Bookholdersvs Bookstore App Michael Beck
What it does? • Compares the prices of textbooks at the Tech Bookstore and Bookholders • Can search by ISBN, Title, or Author
How it works? • The main activity sends two concurrent Http requests • GET to Bookholders • POST to Tech Bookstore • Two helper parser classes parse data from response and populate text fields
Issues with Design • Requires page navigation in order to get price • Resulted in extra GET for each Tech Bookstore result found on first page • Used non-threaded approach for GET since when using threaded approach, would finish before all data returned
