##Prototypes

##Requirements / Constraints

Your work must:

• Include at least 2 prototypes

• Include user stories based on your research and feature prioritization in a Trello board for the complete flow of your app

• Have at least one Activity--more if it makes sense. The activity should include a list of interactive cards implemented with Android’s RecyclerView and CardView APIs.

• Include at least three types of cards:

  • One card should present data that is stored and updated on the user’s phone using a Content Provider or Shared Preferences (e.g. To-do card, Reminder card, Alarm card).
  • Two cards should present data provided through a web API (e.g. Weather card, Twitter card, Maps card, Photo of the Day). Check out this directory of APIs if you need some API ideas.

• Use the Retrofit library to handle HTTP requests and parse JSON data

• Include at least one Notifications feature (e.g. reminder, alarm)

• Look great in both landscape and portrait modes and reflect Material Design principles

• Not crash or hang and should handle for when networking/internet is slow or unavailable

• Have code that is semantically clean and well-organized

• Integrate with the Twitter and/or Facebook's APIs

• Allow the user to share breaking news developments with friends

Bonus:

• Integrate additional APIs
