the app with a new fresh and modern design Added a new font folder with Quicksand fonts in the assets folder changed the default fonts in the java files with setTypeface instances Created a Stations new class in the Parse Dashboard so now you don t need to create any class for the music genres all radio stations must be stored into the Stations class Edited all java and xml files compare your old files with the updated ones and perform the code design changes Added these lines in Configs java public static String STATIONS_CLASS_NAME Stations public static String STATIONS_GENRE genre public static String STATIONS_FAVORITED_BY favoritedBy public static String FAVORITES_STATION_POINTER stationPointer IMPORTANT IF THIS IS AN UPDATE FOR YOU then you should uncomment createGenresAndFirstGenreClassesAndRows from onCreate in Home java run the app once and let it create a demo radio station and the Stations new class in your Parse Dashboard After that you need to create all your new rows for radio stations in the Stations class you can copy URL and Name of your old radio stations from their classes and the genre name of the cells of the genre column must match the genre names you ve inserted in the Genres_ class Once you re done you can remove all music genre classes you ve previously created like Rock Ambient Jazz etc One more thing you need to add a radio station to Favorites then check the Favorites class in your Parse Dashboard it ll have a new column called stationPointer This value is just the objectId of the favorited station from the Stations class so if you have other rows in the Favorites class they ll have the cells of the stationPointer column empty undefined You have to copy the objectId s of those radio stations and paste them in their relative cells so the Favorites system will work smoothly 15 April 2018 Updated to Android Studio 3 1 1 Removed all dependencies of play-services left only this one in build gradle
