[Android Bootcamp] App Review - Grid Image Search

[cheesecow]

Not working as fully as I hoped. I got hung up on a small bug with the initial search and later had trouble passing back data from my search Options activity. This was way more difficult than the tipCalculator. @nesquena @timothy1ee

Were you able to resolve this?

What issues did you run up against? This part of the guide reviews passing back responses to the parent activity: https://github.com/thecodepath/android_guides/wiki/Using-Intents-to-Create-Flows#returning-data-result-to-parent-activity

Eric, we'd recommend you complete this project before starting on the next since this version doesn't fulfull the user stories. We are here to help though, feel free to use this thread, the discussion board, or meet with us after class to ask questions.

Updated with load more working and settings. Will clean code up further.

:+1: Hey Eric,

Glad we were able to help you get caught up with the project during the make-up lab. Hopefully you found it helpful. A few points of feedback for the working version:

• Proper layout and view naming, uses relative layouts, string resources, etc
• Properly reused the same method queryGoogle for both initial load and the pagination
• "Load More" button on the view and hooked up with paginating (although clearing seems a bit broken?)
• (Minor UI) Might consider in the future using a toast or progress bar and displaying it when the "Load More" is clicked
• Properly used spinners (with populated values) to allow users to select filters
• Setup preferences to persist the settings between activities (when back button is pressed)

Let us know if you have any other thoughts or questions about this assignment. The next assignment (Twitter Client) will be very important since it introduces the majority of the remaining pieces necessary to build a fully functional API client with complex feeds of data and user creation.
