Android Word Scrapper

This is a task that was required for the instabug internship program 2020 that did not pass the task phase despite being good enough to pass. It was probably because I didn't write test cases.

Required

In a five-hour period, develop an android app that scrapes the instabug website and list every word on their home page and how many times each word occured (Without the use of third-party libraries).

Tools I used

  • Java

    I would personally had chosen Kotlin but instabug seems to be stuck with java for eternity.

  • WorkManager

    For handling threading, network calls, processing of scraped web page, and storing processed words to database.

  • Room and LiveData

    For database and observing stored words in the UI.

  • java.net.HttpUrlConnection

    As no third-party tools were allowed, I had to use the java.net package to handle the network call to the instabug website.

  • RegEx

    Basic regex from the java.util package for picking words out of the <body></body> tag

Architecture

MVVM architecture was used
