Gitty is android application that uses many various tools.

All the app does is call github's api and places the data onto a recycler view.

• Dagger 2

  • dependency injection, by building my own dependency graph
  • allows me to abstract the unwanted details, have more readable code, and increases app launch time.

• Retrofit

  • helps me call apis like the github api in a quick and readable manner.

• RxJava

  • helps with readability and works well with retrofit.
  • easy to run code in a background thread and simplfies asynchronous chain operations.

• Data Binding

  • rather than having logic in the adapter's onBindView, the data is binded to a xml layout.
  • by giving your views ids and wrapping your xml layouts in "<layout> </layout>", you can access your components from the compiled binding through DataBindingUtil.

There is a lot more that you can do with these tools!
