Architecture Guidelines

• Use Dagger2 for Dependencies Injection
• Use Retrofit2 as HttpClient
• Use RxJava/RxAndroid for better performance
• Call REST API by Using RxJava-Retrofit2
• Must use Crashlytic for tracking android crashing
• Database must use Realm
• Using Glide to load Image for better performance
• Use Timber for better logging mechanism
• Use Buddy build for CI/CD
• Use Gson to Parser JSON
• Use ButterKnife to avoid findViewById for clean code

The architecture of our Android apps is based on the MVP (Model View Presenter) pattern.

• View (UI layer):
  • Define an interface that your View (Activity, Fragment, View) is going to implement. The interface will exposes the method to Presenter to interact with.
  • Your View implement the interface
  • Inject presenter to View
  • Attach View to presenter
  • View only know HOW to display
• Presenter:
  • Implement methods that the View requires to perform the nessary actions.
  • One finish using interface to interact with View
  • Presenter know WHEN display
• Model (Data Layer):
  • Dispatch request using DataManager
  • Return Observables for Presenter
  • Model know WHAT display
