Useful APIs

• Data Bindings: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/data-binding

  • The Data Binding Library is a support library that allows you to bind UI components in your layouts to data sources in your app using a declarative format rather than programmatically.

• Room: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/room

  • Room provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow fluent database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.

• ViewModel: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel

  • The ViewModel class is designed to store and manage UI-related data in a lifecycle conscious way.

• LiveData: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/livedata

  • LiveData is an observable data holder class. Unlike a regular observable, LiveData is lifecycle-aware, meaning it respects the lifecycle of other app components, such as activities, fragments, or services.

• View Bindings: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/view-binding

  • View binding is a feature that allows you to more easily write code that interacts with views. An instance of a binding class contains direct references to all views that have an ID in the corresponding layout. In most cases, view binding replaces findViewById.

• WorkManager: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/workmanager

  • The WorkManager API makes it easy to schedule deferrable, asynchronous tasks that are expected to run even if the app exits or device restarts.

Code convention

Branch name

When working on a task from a git branch, use the following naming convention : {issue number}-{task name}. For example, working on the login task with an issue number 17 would give the branch 17-login.
