Fake Data Layer

Currently, this App doesn't consume any real APIs so to mock the server side response we are using a Fake data layer. A fake data layer is basically a dummy JSON response with the same data model and valid data as required in the App. To generate the fake JSON follow the following steps -

• Structure your data model write getter/setters for each variable (Remember to add the POJO class of any custom data type you are using inside this data model, also enums if you are using them)
• Generate JSON using this
• Copy the generated JSON into a file name {fileName}.json and save into resources directory. You can easily locate resource directory from Android studio or else it is present under app/src/main/resources
• To know how to further use the saved JSON as a server response and to develop a feature check this

There is a second way of adding fake date layer in the App. We are using DBFlow as our local database. For generating the response from the database follow the following step-

• Add the similar data model mentioned above in form of tables. For more guidelines on how to make tables and model follow this.
• After saving the data you can query/fetch the data from the database.

(Note: Use Stetho for database debugging purpose.)
