An app with multiple flavors that uses multiple libraries and Google Could Endpoints developed by me for the fourth stage (Gradle for Android and Java) of Android Nanodegree Program.
App evaluated and graded as "Exceeds Specifications" by certified Udacity code reviewer.
The app consists of four modules:
- Java library that provides jokes
- Google Could Endpoints (GCE) project that serves those jokes
- Android Library containing an activity for displaying jokes
- Android app that fetches jokes from the GCE module and passes them to the Android Library for display
As Android projects grow in complexity, it becomes necessary to customize the behavior of the Gradle build tool, allowing automation of repetitive tasks. Particularly, factoring functionality into libraries and creating product flavors allow for much bigger projects with minimal added complexity.
During this project, I:
- Added free and paid flavors to an app, and set up the build to share code between them
- Factored reusable functionality into a Java library
- Factored reusable Android functionality into an Android library
- Configured a multi project build to compile my libraries and app
- Used the Gradle App Engine plugin to deploy a backend
- Configured an integration test suite that runs against the local App Engine development server
- Added interstitial ad to free flavor
