What does the app do?

The idea for my Homework 3 project is an application that you use when you are bored and looking for something to do. The app first has tyou log into facebook. After you log in you can then choose a media type. My app then choose some of your friends at random from your friends list and looks at their likes based on the media type you choose. It then lists them so you can pick one to try to entertain yourself.

How it go?

Not very well at all. Working with the Facebook API was a giant pain. Every step, from setting up my Facebook app developers account, working with the Facebook Android API, getting the correct permissions for my app and even just getting the json items gave me problems. The good news is Facebook has tons tutorials.
