Technical Features

From this project you should find useful examples like,

• Build android with MVVM design pattern + ViewModel + LiveData
• Use Dependency Injection (Dagger2) to separate configuration (properties, imageClient, httpClient, etc.) and UI usage
• Use Butterknife for view injection in Activity/Fragment
• Use Retrofit2 and Moshi to call RESTful API and parse returned JSON response
• RxJAVA as Retrofit2 call adapter
• Glide as image client
• Define productFlavors in gradle script
• Read properties from /res/raw resource (However, BuildConfig is preferable)
• How to save/restore Fragment's state -> No need thanks to ViewModel
• Use RecyclerView and CardView

Debug Environment

• Two different Dagger setups for debug and release
• LeakCanary to find memory leak EARLY
• OkHttp Logging Interceptor
• Stetho - A debug bridge to Chrome browser

Quality Assurance

• Checkstyle, Findbugs, PMD and Lint for static code analysis
• Unit test with JUnit, Mockito and Robolectric in JVM

Run "check" task from Gradle

In this project, run check to ensure code quality in the following order: Checkstyle -> Findbugs -> Lint -> PMD -> Unit Tests. You should find all configuration files under config/quality/..

./gradlew check
