Android Build
It was the second project in the Android Developer Nanodegree, Udacity. I created it from scratch during the course. To try out the app download the it from release page.

I have edited it as recommended way to develop android apps kept changing, checkout commit 96ef37459369ef4295f561f6cfdb3d79c580e98f to see how it was when I submitted it and checkout branch legacy(java) to see earlier implementation using java.
