    In this course we've learned about integrating Google Play services 0:00
    to create personalized features, and 0:04
    take advantage of the rich cloud services Google offers to Android developers. 0:06
    Here's what we've learned; registering our app with a third party API, 0:11
    like Etsy adding the Google Play Services library into our code, using 0:15
    Retrofit to access an API and display them in a beautiful way using RecyclerView, 0:20
    connecting to Google Play Services with clean organized code we can re-use in 0:26
    future apps, and accessing Google+ API's, like Plus On and Sharing. 0:30
    Now that you know the basics, you can add in great services like maps, casting, 0:37
    or analytics to help you take your app to the next level. 0:41
    All the information you need is in the documentation 0:45
    which I've linked to in the teacher's notes. 0:48
    Here are a few ideas you might want to try out. 0:51
    Create an app that detects your current location and displays it on a map. 0:53
    Tap into a location service, like Yelp, and show restaurants on the map near you. 0:58
    Cast selected photos stored in Google+ as a collage on the big screen. 1:03
    Finally, use analytics to track which screens your users visit most often, 1:08
    or how often a user taps on a particular button. 1:14
    I had a great time building our Etsy recommendations app, and 1:17
    I hope to see your apps in the Google Play Store soon. 1:21
