Android-Master-Project

This is a starter project when starting any fresh project.

Note:

• This project does not follow any Design Architectutral Patterns. I can assure you that you will love to use it. Its just a normal way to start any project, but comes with lots of shortcuts and that can reduce your huge amount of Code.

• Re-usability and Abstraction has been implemented at my best
• This architecture assumes that your activity's root layout is CoordinatorLayout with Id as "coordinatorLayout". I have considered this so that I can leverage the power of Material Design specifications

Whats new about this architecture:

• BaseXXX classes:

  • Variety of BaseXXX classes to extend your Android Components like:
    • BaseAppCompatActivity.java: Every Activity class will be extending this class. Example: SplashActivity.java extends BaseAppCompatActivity.java
    • BaseToolBarActivity.java: This class itself extends BaseAppCompatActivity.java Every BaseAppComaptActivity that uses toolbar should extend this class. Example: LoginActivity.java extends BaseToolBarActivity.java
    • BaseNavigationDrawerActivity.java: This class itself extends BaseToolBarActivity.java. Any Activity that uses Navigation Drawer in its layout should extend this class. Example: HomeActivity.java extends BaseNavigationDrawerActivity.java
    • BaseFragment.java: Every Fragment should extend this class.
    • BaseDialogFragment.java: Every DaialogFragment should extend this class.
    • BaseRecyclerAdapter.java: This is a generic adapter I have created so that I dont have to create and manage separate files for different types of adapter. Demo is shown here.
  • Shorthand methods:
    • Launch Activity
    • Load Fragment
    • Make a network Call
    • Show Toasts / Snackbars
    • Show / Hide Progress Dialog
    • Show AlertDialog / ConfirmDialog
    • logXXX methods
    • Hide Keyboard
    • Start Service
    • Save / Retrieve SharedPreferences
    • Finishing Activities with (w/o) Sending Result
    • Searchng a fragment
  • And all of these shorthand methods can be accessed from different BaseXXX Android Components also.

• Network Calls:

  • All the Network Calls happen on Android's Service Component which helps in keeping activities, fragments fat-free.
  • Separation of Concerns: All the things related to a particular Api Call is encapsulated in one file.

• Uses latest libraries:

  • Support Library: 25.3.0
  • Butterknife: 8.5.1
  • Glide: 3.7.1
  • Easy Permissions: 0.2.1
  • Retrofit: 2.1.0
  • OKHttp: 3.4.1
  • EventBus: 3.0.0
