Joker (Build It Bigger)

An app with multiple flavors that uses multiple libraries and Google Could Endpoints developed by me for the fourth stage (Gradle for Android and Java) of Android Nanodegree Program.

App evaluated and graded as “Exceeds Specifications” by certified Udacity code reviewer.

Features

The app consists of four modules:

Java library that provides jokes
Google Could Endpoints (GCE) project that serves those jokes
Android Library containing an activity for displaying jokes
Android app that fetches jokes from the GCE module and passes them to the Android Library for display

Why this Project?

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.

What I Have Learned?

During this project, I:

Added free and paid flavors to an app, and set up the build to share code between them
Factored reusable functionality into a Java library
Factored reusable Android functionality into an Android library
Configured a multi project build to compile my libraries and app
Used the Gradle App Engine plugin to deploy a backend
Configured an integration test suite that runs against the local App Engine development server
Added interstitial ad to free flavor
