- Project contains a Java library for supplying jokes
- Project contains an Android library with an activity that displays jokes passed to it as intent extras.
- Project contains a Google Cloud Endpoints module that supplies jokes from the Java library. Project loads jokes from GCE module via an async task.
- Project contains connected tests to verify that the async task is indeed loading jokes.
- Project contains paid/free flavors. The paid flavor has no ads, and no unnecessary dependencies.
- App retrieves jokes from Google Cloud Endpoints module and displays them via an Activity from the Android Library.
Once you have a functioning project, consider adding more features to test your Gradle and Android skills. Here are a few suggestions:
- Make the free app variant display interstitial ads between the main activity and the joke-displaying activity.
- Have the app display a loading indicator while the joke is being fetched from the server.
- Write a Gradle task that starts the GCE dev server, runs all the Android tests, and shuts down the dev server.
