Spandan 2014

This new app that I've created has lot of new features that I've used for the first time in my apps. The app acts as a handy guide for the participants and organisers of Spandan*. Some of new features/APIs that have been used in the App include:

• GridView: 
• This is a cool view that is not used quite often in the apps. I feel this view is better than the ListView.
• ExpandableListView: 
• This view provides a nice accordion effect in the app.
• Infinite Scrolling: 
• This is probably the easiest and the most exciting API. This can be achieved by implementing OnScrollListener and attaching it to the scroll event of ListView. This gives a beautiful infinite scroll feature to the app.
• PushNotifications: 
• Push Notifications is real simple with the Google Cloud Messaging services. This is used for providing alerts in real time. The Alerts Activity is launched in the Intent.
• Spock:
• This is the coolest part! The app has Spock! Actually, it's SPOC, but who cares, it's SPOCK (minus K)! Fascinating.

The app can be downloaded from Google Play at http://bit.ly/spandan2014. The app is supported from API level 8 - Froyo.
