Challenge Overview
Competition Task Overview
We have previously built a cool app that allows us to quickly share video/photo/web page with others. We built the server code using node.js and the client app on iOS, now we want to build an Android app too!
The purpose of this challenge is to take the provided iOS code, and build an Android app that works the same.
Existing App
For details on how to quickly try the app, see details in challenge forum.
Detailed Requirements
For the Android app, we need to make sure the following functions are implemented:
- Handle custom url scheme, i.e. when user visits the is.gd link in browser, the app should be launched
- Upload photo to server, this includes picking the photo to upload from Gallery
- Upload video server (must work the same as the iOS app, i.e. server can start playing the video without waiting for upload to complete), this also includes picking video from Gallery
- Share url to server
- UI is NOT important for this assembly, we are focusing on getting the functions to work for this assembly
- Try to reuse code from existing iOS code if possible
Testing
You need to provide manual demos to verify your implementation.
