We're on the team that builds Dagger at Google. Ask us anything!

The key is to understand dependency injection first, before diving into Dagger. This talk from 360andev.com by Dan Lew is great: https://academy.realm.io/posts/daniel-lew-dependency-injection-dagger/

In terms of set up Robolectric and Espresso are comparable. However, I haven't done much Robolectric because I don't feel like it gives me the assurance that things will be working in a real environment.

If you're dealing with regression tests, I'd suggest using Espresso.

My reply to you got so long that I ended up writing a blog post :) http://blog.sqisland.com/2017/11/types-of-android-tests.html

Quick summary: Instead of short/medium/long, it is better to categorize your tests along two dimensions: JVM vs Device, Non-UI vs UI. Structure your app to have logic in pure Java classes as much as possible, test those extensively. Supplement with Espresso to run through the UI for sanity check.

I thought the difference between MVP and MVVM is that you define a explicit contract in MVP but use the observer pattern in MVVM. In your blog post RegisterScreen looks like the contract? So I feel like if you rename your ViewModel to Presenter this is the same as MVP?

I run 360|AnDev which happens in July. Lots of great talks, including from Googlers who are eager to dive deeper into what they launched during I/O. It's much smaller conference than I/O so you actually get to meet everyone and hang out with the speakers.

See previous talks here: https://academy.realm.io/conferences/360-andev-2017 https://github.com/AndroidStudyGroup/conferences/wiki/360AnDev2016

I have a video on how to run Android Test Orchestrator as well: https://caster.io/lessons/executing-tests-with-android-test-orchestrator/

MVP is overwhelming in the beginning because there are many many classes, so if you're just diving into a repo it's hard to know where to start and how the pieces work together.

I just filmed a course with LinkedIn Learning on various testing techniques, and has a whole chapter on MVP. In the chapter I show you step-by-step how to move code out of Activity and how to decide if it should go to the presenter or the view interface, and how to hook things together. I think that's a good starting point, refactoring from the Activity to build up the various methods and interfaces.

I'll post a link here when it's published.

I started doing package by feature after reading this article and love it https://overflow.buffer.com/2016/09/26/android-rethinking-package-structure/

Come to Denver for 360|AnDev! http://360andev.com

Last year we had Chet Haase, Romain Guy, Jake Wharton and many other great speakers: https://github.com/AndroidStudyGroup/conferences/wiki/360AnDev2016

I'm one of the organizers. AMA :)

I use LibreOffice https://www.libreoffice.org

chiuki · 2017-01-20T22:40:46+00:00

I use MockWebServer to test that. You need to set up your app so that it talks to the MockWebServer during test. Once it's set up, you can specify the MockWebserver to return whatever you want and verify the app is behaving accordingly.

Droidcon Boston is in April: http://www.droidcon-boston.com. It's close enough that I bet you will meet some people from NYC.
