This app is built to showcase how to connect to a REST api endpoint (such as github), populate a nice ListView with the fetched information
I've used the following libraries to ease development:
- Android Async HTTP for doing asynchronous HTTP requests with JSON parsing
- Android Universal Image Loading for loading avatars and stuff
The application is very simple and straightforward. On launch it will:
- Connect to http://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/
- Parses the returned JSON and extracts some information to show
- Populates a ListView and shows the information to the user
