JokesApp

A demo app to show random jokes, with the aim of showing Clean Architecture and Clean code principles in a MVVM setup, LiveData and Rxjava.

There's a cache memory used to save and retrieve a custom joke. In order to show a data cache implementation.

About the project

For simplicity, I've chosen the ICNDb free API: http://www.icndb.com/api/

Initial approach

The initial Clean Architecture approach was developed by me in a Bitbucket repository using:

• MVVM
• RXJava

Goals

In order to follow the latest Android standards, the project will include the next points (progressively):

• Complete the VM unit tests (DONE)
• LiveData, instead of Rx (outputs) (DONE)
• UI Tests using Espresso and Robot pattern (reference Adam McNeilly) (DONE)
• MockWebServer for testing HTTP clients (DONE)
• Add Navigation Module (DONE)
• Improve UI elements (DONE)
• Add feature Detail (DONE)
• Change modules for feature Module, in order to create two branches: Feature-Modules and Data-Layer-Modules

Libraries Used

• Rx for reactive style programming (from VM to Data).
• LiveData for reactive style programming (from VM to UI).
• Navigation for in-app navigation.
• Rx for cache storage.
• Dagger2 for dependency injection.
• Retrofit for REST api communication.
• Timber for logging.
• Espresso for UI tests.
• Mockito-Kotlin for mocking in tests.
• MockWebServer for Instrumentation tests.
• AndroidX Test Library for providing JUnit4 and functions as launchActivity in UI tests,
