walmart-android-session

This repository contains the demo project that I have used for the android session that I took in walmart. The targeted audience for the session are the people who are completely new to android.

I have covered the followign topics :

• Activities
• Intents
• Services
• Broadcast Receiver
• Recycler View
• Storage in Android
• Async Task
• floating action button

The repository contains different branches, each corresponding to a particular functionality. So, if you want to see the code changes for a particular functionality, you can just see the diff between this branch and the its previous branch.

Here’s the order in which I have prepared the branches :

1. helloworld : basic hello world project
2. listview : added a simple listview
3. addnewcontacts : added a floating action button to add a new contact to the list
4. addeddatabase : integrated SQLite database, so that the contacts storage is persistent.
5. syncusingasync : syncing the contacts from the server using AsyncTask
6. syncusingservice : instead of asynctask, syncing with the server using an InterService.

So, for example, if you want to see how to move from async task to an intentservice, you can run :

git diff syncusingasync..syncusingservice

Feel free to report any issues.

Cheers !
