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.

Summary

In this chapter, we explored Spring and its modules, dependencies, and use of functions. We attempted to cover all the essential information that will be required for the rest of this book. We looked at the steady and solid architecture of Spring Framework with Core, Information Access, Web, AOP, Instrumentation, and Test. Furthermore, we figured out the life cycle of a bean and how to design beans in three different ways. We found out about the depth of bean configurations, and we learned about the use of beans in XML, annotation, and code. Now we know how to inject the dependencies into the tasks.

We explored two noteworthy frameworks: Spring MVC and SpringBoot. We'll now be able to make an MVC-based venture with its dependencies and modules. In addition, we learned out about the use of SpringBoot and created a web application that uses Boot, allowing us to make...
