A simple app that can be used to search repositories on Github!
Completely written in Kotlin. The architecture is MVVM which is implemented using Android architecture components (ViewModel, LiveData, and LifeCycle). Repository pattern is used for remote data access.
Here is a list of third-party libraries that are used:
- OkHttp and Retrofit for networking
- Dagger2 for DI
- Glide for image loading
- Coroutines for easy asynchronous programming
- Google Android components like Material, RecyclerView and...
- Gson for dealing with JSON
- JUnit and Mockito for unit testing
As you may know, Github API enforces TLS1.2. On old Android versions (<API21) TLS1.2 it is included but not enabled by default.
As we are supporting API19+ for this app, We use TlsProviderInstaller which uses google play services to install the latest cipher suites and enables TLS1.2. We also use TlsSocketFactory which is an extension for OkHttpBuilder that installs a SocketFactory so that the use of TLS1.2 is added to the network requests.
