CI pipeline

CI is utilizing GitHub Actions. Complete GitHub Actions config is located in the .github/workflows folder.

PR Verification

Series of workflows runs (in parallel) for every opened PR and after merging PR to main branch:

  • ./gradlew lintDebug - runs Android lint
  • ./gradlew testDebugUnitTest - run unit tests

Upcoming improvements

  • Increase tests coverage in the data layer.
  • Improve code quality.

Known issues

  • Leaky memory: this issue produced when the user navigate from FeedFragment to BlogDetailFragment before the image loading is complete and vice-versa.

Inspiration

This is project is to inspire you and should handle most of the common cases, but please take a look at additional resources.
