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.
