Sample project created to reinforce some of the main concepts described in the tech talk "Effective Android UI".

In this repository you are going to find some interesting samples like:

  • MVP and MVVM (without data binding engine) samples.
  • How to use fragments.
  • How to use Dagger to implement dependency injection.
  • Use resource qualifiers to change the layout used in different screen sizes.
  • Use resource qualifiers to change the layout used in different screen densities.
  • Use resource qualifiers to change the layout in different Android version.
  • How to use styles and themes.
  • How to communicate fragments in the same activity.
  • Butterknife library usage to avoid UI duplicated code.
  • Uniform naming for Android resources.
  • How to use Navigator or ActionCommands to implement the navigation inside the application.
  • Use resource custom qualifiers to split resource files by domain.
  • Different layout usage: RelativeLayout, LinearLayout, FrameLayout.
  • Usage of merge, include and view stub.
  • Correct ListView implementation with view recycle using Renderers.
  • Interactor implementation described in the talk "Software Design Patterns on Android".
  • Usage of Dagger to implement two different scopes: Application scope and Activity scope.
