This application is a part of self learning to the Android Application development. The following details were explored in this application.
- Skinning applications, buttons etc
- Custom Adapter for a List View
- Calling a web service and parsing the response
- Check if Internet connection is available
- Moving between activities
- Passing custom objects between activities
- Sharing content
- Different layouts used in Android (and how to optimally use them)
That's a good number of features to learn using a simple application.
