This book is designed to develop both server and client for an application. We have used the Kotlin language for both the server and client sides. In this book, Spring will be the server-side application, and Android the client-side application. Our primary focus is on those areas that will be able to help a developer develop a secure application with the latest architecture. This book describes the basics of Kotlin and Spring, which will be of benefit if you are unfamiliar with these platforms. We also designed the chapters for implementing security and database in a project. This book delves into the use of Retrofit for handling HTTP requests and SQLite Room for storing data in an Android device. You will also be able to find a way of how to develop a robust, reactive project. Then, you will learn how to test a project using JUnit and Espresso for developing a less bug-prone and stable project.

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.
