Discussion

I have used MVP architecture to build the App structure with local data source to save blacklisted Apps. The project has 3 main modules:

• app: is the main modules and has >> View and Presenter layers besides the background service.
• data: is the data layer which includes First: AsyncTaskLouder to load the Application list from Android, Second: LocalDatasource using Room database for saving black listed apps.
• multiutils: is a reusable utility modules.

I have not used any third party libraries for this project except the popular testing frameworks like

• Mockito
• Hamcrest
• Robolectric

Project structure:

.
├── data          # data layer.           
│   ├── exception       # has data layer exceptions.
│   ├── model           # Database entity java models.
│   ├── helper          # has 2 helper classes for Loader.
│   ├── local           # local data sources files.
│   ├── Loader          # Loader data source.
├── App           # view and presentaion layer which includes all UI required files and preseters.
│   ├── exception       # has exception wrapper for data layer exceptions.
│   ├── presentation    # has views, presenters and contracts.
│   ├── service         # has the distraction service with it's launch broadcast receiver.
│   ├── .....           # the rest is some utilities and helpers.

Task Requirements as user stories:

1. As a user I’d like to get a list of installed applications.
2. As a user I can blacklist any application.
3. As a user I can start/stop the no-distraction-mode.
4. As an App I can detect the application the user is currently using.
5. As an App I can notify and open myself again if the user is using a blacklisted application.
