 In the case of Pages we just display the information. We use 2 methods to make this. The first one is by "databinding", this is useful when you have to show data with the same format, like list of items. In this project "databinding" was use to fetch results of the books that were found. The second method is to modify the UI by hand, this can by hard but you can make more effects to improve the interface. This was used to show points in the map, alerts, etc. In the case of Pages we just display the information. We use 2 methods to make this.

-**API calls**+=== API calls===
 To get information about books and libraries we make some API calls which in this case is basically request some data by calling an URL with some special parameters. The data that we received is in JSON format, so we build a parser for that. Also, to get the books  status we need again to request a page from an URL, but in this case is not JSON but an HTML page, another parser was made for that. To get information about books and libraries we make some API calls which in this case is basically request some data by calling an URL with some special parameters.

-**Tombstoning**+=== Tombstoning===
 Tombstoning is a requirement for WP applications. We knew about this so when we design the transition between pages we made them in such way that all pages are independent (stateless), this help us then to implement the Tombstoning easily in all of them. Tombstoning is a requirement for WP applications.
