Concerts App

An app that uses the Ticketmaster API to find artist concerts

How to run

Clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/ivanebernal/concerts_app.git

Open the app in Android Studio.

Ticketmaster API key

This app uses the ticketmaster api to explore artists and concerts. In order to use this code, you have to create an api key following the instructions on the Ticketmaster webpage. Once you have the API key, open your user's directory ~/.gradle/gradle.properties and write the following:

tm_api_key="<YOUR_API_KEY>"

Google Maps API Key

In order to get google maps working, you have to create a google maps API key. Follow the instructions on the Google Maps Platform site. Once you have it, create a file called google_maps_api.xml in the app/src/debug/res/values/ directory. The contents of the file must be like this:

<resources>
    <!--
    Once you have your key (it starts with "AIza"), replace the "google_maps_key"
    string in this file.
    -->
    <string name="google_maps_key" translatable="false" templateMergeStrategy="preserve">YOUR_MAPS_API_KEY</string>
</resources>

Then go to your app's AndroidManifest.xml and place the following inside the <application> tag:

<meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
      android:value="@string/google_maps_key"/>

After doing this, you should be able to run the app on your machine.
