The project uses the dagger2 (https://google.github.io/dagger/) dependency injection library.
The method injection/NetworkModule/providesRepository gives the repository everywhere @Inject Repository mRepository; is used. So returning MockRepository in that method is equivalent to:
@Inject Repository mRepository = new MockRepository();LocalDatabaseRepository is the real database that actually saves and loads recipes to the internal storage, while Mockrepository is just a list of recipes that is reset when the app is restarted.
Example injection:
@Inject
Repository mRepository;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
getComponent().inject(this);
}NOTE: If DaggerApplicationComponent is not found you must do Build -> Rebuild Project
The real database (LocalDatabaseRepository) uses the Sugar ORM library (http://satyan.github.io/sugar/) to save the recipes.
Used to load and save images (You get imagePath from here)
ImageLoader.saveImage(context, Bitmap, recipeId) //Returns the imagePath
ImageLoader.loadImageOnto(imagePath, R.drawable.empty_image, targetImageView)
