Learn Spring for Android Application Development

By: S. M. Mohi Us Sunnat, Igor Kucherenko

Overview of this book

As the new official language for Android, Kotlin is attracting new as well as existing Android developers. As most developers are still working with Java and want to switch to Kotlin, they find a combination of these two appealing. This book addresses this interest by bringing together Spring, a widely used Java SE framework for building enterprise-grade applications, and Kotlin. Learn Spring for Android Application Development will guide you in leveraging some of the powerful modules of the Spring Framework to build lightweight and robust Android apps using Kotlin. You will work with various modules, such as Spring AOP, Dependency Injection, and Inversion of Control, to develop applications with better dependency management. You’ll also explore other modules of the Spring Framework, such as Spring MVC, Spring Boot, and Spring Security. Each chapter has practice exercises at the end for you to assess your learning. By the end of the book, you will be fully equipped to develop Android applications with Spring technologies.

To make an application more usable and attractive, we always concentrate on the logos, contents, UI, experiences, and so on, besides we also take care of the coding style. We use the latest architectures and frameworks to reduce code lines and boiler codes in order to make a robust, simple, and fast application. However, many developers forget about the testing phase. Some might not realize there's an issue until a crash report generates during application use, because they didn't adequately test during the project. Generally, some developers skip testing, as they don't want to spend some extra time on writing test cases that are not directly used in the project. This is a common mistake and results in falling quality.

Applications that randomly crash will always be disliked by the user, which is why the most successful Android apps always...
