An app that uses the Ticketmaster API to find artist concerts

Clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/ivanebernal/concerts_app.git

Open the app in Android Studio.

This app uses the ticketmaster api to explore artists and concerts. In order to use this code, you have to create an api key following the instructions on the Ticketmaster webpage. Once you have the API key, open your user's directory ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and write the following:

tm_api_key="<YOUR_API_KEY>"

In order to get google maps working, you have to create a google maps API key. Follow the instructions on the Google Maps Platform site. Once you have it, create a file called google_maps_api.xml in the app/src/debug/res/values/ directory. The contents of the file must be like this:

<resources>
    <!--
    Once you have your key (it starts with "AIza"), replace the "google_maps_key"
    string in this file.
    -->
    <string name="google_maps_key" translatable="false" templateMergeStrategy="preserve">YOUR_MAPS_API_KEY</string>
</resources>

Then go to your app's AndroidManifest.xml and place the following inside the <application> tag:

<meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
      android:value="@string/google_maps_key"/>

After doing this, you should be able to run the app on your machine.

This app is a work in progress, here is some stuff left to do:

• Handle api call errors
• Use dependency injection
• Add more details and structure to the concert detail screen
• Remove the gray line that appears in all search boxes
• Remove unused model files
• Add crashlytics to detect errors
• Add all colors used in colors.xml
• Add all strings used in strings.xml
• Add paging to the artist and event lists
• Implement suggestions on search boxes if possible
• Get a release Google Maps API Key
• UI Tests
• Unit Tests
