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.
