This is a starter project when starting any fresh project.
- This project does not follow any Design Architectutral Patterns. I can assure you that you will love to use it. Its just a normal way to start any project, but comes with lots of shortcuts and that can reduce your huge amount of Code.
- Re-usability and Abstraction has been implemented at my best
- This architecture assumes that your activity's root layout is CoordinatorLayout with Id as "coordinatorLayout". I have considered this so that I can leverage the power of Material Design specifications

BaseXXX classes:
- Variety of BaseXXX classes to extend your Android Components like:
- BaseAppCompatActivity.java: Every Activity class will be extending this class. Example: SplashActivity.java extends BaseAppCompatActivity.java
- BaseToolBarActivity.java: This class itself extends BaseAppCompatActivity.java Every BaseAppComaptActivity that uses toolbar should extend this class. Example: LoginActivity.java extends BaseToolBarActivity.java
- BaseNavigationDrawerActivity.java: This class itself extends BaseToolBarActivity.java. Any Activity that uses Navigation Drawer in its layout should extend this class. Example: HomeActivity.java extends BaseNavigationDrawerActivity.java
- BaseFragment.java: Every Fragment should extend this class.
- BaseDialogFragment.java: Every DaialogFragment should extend this class.
- BaseRecyclerAdapter.java: This is a generic adapter I have created so that I dont have to create and manage separate files for different types of adapter. Demo is shown here.
- Shorthand methods:
- Launch Activity
- Load Fragment
- Make a network Call
- Show Toasts / Snackbars
- Show / Hide Progress Dialog
- Show AlertDialog / ConfirmDialog
- logXXX methods
- Hide Keyboard
- Start Service
- Save / Retrieve SharedPreferences
- Finishing Activities with (w/o) Sending Result
- Searchng a fragment
- And all of these shorthand methods can be accessed from different BaseXXX Android Components also.
- Variety of BaseXXX classes to extend your Android Components like:
-
Network Calls:
- All the Network Calls happen on Android's Service Component which helps in keeping activities, fragments fat-free.
- Separation of Concerns: All the things related to a particular Api Call is encapsulated in one file.
