CodingWithMitch – Local Database Cache with REST API 2021-12

In this course you’ll learn how to build a local database cache with SQLite and Room. The cache retrieves data from a REST API using Retrofit2. Architecture is MVVM.  The app used to retrieve the data from Food2Fork.com, but that website has been shutdown. A Codingwithmitch.com community member stripped the data and published to this heroku app: recipesapi.herokuapp.com.

What you’ll learn

• Caching data for when the network goes offline
• Reading cached data when the network is down
• Custom SQLite queries using Room
• Customizing the cache (how long data will live in the cache)
• How Retrofit caching works
• Why SQLite and Room is better for caching than Retrofit
• How to design a database cache
• There is no “one size fits all”
• Retrofit is better for some things but room is better for others
• How Glide caching works
• Glide RecyclerView Preloader (Customizing how many list items get cached)
• Dealing with Network Errors and slow network speeds
• OkHttp Network Timeouts
• Converting Retrofit Calls to LiveData (Call Adapters)
• And much more

Who this course is for

• Android Developers
