Android Showcase is a project that exhibits how to implement common Android stuff in proper and structured way. To do that, it provides a list of small sub-apps, each of which is implemented utilizing libraries & components that Android developers use on daily basis.

This project is under constant development. Please feel free to provide suggestions for improvements and point out any flawed approach you see. Every contribution is appreciated!

List of All Libraries & Components

All the libraries and components used throughout the app are as follows:

General purpose

  • Dagger - A fast dependency injector for Android and Java
  • Data Binding - A support library that allows you to bind UI components in your layouts to data sources in your app using a declarative format rather than programmatically
  • Architecture Components
    • LiveData - Used to build data objects that notify views when the underlying database changes
    • ViewModel - Used to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way; allows data to survive configuration changes such as screen rotations
  • AndroidUtilCode - A library that encapsulates the functions that are commonly used in Android development
  • RxJava - A library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences
  • RxAndroid - Android specific bindings for RxJava 2
  • Retrofit - Type-safe HTTP client for Android and Java by Square, Inc.
  • MMKV - An efficient, small mobile key-value storage framework developed by WeChat
  • StateSaver - A utility library for Android to save objects in a Bundle without any boilerplate

User-interface related

Testing related

  • Barista - A library built on top of Espresso, that provides a simple and discoverable API, removing most of the boilerplate and verbosity of common Espresso tasks
  • Mockito - Most popular mocking framework for Java
