Architecture

  1. All application activities uses Loaders API to load data from both network and cache
  2. There are 2 types of loaders: local and network
  • Local loaders retrieves data from cache backed by Realm database
  • Network loaders do REST API calls using Retrofit
  1. Each activity (apart from LoginActivity) has instances of these loaders and callbacks for them
  2. When network loader retrieves a list of items it uses CacheSyncManager instance to refresh cache with newly retrieved items
  3. When network loader completes request, it forces local loader to reload data
  4. Both local and network loaders use the same data models classes thanks to the compatibility of Realm and Retrofit
  5. Activities render only local loaders results. It uses RecyclerView and ListAdapter to display items
