Thanks stain, Alan, Larry for discussing about the project. I am currently designing the project feather and structure and setting everyone in MVC framework.
Here is the libraries that I will use during development : 1. MVC <https://github.com/ribot/android-boilerplate> framework . 2. Retrofit <http://square.github.io/retrofit/> Type-safe HTTP client Android and java by Square in replacement of Apache HTTP protocol 3. Square Xml Parser for Serializing and Deserializing server xml api. 4. Picasso <http://square.github.io/picasso/> for image loading in ImageView. 5. Butter Knife <http://jakewharton.github.io/butterknife/> (Field and method binding for Android views). 6. RxAndroid <https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxAndroid> , RxJava <https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava> for loading data in different thread with Observable (helping in maintaining layer architecture). 7. Timber <https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber> for Logging . 8. Dagger 2 <http://google.github.io/dagger/> for dependency injection of class. I want to work on this project as my GSOC project. I think it will be beneficial for both the app and me as I will be able to build on my existing knowledge. Thanks.
