💙⛰ What is Glide Library ⛰💙

Glide is a fast and efficient Open Source Media Management and image loading framework for Android that wraps media decoding, memory and disk caching, and resource pooling into a simple and easy to use interface.

Glide supports fetching, decoding, and displaying video stills, images, and animated GIFs. Glide includes a flexible API that allows developers to plug in to almost any network stack. 🙆🏻‍♂️

By default Glide uses a custom HttpUrlConnection based stack, but also includes utility libraries plug in to Google's Volley project or Square's OkHttp library instead. 💎

Google Gson Converter 💥

Gson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. 📦

Gson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-existing objects that you do not have source-code of. 🔥

There are a few open-source projects that can convert Java objects to JSON. 💎

However, most of them require that you place Java annotations in your classes; something that you can not do if you do not have access to the source-code. 🙆🏻‍♂️

💚 Retrofit Library 💚

Retrofit turns your REST API into a Java Interface 💎

It’s an elegant solution for organizing API Calls in a project. The request method and relative URL are added with an Annotation , which makes code clean and simple.

With annotations, you can easily add a request body, manipulate the URL or headers and add query parameters. 🔥

Adding a return type to a method will make it synchronous, while adding a Callback will allow it to finish asynchronously with success or failure. 🔰

Saving Grandma's Recipes With Xamarin.Forms 👵🏻

When creating mobile apps, you have to create and maintain the user interface and app logic for both iOS and Android separately 🤕 : Objective-C/Swift with XCode and Java with Android Studio. 🤯

That can quickly turn into a pain. With Xamarin.Forms, however, the UI and app logic for your app resides in a single codebase and you get to use a single IDE to maintain it all — saving time and headaches. ✅

In this article, take a lap around Xamarin.Forms to see what it can do for you.💎

My grandma makes the best, most fluffiest, go weak-in-your-knees buns that anybody has ever tasted.😋

The problem is, there’s a ton of secret ingredients (and I’m not just talking love) that go into those buns, and those ingredients and directions are all stored in my grandma’s head. 🤦🏻‍♂️

We all have family recipes like that, and instead of possibly forgetting them, in this article we’re going to create a mobile app for iOS and Android using Xamarin.Forms that will save them for myself and future generations of my family! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

“Sorry JAVA, I am done with you. I have fallen in love with Kotlin.” - Sad Love Story 💔

Google started supporting Kotlin as an official language for Android development. ✅

On that day I decided, If Google somehow exclude JAVA then I am gonna leave Android development to continue my relation with JAVA. ❌

I was very egoistic that no any other language can took place in my heart. 💙

One day, One of my friends suggest me to give at least one chance to Kotlin. Because JAVA does not value my relationship. 🙅🏻‍♂️

Since we have been together from last 6 years sometimes I got angry and scolding on JAVA that It can not do some simple things by itself. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every time I need to write boilerplate code again and again, but still I was appreciating JAVA in front of everyone. 🌍
