This project started off initially with the regular view based UI, and after completion of the UI and all of the business logic,
piece by piece (module by module) migration to the Jetpack Compose implementation began and has completely been migrated to Jetpack Compose now,
and all of the view-based code has been removed.
Each of these stages has been individually tracked in separate respective branches as follows
- Migrate to
buildSrc - Migrate to
GraphQlclient - Add pagination for 'list screens'
- Add shared element transitions for view based implementation
- Enhance overall page animations for view based implementation
- Migrate to
Jetpack Compose - Improve router implementation
- Add animations to the
Jetpack Composeimplementation
This project doesn't require setting up any API key and can be built and run using the latest version of Android Studio Arctic Fox (stable channel) (tested with 2020.3.1 Patch 3). You just need to clone the project and are pretty much ready to go.
