Android native application, to satisfy all of my desires and hobbies !!! Also i've been found how to make test and run latest libraries in whole sides of android application e.g UI-UX side or backend side of android applications
To Try and find better solutions to handle across bottlenecks in android development, find new like [ButterKnife] and Dependency Injection With [Dagger 2] on Android Development, and also to found out how to work with DateBinding in android development via support 'MVVM' Design Patterns . To Use [RxJava] and [RxAndroid] as future of high level android development and many many more new design patterns in Android development. this is exactly what i want to know : Android Modern Application Development !

NOTICE: Some parts of this project may be not work because i've been try to found what have been in TODO !

Libraries

• Data Binding

• Dagger2.0

• Retrofit

• Picasso

• GSON

• RxJava

• ButterKnife

• RxAndroid

TODO

• make better solution to handle SQLite db and connection too
• resolve scenario
• make better UI/UX in whole application
• find and usage new frontend Libraries
• use LeakCanary
• use Scalpel

MVVM Design Pattern

The MVVM pattern consists of three parts:

Model – Represents your business logic View – Displayed content ViewModel – The object that ties those two together A ViewModel interface provides two things: actions and data. Actions change the underlying model (click listeners, text changed listeners, etc.), and data is the content of that model.

For example, a ViewModel for an auction page might expose as data an image of the item, a title, description, and price. It might expose as actions the ability to bid, buy, or contact the seller.

Codebase

Repository URL: ???

• Master: Main branch containing only versions supposed to be in live production. Master branch contains only merges from rc branch, after rc branch has gone through user tests, and is approved as a stable version.

• Develop: The development branch. This is where the actual work happens. Developers are supposed to checkout this branch in order to develop new code. Commits will happen often and in small chunks. Feel free to create your own feature branches out of this branch.

Environment Setup

Checkout the code from master branch

git clone [git@github.com:LordK1/Gandalf.git]
git checkout -b develop origin/develop
git branch -a

Important Gradle tasks

1. gradle assembleDebug
2. gradle assembleRelease
3. gradle runDebug
4. gradle runRelease
5. gradle checkstyle
