Marvel 101 makes various calls to the official Marvel API and retreives JSON responses, parses them and then uses the parsed data to allow the users to either browse or search for their favorite character, comic, event or creator.
- Giving the users the ability to search through Marvel's MASSIVE data base of comics, characters, creators and events
- Allowing the users to simply browse all catagories if they don't have a specific item to search for
- For each catagory, you get various information associated with the item like a comics' synopsis or an event's running period
- All information is presented in a neat manner and items can be clicked on to show additional details if the user is interested
- All items have links to Marvel's website to, for example, allow the user to read/purchase a comic and more
- All the data retrieved with each call is parsed to hide useless info that the user might not interested in
If, for some reason, you want to clone the repository and run the APP on your local machine then first you have to create a Java file called "SECRET_KEYS". In the file, you need the following static, final strings: "PUBLIC_KEY" and "PRIVATE_KEY" and each will hold your API keys that you get by creating an account at Marvel's website.
- More catagories might be added in the future even though the current ones cover almost everything
- Add even more information for each item
- If more calls get added to the Marvel API then the app will be improved further
