Last week of testing

What’s my IP

Almost there… last week of testing my app to see if it has any weird behaviour.

This is what the app will look like when you’re connected via Wifi:

wifi-connected

This is when you’re connected via the cell network:

cell-connected

This is when the app is getting the data:

waiting-to-connect

And this is when you are not connected to anything:

no-connection

First app is started: What’s my IP

App progress, What’s my IP

So the first development is started.
And what is it going to be? The next Facebook?

Well no, I thought that was a little to high a goal to set for the first app.

I decided to built a simple ‘what is my ip’ app.
Agreed, it’s no rocket science, and it’s been made before,  but it will provide me some nice learning about:

  • UI elements like buttons, textboxes, images;
  • Layouts;
  • Network settings;
  • Wi-Fi settings;
  • Reading JSON;
  • Async programming;
  • Calling internet pages;

So for the first app that will do, and I hope I can show more progress soon.
