This is an Android application that showcases the usage of RxJava with Retrofit for fetching data from an API. The app fetches posts from a RESTful API and displays them in a list.
Display a list of posts Show the title, body, and user of each post
- The app uses the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture pattern. following libraries:
- Retrofit: for making HTTP requests
- RxJava: for asynchronous and event-based programming
- AndroidX: for backwards compatibility
- It fetches the data from a REST API hosted at https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/.
- The data is displayed in a CardView inside a RecyclerView.
The code is organized into three main packages:
data: contains the implementation of Retrofit and RxJava for fetching the posts from the API.pojo: contains the model class PostModel used to map the response from the API.ui.main: contains the implementation of the ViewModel class PostViewModel used to handle the data and pass it to the UI.
- Android Studio 3.0 or later
- An Android device or emulator with API level 21 or higher
- Clone or download the repository
$ git clone https://github.com/[username]/[repository].git - Open the project in Android Studio
- Connect an Android device or start an emulator
- Click on the "Run" button in Android Studio to install and run the app on the device/emulator.
This app serves as a simple example of how to fetch data from a REST API and display it in an Android app using Retrofit and Gson. With a few modifications, it can serve as a starting point for a more complex application.
