Video App (Tlece Bangladesh Ltd Assessment)

This project was created to complete the assessment for Tlece Bangladesh Ltd. The task was to "Create a simple Android application using Java/Kotlin."

Technologies Used

• Language - Kotlin
• UI - XML
• Database - SQLite
• Architecture - MVVM
• Dependency Injection - Koin
• Image Loading - Glide
• Network - Retrofit
• Other Libraries - SwipeRefreshLayout
• Firebase - Firebase Cloud Messaging

What I have done

• I created a MVVM structure where I used LiveData and ViewModel to handle the data. I used Repository pattern to handle the data from the database and network.
• The provided gist link had the revision id with it, which will not allow future updates of the data to be fetched. So, I removed the revision id from the URL and fetched the data directly from the gist using Retrofit.
• After the initial JSON parsing, I saved the data in the SQLite database. I used SQLite to store the data locally. The periodic checkings are done using ViewModel and Handler.
• My plan was to use work manager to do the periodic checking but I couldn't implement it due to time constraints, it doesn't support less than 15 minutes periodic checking.
• For the UI, I planned to created a 2 column grid layout to show the data. But to show the title and description of the data, I used a single column layout. I used SwipeRefreshLayout to refresh the data. I also added some other UI elements like Live icon, view count, etc.
• I created a basic Video Player Activity to play the video. It can be opened by clicking on the video thumbnail.
• Firebase Cloud Messaging is implemented to show notifications. I used the Firebase console to send notifications. Custom icon is provided for the notification. I also added required POST NOTIFICATION permission request for Android 13 and above.
