Project Exercises

4.3 (Favorite Websites App) Using the techniques you learned in this chapter, create a Favorite Websites app that allows a user to create a list of favorite websites.

4.4 (Enhancements to the Twitter Searches App) Enhance the Twitter Searches app to allow the user to add filters to searches (e.g., include only tweets with videos, images or links). You may need to investigate the Twitter search operators in more detail.

4.5 (Flickr Searches App) Investigate Flickr’s photo search API (http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.search.html), then reimplement this chapter’s Twitter Searches app as a Flickr Searches app.

4.6 (Enhanced Flickr Searches App) Enhance the Flickr Searches app from Exercise 4.5 to allow the user to add filters to searches (e.g., include only images containing a specific color, shape, object, etc.).

4.7 (Word Scramble Game) Create an app that scrambles the letters of a word or phrase and asks the user to enter the correct word or phrase. Keep track of the user’s high score in the app’s SharedPreferences. Include levels (three-, four-, five-, six- and seven-letter words). As a hint to the user, provide a definition with each word. [Optional: Locate a free dictionary web service, then use it to select the words and definitions.]
