Welcome to the KotlinPinBoard wiki!

The primary goal of this project is to showcase my android programming skills. To prove my quick learning capability, I decided to learn and implement kotlin and jetpack in this project. This project is currently in development phase containing following modules,

• A library module which is responsible for downloading remote resource and cache them in lruCache
• An app module which is a sample gallery app which uses the above library module

The development tasks breakdown

• Learn kotlin from, Udacity course ud9011
• Learn Jetpack specially android architecture in kotlin from, Udacity course ud9012
• Make a library module using kotlin syntax with utilizing lruCache, retrofit, rxjava and manual dependency injection
• The lib has an abstract repository i.e. PinDownloader which has a function called download which returns a generic observable. A generic version of CacheDataSource and RemoteDataSource is injected manually.
• An implementation of PinDownloader i.e. BitmapPinDownloader which downloads bitmap.
• Change the Observable return type to Flowable so that it supports back pressure.
• Replace RxJava concurrency with Coroutine
• Add json implementation of PinDownloader as well as pojo converter with gson
• Replace manual dependency injection to Dagger2
• Add unit testing for the library to test different test scenarios
• Publish the library to Jitpack.io
• Make a sample app using MVVM architecture.
• The ViewModels will subscribe to the LiveData returned by the injected repositories and return an immutable version of LiveData
• Make AndroidDatabinding directly observe the LiveDatas returned by the viewmodels
• Integrate Pagination by Paging library
• Integrate Navigation Component
• Add LocalUnitTests, IntegrationTests and UITests
