A perfect Android app
for road trips
An android app that uses your location to determine if you are in the vicinity of any US national parks
w/ an optional widget for easy access
Recently, I was driving through some interesting mountains and wondered if they were part of some park. Searching through google will do the job but this did get me thinking. I decided to make an app for nature lovers, espcially since the National Park Service offers a free API. The features I want to implement should be excellent practice for improving my skills, and this is what undoubtedly will be occupying my free time for the next few months.
The project will likely have the following features/tech:
-- MVVM architecture (live data, ViewModels, Interfaces, etc.)
-- Google Maps API for navigation
-- National Parks API
-- Viewbinding to avoid calling components programically
-- Retrofit for Typesafe API calls
-- Unit tests with Expresso
-- Widget for your home screen
