Project Overview

You will productionize an app, taking it from a functional state to a production-ready state. This will involve finding and handling error cases, adding accessibility features, allowing for localization, adding a widget, and adding a library.

Why this Project?

As a working Android developer, you often have to create and implement apps where you are responsible for designing and planning the steps you need to take to create a production-ready app. Unlike Popular Movies where we gave you an implementation guide, it will be up to you to figure things out for the Baking App.

What Will I Learn?

In this project you will:

• Use MediaPlayer/Exoplayer to display videos.
• Handle error cases in Android.
• Add a widget to your app experience.
• Leverage a third-party library in your app.
• Use Fragments to create a responsive design that works on phones and tablets.
