Experience
Worldscope Webcams
This is the most popular webcam browsing application for Android. I made extensive use of background image loading and the Google Maps API for webcam search and display. The application uses the public Webcam Database at http://webcmas.travel and weather data provided by http://worldweatheronline.com, both through a REST/JSON/XML API. It features optimized layouts for phones, tablets, and Google TV.
FiskalPhone (Point of Sale)
FiskalPhone is a fast and easy-to-use point-of-sale application for Android. It was designed to run even on the smallest screens and uses Google Drive for backing up and loading setup data from Google Spreadsheet.
