot expect polished JSON data when building an app.
