MarsRealEstate - Starter Code
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Starter code for Android Kotlin Fundamentals Codelab 8.1 Getting data from the internet
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
MarsRealEstate is a demo app that shows available properties for sale and for rent on Mars.
|
|
The property data is stored on a Web server as a REST web service. This app demonstrated
|
|
the use of [Retrofit](https://square.github.io/retrofit/) to make REST requests to the
|
|
web service, [Moshi](https://github.com/square/moshi) to handle the deserialization of the
|
|
returned JSON to Kotlin data objects, and [Glide](https://bumptech.github.io/glide/) to load and
|
|
cache images by URL.
|
|
|
|
The app also leverages [ViewModel](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel),
|
|
[LiveData](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/livedata),
|
|
[Data Binding](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/data-binding/) with binding
|
|
adapters, and [Navigation](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/navigation/)
|
|
with the SafeArgs plugin for parameter passing between fragments.
