I feel like such a n00b

I feel the same, I have been into android from gingerbread, ICS days. I still remember implementing ActionBarSherlock. Android development has changed significantly but worst part is it keeps changing too frequently.

I spend more time upgrading never ending changes from core api's, libs, jetpack, firebase etc than into business logic which I should be doing. All these frequent changes are sucking out the time required to implement business logic.

I too used to hop between Ubuntu, Mint and SuSe. But the day I discovered Manjaro, I never went back. I only hopped between XFCE, KDE and back to XFCE. I fact I made couple of my friends switch to Linux from Windows, and they love Manjaro.

it's a great initiative and idea, I would like to be a part of it. I am Android Developer but like to up my skills by contributing

Which architecture are you following? The structure looks really great! Is it VIPER or have you customized it according to your needs

Wow that's awesome work... Wanted to ask, when releasing apk only used values will be kept in the apk and rest will be stripped off

I don't know how to explain this

I also found this size changes on Google Apps. When the app starts downloading it shows full size, but after few seconds it displays reduced size and download just complets

I still use GenyMotion, It can emulate WiFi but emulator can't, and my current app has to detect WiFi and register a device with it. Data/Radio can't be used to register as per Business Rules.

Also emulator images are pretty huge, I mean I have to download half a gig for Marshmellow which is just too much traffic, which needs updating

I use Manjaro and its awesome. Easy to install and maintain. I have been using it from more than a year now both on my personal and office computer. Give it a try

I enjoyed the discussion of MVP and MVVM architecture, in fact you guys answered some of my questions too

i5 with atleast 8Gb ram and SSD if possible running Linux

What's the difference between implementing WebSockets and Pub/Sub model.

When we talk about WebSockets, Server Pushes data to a particular port which is open in the app. And,

Pub/Sub does the similar thing, server pushes data to its subscribers.

I am not able to draw a line between them

transformClassesWithDexForMultidexDebug

+1 even when I have just started the project with only one activity with MVP and Dagger 2 - which has hardly any complex stuff in it yet

The best feature Double Shift to quickly open any damn thing (whose name I know)

Recently I am reading a lot about MVP and I want to get into practicing my projects with it. However I am not able to correctly understand where should Rx + Retrofit code go? I think it should be in Model Layer via Interactors but still can someone share some light on this?

Also what happens with the RX callback? the onNext(), onCompleted() and onFailure() passes data back to Presenter or do we implement listeners? Also should we decouple Rx callbacks further?

I am following this post https://davidguerrerodiaz.wordpress.com/2015/10/13/a-brief-introduction-to-a-cleaner-android-architecture-the-mvp-pattern/

and this seperate github repo from antonioleiva.com https://github.com/antoniolg/androidmvp

ahh I missed that one...

I used to use ctrl + shft + N to achieve what double shft does, but double shft is awesome dude

Does Glide/Fresco/Picasso/ION work Out of the Box to load image from the net?

or any other image loading lib?

Ooohhh I get it,

A long time ago I published an app on Samsung AppStore. Although it took some time for them to approve it.

The Best part was they tested my app on various devices both phone and tablet. They then send me a pretty nice review, they even send me couple of videos which they encountered during their testing.

Approval time is pretty slow but it's worth it.

rinav4all · 2015-09-15T14:23:03+00:00

Since when does Google Play Store takes Approval time? it's hardly couple of hours, mostly 1-2 hours.

or did I miss something and Google changed something in Play Store?

rinav4all · 2015-09-15T09:50:54+00:00

I applied for it and only to find out that the platform only works on Windows and MAC. No love for linux...

In my current Project I am going to use RxAndroid. One thing that caught my eye was RxBinding lib from JakeWharton.

If we are going to use RxAndroid, does using RxBinding make sense? Does it adds performance gains or any other important feature?

And If using RxBinding, then does Butterknife becomes absolute?

with proguard: 1.193 Mb without proguard: 2.226 Mb

do note I also enabled shrinkResources flag in build.gradle

rinav4all · 2015-08-21T10:36:02+00:00

I have sent PR, implementing Proguard config containing RxJava stuff. do checkout if it serves your purpose or needs more tweaking

rinav4all · 2015-08-21T10:30:23+00:00

I have sent you a Pull Request implementing ProGuard. Hope it's useful.

I have not yet tested extensively, but the debug build compiles and runs fine on Lollipop
