RandomRecipeApp

Inspiration

We wanted to create an app that would help tired home cooks choose new recipes to defeat "cooking fatigue" during the Coronavirus lockdowns. We also wanted to learn how to use an external API to get data that would display in a user interface.

What it does

It displays a random recipe from TheMealDB each time the user clicks the Random button.

How we built it

We used Android Studio to create our app.

Challenges we ran into

We spent two days unable to pass data from one fragment to another, ruining our original idea for being able to tap on the picture of the recipe and seeing the full ingredient list and instructions separately. Fortunately, we received a great last minute suggestion to just put all information on the same main fragment and scroll through it, which saved our project.
