Content Providers

This lab can be done in pairs.

In this lab, you will be creating an app that will use the MarkIt On Demand API to create a Stock portfolio. All data must be stored in a local database through a Content Provider. The user must be able to add a stock as well as the quantity they bought to the database in a dialog window (see screenshots below). On the screen, you must show the company name and quantity of stock purchased in a RecyclerView.

The MarkIt API will be used to retrieve the company name and quantity of stock for each company.
