You will productionize an app, taking it from a functional state to a production-ready state. This will involve finding and handling error cases, adding accessibility features, allowing for localization, adding a widget and adding a library.
As a working Android developer, you often have to create and implement apps where you are responsible for designing and planning the steps you need to take to create a production-ready app. Unlike Popular Movies where we gave you an implementation guide, it will be up to you to figure things out for the Baking App.
In this project you will:
- Use MediaPlayer/ExoPlayer to display videos.
- Handle error cases in Android.
- Add a widget to your app experience.
- Leverage a third party library in your app.
- Use fragments to create a responsive design that works on phones and tablets.
Your task is to create an Android Baking App that will allow Udacity's resident baker-in-chef, Miriam, to share her recipes with the world. You will create an app that will allow a user to select a recipe and see video-guided steps for how to complete it.
The recipe listing is located here.
The JSON file contains the recipes' instructions, ingredients, videos and images you will need to complete this project. Don't assume that all steps of the recipe have a video. Some may have a video, an image, or no visual media at all.
One of the skills you will demonstrate in this project is how to handle unexpected input in your data -- professional developers often cannot expect polished JSON data when building an app.
