# GitlApp

GitLapp is a small android app for managing GitLab issues. It was developed as part of a university project in a team of two students. 

### What GitlApp can do

- easy connection to (custom) Gitlab servers 

- user-friendly forwarding to generate an access token

- access to all projects in which you are a member 

- quick overview of all project issues within a project filtered by its status

- view issue details like due date, author, milestone, labels, title and description

- add new issues to a project with title, description, due date, select labels and milestones (which are already defined for the project) 

- convenient closing of an issue

### Requirements

The Android devices requires at least API 26 (Android 8.0 Oreo) or higher. 

### Technolgy Stack

 

 - [Retrofit](https://square.github.io/retrofit/) - for Gitlab API communication

 - androidx [Room](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/room), - for local data caching 

 - [Glide](https://github.com/bumptech/glide) - for loading images

 - [JUnit](https://junit.org/junit5/) - for simple unit tests

 - several other androidx libraries 

### Known issues

- Issues that are deleted in the browser still exist in GitlApp

- DB actions are executed in the UI thread, which should actually be done in a separate background thread

- inefficient way of working: with onConflictStrategy.REPLACE all data in the DB is overwritten every time and not only the changes are updated. API calls should also be reduced (sometimes duplicate API calls)

- access token is stored unencrypted in the DB, which is a security hole. Should be stored encrypted in SharedPreferences.

- Difficulties in testing, because the fragments are tightly coupled with the ViewModels (Mock- Repository difficult to include for testing)
