on

In this video tutorial, an stock tracking app is built in the Android Studio. To fetch the stock prices from NASDAQ, Free trial API IEXCoud.io is used. 

Add dependency for the Volley in build.gradle (App Level)

dependencies {
    implementation("androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.6.1")
    implementation("com.google.android.material:material:1.11.0")
    implementation("androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4")
    testImplementation("junit:junit:4.13.2")
    androidTestImplementation("androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.5")
    androidTestImplementation("androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.5.1")
    implementation("com.android.volley:volley:1.2.1")
}
