The journey as a developer and Open Source contributor begins here. You are beginning to work on an amazing app, and this is going to be the first screen the user sees. Your task is to design a great looking and attractive splash screen for an app to display quotes.

This is going to be the first issue.

What to do?

• You have to design a splash screen for the app Maybe an icon if you wanna get more creative.
• The splash screen should be the first activity to launch as soon as the app is opened.
• The splash screen should disappear after 3s and then let the main app open.
• The splash screen should not appear if the app is retained in memory (i.e. not cleared from recent tasks, or exited), and should only appear once it has been relaunched explicitly after clearing from recents and stuff.
• The best looking one to pass all the above criteria would be merged.

Go ahead, code ahead.
Happy Coding!

As a feature to the app, I want to create two fragments - one is the main screen and another is a list showing all the loved quotes to be placed in a Recycler View. I dont know which database to use for performing CRUD operations on the generated list. I created a wireframe for the same. Please review the idea

When the user clicks on the love icon, the current quote is added on the list

Once the splash screen is ready, we will move ahead with a simple issue. Just build up a sample UI to display a quote and its author, both of which are texts.
The data source for the quotes would be a part of another issue, but for now, you can just add random quotes from the internet with their authors.

Get your creative juices flowing, and let's see what you people can come up with!
The best looking ones will be merged.

What to do?

• The data to be displayed is going to be comprised of two parts:

  • Quote: A string.
    Example: "JWoC is Amazing."
  • Author: Another string.
    Example: Sanskar

• Combining the above two would make something like this:

"JWoC is Amazing." ~ Sanskar

• You have to find a creative way of displaying the above information in a way that looks good and is user friendly as well. Feel free to use any of the components provided by Android Studio.
• The best looking one would be accepted.
• Go ahead, play with components and color schemes!

Now that we have a good UI to put data in, it's time to actually put the data in.
The challenge here is to extract the required information from the API and display it in the app.
Here's the link to the API and here's the link to the API Docs.

What to do?

• Please attempt this issue only after the UI issue has been solved, because then only would you be putting in the parsed data from the API in a good UI.
• The API documentation has the exact same data format as the one we mentioned in the UI issue.
• Your job is to parse the data from the API, and put it in the UI.
• Consult the API docs by heading over to the github repo and get accustomed to the data format. We hope you are familiar with JSON, but even if you are not, this can be a great starting point!
• The most efficient and properly working method of handling the calls and integrating the API here would be accepted.

Code On!

So much progress on the app, adding new features and everything, but we still need an app icon. Calling all UI/UX people aspiring to make their first contribution!

• The initial screen or the Splash Screen can be added to enhance beautification of the app.
