10/31/2014 - There is a "Square Stack" version this project that uses Retrofit and Dagger while removing Volley https://github.com/digitalbuddha/DaggerStarter
This project is an opinionated view of how to painlessly program in android Challenges this project solves:
- Background jobs/threading - Priority Job Queue (Path)
- Networking - Volley
- Messaging between background threads and UI Thread through config changes - EventBus (Green Robot)
- Fast JSON marhshalling/unmarshalling - Gson
- Make code pretty and stuff - ButterKnife (Square)
- Testing with Roboelectric (install 'Android Unit Test' Android Studio plugin to enable tests to be run by right clicking them)
#Othere interesting elements
- Gradle build

Any and all feedback is greatly apprecated
