Flagder
Like Tinder, but for the NZ flag submissions! Simply swipe left or right to indicate if you like the flag displayed. Flag images are scraped from the official gallery [here].
The aim of this app was to make the flag discussion more interesting and to find out which submission is the most popular
We used Android Studio with the Picasso and JSoup libraries. Picasso allowed us to display an image from a webpage and JSoup lets us connect to a webpage and find the title and the image of the flag.
Before starting this project we had never developed an app before, so we learnt a lot about that.
