Repository content

Source code is composed by:

• Android Client developed in Java
• Server Tomcat developed in Java
• Database written in MySQL

Notes

Due to the requirements needed for taking the exam, I had to simplify some processes:

• The project uses only Basic-Authentication and the requests don't need authorization
• Currently, the database contains information about video games extracted using APIs from igdb.com. Altough it would have been easier and faster, I wasn't allowed to call the API directly.

Future improvements

• Implement MVVM pattern; #1
• Remove information about video games from DB and use igdb's API to acquire them (using IDs); #2
• Implements safer authentication and authorization protocols. #3
