Monet
Monet is a wrapper of the Volley and the Jackson libraries. It’s offering a L1 memory caching by using the LRU Cache, apart from the L2 disk caching that Volley offers through the HTTP headers "Cache-Control" and "Expires". You can see the library in action by running the sample app.
Instatiation
For instantiating Monet you have either to extend the MonetApplication class and add the class package into the application tag of the AndroidManifest.xml file:
public class SampleApplication extends MonetApplication {
} <application
android:name=".SampleApplication"Or, to call the Monet.INSTANCE.init(context) method, preferably when your application is starting:
import android.app.Application;
import android.content.Context;
public class YourAppApplication extends Application {
public static MonetApplication instance;
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
instance = this;
// Instantiate Monet once and only once when the application is starting.
Monet.INSTANCE.init(instance);
}
public static Context getContext() {
return instance;
}
}Example Usage
For executing a network call and receive the response:
public class ImagesFragment extends Fragment implements Response.Listener<Response>, ErrorListener {
public void yourMethod() {
//create and execute a jackson request
JacksonRequest.<Response>builder()
.setHttpMethod(Request.Method.GET)
.setUrl(requestedUrl)
.setResponseType(Response.class)
.setListener(ImagesFragment.this)
.setErrorListener(ImagesFragment.this)
.setTag(ImagesFragment.class.getName())
.execute();
}
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
}
@Override
public void onResponse(Response response) {
// process with the response
}
}
Where Response is the POJO class which is using the Jackson lib and will bind the response. Also, for receiving either the succesfull or the error response you have to implement the onResponse and onErrorResponse callbacks respectively.
Run sample app
In order to run the sample app you have to register a new app with the Shutterstock API and replace the clied_id and the secret_id in the fields below that they are available in the CategoriesFragment class.
private final static String SHUTTERSTOCK_CLIENT_ID = "";
private final static String SHUTTERSTOCK_CLIENT_SECRET = "";Features to be added soon:
- Support of Gson library.
- Configurable L1 disk cache.
