I am glad that you have shown interest to check out this article. In this article and what follows after this, I’ll demonstrate how you can build a dictionary application where the data for the application resides in the cloud.
We’ll use Kotlin, to develop the API’s using Azure functions, and to consume the data from the API using Android Application.
Process
We’ll follow the following process during the development:
1. Design the API specification
2. Develop the Azure Functions for the API specification.
3. Develop the Android Application to consume data from the API.
The diagram shown below illustrates the use of API specification designed using Swagger to verify our endpoints.
The animation shown below demonstrates the Android App consuming data directly from the API.
