I'm not sure if this one is really accessing an API, technically. Though it does request subreddits in JSON in order to display thumbnails of images which doesn't require any authentication.

REST API WEEK! App a Day 21: Goodreads Authors

https://github.com/victorman/GoodreadsFavoritesAndroid



Classes Used: Service, AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter, XmlPullParser, ContentProvider, ContentResolver SQLiteOpenHelper, Handler, ContentObserver.

I've always wanted to play with the Goodreads API. So here's my first attempt. Responses are in XML only, unfortunately. This makes a request for the books (reviews) in my favorites shelf and lists the authors. Very simple in theory. I was going to do more but I ran out of time.

I finally made some templates files for a SQLite Database, but without any of the provider's URI constants. Just copy the gist code below into a file template.

Classes Used: ContentProvider, ContentResolver, Service, AbstractThreadedSyncAdapter, GoogleMap, Handler

I think I need to learn a lot in regards to what is possible using data that is already out there. So I'm going to make this REST API week. I'll use different API's in all of my dailies.
This one uses openweathermap.org. Using it's cities in cycle feature it grabs current temperatures for 10 cities near your current GPS location and displays the markers on the map.
