AndroidDex

This is an attempt to learn Kotlin/Android development. It was based majorly on https://github.com/android/architecture-samples . Many things were learned. Two way binding with ui interaction. Database is offline and loads from a json asset file.

Objectives

1. Learn the basics of MVVM in android
2. Basics of dependency injection with Dagger 2
3. Navigation/State management
4. Testing (Instrumentation/Unit)
5. File/Asset manipulation

Libraries

1. com.amitshekhar.android:debug-db - Debugging Room Databases
2. Espresso - Testing Runner
3. Hamcrest - Tetsing Assertion
4. Room - Databases
5. Timber - Logging

Achievments

1. Using workmanager seed database on install only, from json asset file. (https://github.com/Stegnerd/AndroidDex/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/stegner/androiddex/dependencyinjection/workers/DataBaseSeedWorker.kt)
2. Dynamically build resourceid for use of binding ui images and links.(https://github.com/Stegnerd/AndroidDex/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/stegner/androiddex/pokemonlist/PokemonListAdapter.kt)
3. Grasped a basic understanding of mvvm architecture.
4. Designed Custom Recycler ItemDecoration
5. Created popup menu filter (https://github.com/Stegnerd/AndroidDex/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/stegner/androiddex/pokemonlist/PokemonListFragment.kt)

Todos

1. Complete Instrumentation tests. Current issue applies - Tests pass one at a time fail together. (check current issues)

Future plans

Once I get better at android development I have several goals for this app. I am taking a break from this app for a little while to experiment with different ideas.

1. Create a more modular design, instead of a monolith approach.
2. Create Instrumentation unit tests when I get better at testing.
3. Implement a caught/stat to let user keep track of the ones caught
4. Add more detail, like moves or routes caught on the detail page
5. Add different sections, like moves/items
