Share your knowledge with us and Exzeo will learn from it

Use any IDE you prefer or code from the bare skeleton (if you have enough time :-) )

#####Our choices

• Eclipse - https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
• Android Studio - https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
• Eclipse ADT - https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

A piece of cake to warm you up

• Design a login screen that will support portrait and landscape mode both
• Mobile devices will only support landscape mode
• Tab devices will be supporting landscape and portrait mode both
• If a user hits the login button, a login service will be called and a progress bar will be shown
• Correct/Incorrect Login details are shared in the json format.

The Big Picture of Design and Code (next Steps)

• There are two different views for landscape and portrait
• The views will change based on your device orientation
• The login service will not be called twice or thrice or n number of times if, a service is running and user rotates the device from portrait to landscape and vice versa

#####We are always ready to share the logic or we can cheat from you ha.. ha.. ha..!

• Don't forget to enable lint for the optimised code
• json folder provided the structure for the login service login_success.json login_failure.json
• To simulate the login service you can put the json files in raw folder
• To simulate the delay in the network put wait logic within the thread for some seconds
• If the username and password matches with details from login_success.json, user will be redirected to the welcome screen
• You can use the login_failure.json if no user exists or server returns the result but not the expected
• Don't update UI from the background code

Add-on if time permits or you are eager to show your passion

• Use relative layout for multiple screen handling
• Use retrofit or OkHttp for Login service
