This example shows how to create a simple Android/iOS/JVM/JS project sharing some Kotlin code. This app saves on a local database your favourites locations and get the current weather of them from OpenWeatherMap.
In this app we share common code for both platforms (Android/iOS) to get data from an API (in this case OpenWeatherMap). The libraries that we use are:
- KTOR: to make HTTP requests
- Serialization: to De/Serializing JSON
- SqlDelight: Local database shared between Android & iOS
Tests:
- MockK: mocking library for Kotlin
With this app you can get the weather of your locations using KTor:
And add and save on SQLDelight database your favourite locations:
Open XCode and select the project:
To execute this version as desktop app, you have to execute this code on your console:
./gradlew JavaFxApp:run
By default the JDBC SQLite is created in memory. If you want to persist your database in your disk, you have to indicate the path when you create the database driver:
SQLDriver.kt
JdbcSqliteDriver("jdbc:sqlite:$your_database_path")
If you want to launch a web to get the weather you can try executing the next commands:
./gradlew JsApp:run
./gradlew BackEnd:run
--> localhost:8080
