Kotlin Fun Facts App
Golf Scorecard is a practice project where I implemented Android app development concepts I recently learnt. Concepts covered include Working with recyclerviews, Using SharedPrefences to persist data, Creating custom adapters and Creating an options menu.
The Kotlin Programming Language
Traffic app for Zimbabwean drivers but can be customised for any location. The app has two main functions which are (i) Drive Mode and (ii) Road status updates. Drive Mode allows the driver to permit the app to automatically inform a caller that they are driving and unable to answer attend to their call. Road status updates allows the driver to view real time updates about the status of road(s) in their location. It provides information like traffic volume, traffic lights status to mention just a few. Note that this project is ot yet complete, Drive mode can only detect incoming calls for now and the road status are available for only two locations, Harare and Bulawayo. These are hard coded as in Zimbabwe there is currently no technology to collect real time data about status of roads and highways. I made use of Firebase and created a database that lists some roads that are found in Harare and Bulawayo.
This is a project where I practice concepts I learnt on Treehouse Android Development Tracks. I am accessing a Studio Ghibli RESRFul API and using it to display information about their movies. Concepts I put into use include accessing RESTFul APIs, using OKHttp library, using Butterknife Library to list just a few. I will constantly update the project to implement new concepts I would have learnt.
