Learn how to create a fully functional Android app in Java by taking a project-based approach.

Android Development with Java

In this module, we’ll take a hands-on, project-based approach to developing Android applications. We’ll work with the most common tools that Android developers use every day including Java, Groovy, and XML. As we learn, we’ll build a fully functional Travel Blog application that will be a great addition to our portfolio.
By the end of this module, we’ll have built a fully functional Android application and be ready to build even more complex projects.

The *Repository* pattern helps us to abstract away the way we retrieve the data. The *Repository* provides a clean API so that the rest of the app can retrieve data easily.

Before implementing the *Repository* pattern, let’s re-factor `BlogHttpClient`. Since we are not going to use the `BlogHttpClient` directly inside activity, we can remove the listener from the `loadBlogArticles` method and make it blocking call instead.

This lesson will go over the implementation of the Repository pattern.
