# Track my path

An android app that tracks your walk with images every 100 meters: 

- images fetched from Flickr based on location 

- pictures are shown in a list, and user can scroll through the stream

- one button start/stop, on each start the previous stream of photos gets wiped

- when the app is removed from background and user has not stopped the tracking, the tracking continues in a service

*Please create a Flickr account and use your own api key. Add it in the FlickrApi file.*

### MVVM pattern with Clean architecture developed with Kotlin.

Clean architecture consists of three layers:

- **Data**, includes data objects, databases, network clients, repositories.

- **Domain**, includes use cases of business logic. This layer orchestrates the flow of data from Data Layer to Presentation and the other way.

- **Presentation**, includes UI related components, such as ViewModels, Fragments, Activities.

##### Android Jetpack Components used:

- Fragment

- ViewModel

- [LifecycleService](https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/lifecycle/LifecycleService)

- View Binding

- LiveData 

- Room

- [Location](https://github.com/googlesamples/android-play-location/tree/master/LocationUpdatesForegroundService)

- [ActivityScenario](https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/testing), instrumentation testing (part of AndroidX Test) 

- Espresso (UI tests)

##### Libraries:

- [Koin](https://insert-koin.io/), (in master branch) an easy-to-use DI framework. [Nice comparison with Dagger](https://medium.com/@farshidabazari/android-koin-with-mvvm-and-retrofit-e040e4e15f9d)

- [Hilt](https://developer.android.com/training/dependency-injection/hilt-android) (in [feature-hilt-di branch](https://github.com/gs-ts/TrackMyPath/tree/feature-hilt-di)) a DI library for Android based on Dagger

- [Kotlin Coroutines](https://developer.android.com/kotlin/coroutines)

- [fresco](https://github.com/facebook/fresco), an Android library for managing images and the memory they use

- [Retrofit](https://square.github.io/retrofit/)

- [OkHttp](https://square.github.io/okhttp/)

- [moshi](https://github.com/square/moshi), JSON library for Kotlin and Java 

- [Timber](https://github.com/JakeWharton/timber), a logger which provides utility on top of Android’s Log class

- [detekt](https://github.com/detekt/detekt), Static code analysis for Kotlin

##### Flickr API:

- [flickr.photos.search](https://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.search.html)
