This project is part of the Android Developer Nanodegree on Udacity.
In this project, we created an app with multiple flavors that uses multiple libraries and Google Cloud Endpoints. The finished app will consist of four modules. A Java library that provides jokes, a Google Cloud Endpoints (GCE) project that serves those jokes, an Android Library containing an activity for displaying jokes, and an Android app that fetches jokes from the GCE module and passes them to the Android Library for display.
As Android projects grow in complexity, it becomes necessary to customize the behavior of the Gradle build tool, allowing automation of repetitive tasks. Particularly, factoring functionality into libraries and creating product flavors allow for much bigger projects with minimal added complexity.
- Contains a Java library for supplying jokes.
- Contains an Android library with an activity that displays jokes passed to it as intent extras.
- Contains a Google Cloud Endpoints module that supplies jokes from the Java library. Project loads jokes from GCE module via an AsyncTask.
- Contains connected tests to verify that the AsyncTask is indeed loading jokes.
- Contains paid/free flavors. The paid flavor has no ads and no unnecessary dependencies.
- Ads are required in the free version.
- App retrieves jokes from Google Cloud Endpoints module and displays them via an Activity from the Android Library.
- Gradle task that starts the GCE dev server, runs all the Android tests, and shuts down the dev server.
