Description

As an app developer,
I need to have a backend server up and running,
so that I can test the Android app, for fetching data.

So there can be times when the server is down, but you can still test the Android app, if you run a server locally within the same IP network that your device is using.

We need a document, can be a markdown file (e.g.: gist on GitHub, or a markdown file you put on a docs folder in the repository, ...), describing how you can do this, to help contributors test the app, when the server is down.

Acceptance Criteria

Update [Required]

  • Create a document that explains how to test the app using a server hosted on the developer's machine locally.

Definition of Done

  • All of the required items are completed.
  • Approval by 1 mentor.

@alivabasa you can try creating a new user to verify if it is working.

@alivabasa

@iofall In the emulator right?

@iofall In the emulator right?

Yes so right now you can see that we have our app fetching data from the server which is deployed on Heroku. What this issue requires is that you setup a local server and then provide the URL of this local server to the app, so that you can use the local server as backend for your app.

I tried signing up as well as loging in. In both the cases it shows "Please check your internet connection". So is it a glitch or this is what it shows ? @iofall

@alivabasa No, I think you should be able to signup, login won't be possible without creating a user first. Were you able to setup the mentorship-backend server successfully?

@alivabasa

Yes.

You can see the server output as well maybe that could help to debug.

@alivabasa

You mean that the local backend server should resemble with that of server in heroku, right? @iofall

iofall commented Sep 30, 2020
