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.
