What is MVP (ModelViewPresenter)?
- View is a layer that displays data and reacts to user actions. On Android, this could be an Activity, a Fragment, an android.view.View or a Dialog.
- Model is a data access layer such as database API or remote server API.
- Presenter is a layer that provides View with data from Model. Presenter also handles background tasks.
Most of the modern Android applications just use View-Model architecture. Programmers are involved into fight with View complexities instead of solving business tasks. Using only Model-View in your application you usually end up with "everything is connected with everything", which translates into harder scalability. With the MVP approach it easier to understand the role of each element. You didn’t became a developer to be wasting time on boring code maintenance, but to build awesome stuff!
This sample is available
Configs & API authentication
If you wish to run your own CI (I'm using Travis) ensure you have the following environment variables on your CI config:
- IS_ CI_JOB = true
- CI_ PUBLIC_KEY = < YOUR-PUBLIC-KEY >
- CI_ PRIVATE_KEY = < YOUR-PRIVATE-KEY >
To run locally have your private and public keys in your gradle.properties file (project's root folder).
- marvelPublicKey = < YOUR-PUBLIC-KEY >
- marvelPrivateKey = < YOUR-PRIVATE-KEY >
Mind the markedown spaces.
