AndroidStarter

10/31/2014 - There is a "Square Stack" version this project that uses Retrofit and Dagger while removing Volley https://github.com/digitalbuddha/DaggerStarter

This project is an opinionated view of how to painlessly program in android Challenges this project solves:

• Background jobs/threading - Priority Job Queue (Path)
• Networking - Volley
• Messaging between background threads and UI Thread through config changes - EventBus (Green Robot)
• Fast JSON marhshalling/unmarshalling - Gson
• Make code pretty and stuff - ButterKnife (Square)
• Testing with Roboelectric (install 'Android Unit Test' Android Studio plugin to enable tests to be run by right clicking them)

#Othere interesting elements

• Gradle build
• Recycler View
• Animations

Any and all feedback is greatly apprecated
