== My hurdles in building my application ==
* getting errors when pulling xml with no values: it took me a while to understand the problem because if i placed a break point in the program asynchronous does not work.
* Understanding and implementing storage for temporary pulled data: Ended using a class bean to store data.
* Setting up Maps: Google does not make it easy to implement maps to android systems. To do so, you must complete a series of downloads, registration, keystore registration, fingerprint registration, importing Google play project, updating sdk to include Google play services, referencing Google play package into assignment project.
* Impossible to debug maps and geocoder on emulator: It is recommended to use an actual device to debug maps and geocoder. I could not afford android. needed to look for people to who has a device but everyone was busy with their own systems.
* Failed in imput SHA finger print generated in keystore which prevented the maps from loading: Took me more time
* My friend told be that I was stacking activities: I did not have knowlegde before hand. I had to edit my change screens.
