The best way to get up and running is to download the latest stable version of Android Studio. Currently version 1.0.x.

Then checkout the newBuild branch. The build scripts have been changed on this branch to make it easier to work with the latest version of Android Studio.

It is not possible to use Eclipe for this project.

Android app

This is the ERNI Moods app for Android, developed during the Hack Sessions and the ERNI Hack Day. The app is a client for the [Erni Moods backend API] (https://github.com/ERNICommunity/erni-moods-backend)

Brief architectural overview

• the controller package contains the Android Activity and Fragment classes that drive the frontend
• the model package contains plain old Java classes
• the api package creates an abstraction layer that exposes methods to use the API backend
• the service package contains helper classes
