##About NixMashup Links##

NixMashup Links begin as a collection of links published periodically at NixMash.com.

They are then processed and converted into individual objects at NixMashupLinks.com

As individual data objects with tagging and searchable engine the links are now available to serve devices like Android. The Server API is not currently available but sample XML and Urls are included in the /docs folder.

###Sample XML###

Sample data format is found in docs/sample-data.xml

###Sample Urls###

Urls used include retrieving ALL links, links by TAG and SEARCH. Url structures are found in docs/sample-urls.txt

###Installation###

This repository does not contain production NixMashup Links API Urls and Keys, so uncomment the api_xml_url, api_images_url, and api_key items in values/strings.xml for error-free compile.

Because no XML data is being retrieved the v1.0.1 app will intially launch to a blank screen.
