Record Store Android App

Android app for use with recordstoreAPI

Description

This Android app is a work in progress.

The app allows user to perform the following functionality on the record store database:

1. Browse all albums
2. Add a new album
3. Update or Delete an existing album (via clickthrough)
4. Filter album list on artist name and/or album name

Documentation

The codebase is split into a number of individual packages

1. Model
   • Contains album models of different shapes required to properly interact with the API.
2. Service
   • Constructs and provides an instance of the Retrofit dependency used to make HTTP calls.
3. UI.MainActivity
   • Provides business level logic for the main page/album browser.
   • Also includes the AlbumAdapter and RecyclerView used to control album lists.
4. UI.AddAlbum
   • Activity used to contain business logic for adding an album to the database.
5. UI.UpdateAlbum
   • Activity rendered after clickthrough allowing the user to edit album details or delete an album.

Note: Retrofit directly access a localhost version of the API. To run this programme you are required to change the BASE_URL in RetrofitInstance.java

private static final String BASE_URL = "http://10.0.2.2:8080/api/v1/recordstore/";

The above can be used if you clone and run a local instance of recordstoreAPI
