MultiModule

• Use to prevent merge conflict when you have many collaborators in the project.

• Use to group features and easy to maintain

• app (router, application, splashscreen)

• design (ui, base)

• common (extensions, utils, helper, handler)

• feature_name

• uitest

• buildSrc

buildSrc module

• Use to create a common gradle setup

• create a folder named "buildSrc"

• create a build.gradle.kts

  plugins {
    `kotlin-dsl`
  }
  repositories {
   mavenCentral()
  }

SplashScreen core KTX

• use to modify white screen upon opening of the app.
• dependency

  "androidx.core:core-splashscreen:1.0.0-beta02"

• create custom theme and assign it to your activity in the manifest.

 <style name="Theme.App.Starting" parent="Theme.SplashScreen">
     <item name="windowSplashScreenBackground">@color/white</item>
     <item name="windowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon">@drawable/baseline_android_24</item>
     <item name="windowSplashScreenAnimationDuration">200</item>
     <item name="postSplashScreenTheme">@style/Theme.App</item>
 </style>

• add this snippet in onCreate

 Thread.sleep(1000)
 installSplashScreen()

Dagger Hilt

• Use to simplify the declaration of singleton class.

• use @HiltAndroidApp to Application class to be able to inject dependencies

  @HiltAndroidApp
  class MainApplication : Application() {
  }

• use @AndroidEntryPoint to Activity class to be able to inject dependencies

  @AndroidEntryPoint
  class LoginActivity : BaseActivity() 

• use @HiltViewModel to ViewModel class to be able to inject dependencies

  @HiltViewModel
  class LoginViewModel  @Inject constructor(
    private val splashUseCase: LoginUseCase): BaseViewModel() 

• use @Inject to add dependencies via field member or constructor

  @HiltViewModel
  class LoginViewModel @Inject constructor( private val splashUseCase: LoginUseCase)

  @HiltAndroidApp
  class MainApplication : Application() {
    @Inject lateinit var bar: Bar
  }

• use @Module to create dependency class/objec

• use @InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class / ActivityComponent::class) to group the hierarchy of dependencies

  @Module
  @InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
  object SplashAPIModule

  @Module
  @InstallIn(ActivityComponent::class)
  object SplashModule

• use qualifier annotation based on @InstallIn components. (@Singleton, @ActivityScoped)

• use @Provides to instantiate singleton classes

  @Provides
  @Singleton
  fun provideService(networkManager: NetworkManager) : SplashService =
    networkManager.create(SplashService::class.java) as SplashService

  @Provides
  @ActivityScoped
  fun provideRepository(service: SplashService) : SplashRepository =
    SplashRepository(service)

Retrofit

• Use to fetch data source using REST api

• Multiple serialization support from api response (json or xml)

 /// for JSON then use @JSONFormat annotation in your Service interface
 GsonConverterFactory.create(GsonBuilder().setLenient().create())

 /// for XML then use @XMLFormat annotation in your Service class
 TikXmlConverterFactory.create(TikXml.Builder().exceptionOnUnreadXml(false).build())

• Support RX architecture

/// to use Observable<?>, Single<?> as return type in your Services interface
RxJava3CallAdapterFactory.create()

• Add interceptor to handler server error code

// use to handle and throw specific exception
addInterceptor(NetworkErrorInterceptor())

MVVM Architecture

• model (data processing)

• view (activity, fragment)

• view model (bridge between the model classes and view class)

UIState Architecture

• every group of view should have a state.

sealed class UiState<out T> {

    object Loading:UiState<Nothing>()

    data class Success<T>(val data: T):UiState<T>()

    data class Error(val error: Throwable):UiState<Nothing>()

}

• live data should observe using state.

 // in view model class
 private val _apiResponse = MutableLiveData<UiState<ReponseDataModel>>()
    val apiResponse: LiveData<UiState<ReponseDataModel>>
        get() = _apiResponse

// in activity class
  viewModel.apiResponse.observe(this) { state->
            when(state) {
                is UiState.Loading -> {
                  // show shimmer
                }
                is UiState.Success -> {
                  // load content
                }
                is UiState.Error -> {
                  // show error spiels, try again functionality, hide content
                }
            }
        }

Interactor & Repository Achitecture

• View model class will call interactor class (use case)

  then interactor class will call repository class (data source).

• Interactor class is where we do the mapping, combining of callables or any process.

• Repository class is the implementation of method to access the data source (remote or local). You can also put the caching of response in this class.

@HiltViewModel
class LoginViewModel @Inject constructor(
    private val accountInfoUseCase: AccountInfoUseCase): BaseViewModel() {

    private val _accountInfoState = MutableLiveData<UiState<AccountInfoResponse>>()
    val accountInfoState: LiveData<UiState<AccountInfoResponse>>
        get() = _accountInfoState

    fun getAccountInfo() {
       accountInfoUseCase.getAccountInfo()
           .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
           .doOnSubscribe {
                _appState.value = UiState.Loading
            }
            .subscribe({
                 _appState.value = UiState.Success(data)
            },{
                _appState.value = UiState.Error(it)
            }).addTo(disposable)
    }

}

class AccountInfoUseCase @Inject constructor(private val repository: AccountRepository) {
    fun getAccountInfo(): Observable<AccountInfoResponse> {
        return repository.getPromoList()
    }
}

class AccountRepository @Inject constructor(
    private val service: AccountService) {

   private val cacheAccountInfo: AccountInfoResponse? = null

   fun getPromoList(): Observable<AccountInfoResponse> {
        if(cacheAccountInfo !=null) {
           return Observable.just(cacheAccountInfo)
        }
        return service.getAccountInfo()
               .doOnSuccess {
                    cacheAccountInfo = it
               }
   }
}

interface AccountService {
    @GET("PATH_URL")
    fun getAccountInfo():Observable<AccountInfoResponse>
}

AppRouter

• Use to connect activities from different modules.

sealed class AppRouter {
    object LoginScreen: AppRouter()  {
        fun navigate(activity: Activity) {
            activity.startActivity(LoginActivity.createIntent(activity))
        }
    }

    object MainScreen: AppRouter()  {
        fun navigate(activity: Activity) {
            activity.startActivity(MainActivity.createIntent(activity))
        }
    }
}

/// how to use
AppRouter.LoginScreen.navigate(this)

Base Classes

• Use to prevent redundancy of snippets .

///check the code of this classes
BaseActivity()
BaseViewModel()
