For this assignment I thought it would be cool to create an app to pull down links from Reddit. Basically the first Activity is for getting the assigned links and displaying the titles in a ListView. When they are clicked an Intent is issued for the browser to visit that link. I used a lot of this when creating the other activity which grabs all the posts on the main page on Reddit.com and displays the titles in a ListView. It will open up a browser and go to the url when the item is clicked. The Reddit activity was slightly more complicated to figure out. I learned how to grab the data that was stored in a ‘deeper’ structure than I did for the page with the assigned links. I actually had to take a good hard look at how the data was being stored. While writing this app I learned a lot about how JSON is structured and found that it was actually fairly straight-forward.
