Android MVVM Kotlin Tutorial - LiveData + ViewModel (Android Architecture Components)

[@DivyangM]

The BEST MVVM TUTORIAL on the planet for beginners. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was in college. Thank you, sir.

[@tonyblack1981]

I absolutely love way you explain the purpose for everything you are doing throughout your tutorial. I'm subscribing. I don't want to speak too soon, but maybe you're the tutor I've been looking for to help me make sense of android dev. Thumbs up.

[@mitchellthornton1223]

You're the best. I'd love to see you do a design pattern series. I have trouble understanding how to link everything together and the reasons behind design patterns

[@ResoCoder]

Thank you! I will make a full Android app series using MVVM pattern. I might do a comparison between different architectural patterns but I don't promise anything 😄

this is great tutorial ! learning how to use mvvm in android app. glad that I found it early

[@AdilKhalil]

thanks for being so considerate and 'apologising' for bad sound in the start. I hardly noticed it :)

[@hellespont5072]

Incredible tutorial!! Thank you so much for making this, you are an amazing teacher! I am currently making an app that handles the shopping in a retail store (for the people who physically shop or "pick" the items that are delivered to your house). I made a basic desktop version using java and MVC, but after seeing how well you put this together I am definitely going to use Kotlin and the MVVM techniques you have shown here. Much appreciated! Subscribed :D

[@alextroy605]

Thank you, you are really simple explained the difference module: dao, repos, vm, vmf, and use that in Activity )) That's not simple to understand that when you are reading the manual by himself. Three time "addQuote" 🙈👋

[@davidmfra]

Hey. @14:00 on your database singleton you could have used the lazy delegate, like this: val instance = lazy{ FakeDatabase()} also it's a good practice to not use this for the lock, use a private object for locking,so people cannot have access to your lock outside.

[@dragossusi]

or you can use object instead of class

[@davidmfra]

@@dragossusi yes, you would keep the Singleton logic, but loose the lazyness

[@mohsenss8791]

I've seen twice but still some interesting points to learn.

[@matt-g-recovers]

I have used this as reference last couple years when I forget this or that. It's a great crash course and quick reference. I love the DI from scratch @27:20

[@patrickstens2779]

Great video! What colour scheme/font are you using? Really like the colours. Edit: It's the Material UI Theme Plugin with color scheme set to Material Darker

[@michaelgidron]

Sweet .. thanks :-)

[@berkc5323]

and which font is it?

[@nandomkumchi4377]

Tanx so much Reso coder.... I have a better understanding of Live data and MVVM now...

[@kingmarwat]

amaaaaaazing. teaching method. well done, awesome

[@dival9963]

Really awesome video! It would be nice to provide an advanced implementation like this, combining mvvm with services, where data are driven from services to a database

[@michalrv3066]

great tutorial, best android tutorial quality I've seen on youtube so far

[@remali26]

Everyone if you want to rename something press the word you want to rename and then press shift+F6 and then enter. Or press right click refactor -> rename.

[@nsansa9234]

I think not using Room DB and making it fake DB made it more confusing

[@savaramkiran]

Excellent tutor, required full tutorial explaining hitting REST API, Local Storage, Repository, ViewModel, View

[@dhivabanyuwigara7406]

Nice tutorial, hope you do LiveData + ViewModel + DataBinding on later video, and thanks!

[@TheAiSaEr]

Thank you! :) Great explanation! And your voice is so nice!

Third video i've watched today. Amazing work!

[@asadmukhtar1]

Great video! What colour scheme/font are you using? Really like the colours?

[@LoldemortII]

I love you!! This is just what I needed to progress!

[@MultiBuzzTube]

thanks for this wonderful video - should the repo be init with the db and not the dao ? why repo is with constructor with dao?

[@Enshaedn]

Thank you for the video. It has helped me understand MVVM better though I still feel like I need more practice with it. Specifically related to actually connecting with a database. I was wondering if any of your other videos/tutorials explain connecting with Firestore. Would it be made via calls / queries in the Repository class or would you still have a Database class which instantiates the DB connection and makes the queries? Firestore also allows listeners for data changes so I don't understand if LiveData should be used as well or if it matters. Using Firestore also seems like Room wouldn't need to be used. Is that correct?

[@moritziseke9658]

13:24 you can simply use "object FakeDatabase {...}" to create a singleton

[@amrh4259]

the same question

[@JessintaFernandes]

Thank you very much Sir, Great tutorial ...

[@gerardpalma8006]

I think that you can use the DI to create the Singleton instance for some of your classes

[@khanhsb15]

Thanks so much, it's helpful !

[@DjangoMx]

Great video but i have a question, for each view model i have to create a viewmodel factory? because in the video you only create one for the only one viewmodel you have

[@raghav_achari]

how did he set listener to the button with just id?? i mean without findViewById().... and also accessed other ui elements with just id.. how??

[@bsrafael]

Synthetic binding. Requires installing kotlin android extensions. Check this out: medium.com/coding-blocks/goodbye-findviewbyid-say-hello-to-synthetic-binding-in-kotlin-d3727bd8438e

Hi, I familiar with android studio in Java but new in Kotlin...what is the basic things u can suggest before I start to learn about MVVM ? like coroutines, room, etc ?

[@joshthiele8416]

Excellent video. I'm new to development, so i could be totally wrong, but shouldn't the business logic be in the ViewModel, and not in the View? :)

Do you have tutorials for MVVM when using Firebase?

[@pd6732]

Thanks for the video. Have been doing android stuff for quite some time now, but never follwed any particular design patters because the apps were for personal use only. Btw. what color scheme/font are you using? Kinda reminds me of default atom colors. cheers

[@ResoCoder]

Yes, the need for patterns comes after a few finished projects :D I'm using "Material Darker" theme. It's a plugin for Android Studio. The font is Consolas.

Amazing ! It's so helpful

[@elpirato5428]

thx, best short tutorial

[@OmerFarukUcer]

I still can't understand the topic.I try to learn MVVM architecture using in an app but still can't understand why we use this kind of different usages.I mean it's like there is no logic.How can I learn it easily?I tried my best but still can't understand the liveData or MVVM architechture :(

[@jollibeecheese]

I suppose Quote should not be initialized on QuoteActivity cause it directly uses a model. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

[@VinayKumar-mb3ge]

keep adding more videos.Thanks

[@mohsenss8791]

Thanks. I've learned so much.

[@LordOfTheBing]

23:10 if your QuoteViewModel is only passing along the repos's method, it is an useless intermediate. In this case, you can work on the repo directly instead of adding complexity for the sake of it.

[@md.naimurrahman2466]

Just amazing!

[@EL-cb1nu]

I dont understand why at 16:58 the FakeDatabase object is no inheriting FakeDatabaseDao, but rather is creating FakeDatabaseDao as a new object?

[@CiaphasCain21]

Thanks!! Your tutorial was realy helpful

[@jktan5793]

Hi, very nice and updated tutorial. Can you add dagger2 and retrofit (web service) in this project tutorial too ?

[@ResoCoder]

Thanks. I will publish a tutorial on MVVM and Kodein which is a dependency injection framework built for Kotlin. I'm also currently preparing a whole tutorial series where we'll be using Retrofit2, Room and more. Stay tuned 😃

[@jktan5793]

Thank you so much. Love the way you teaching, and also your sound is really clear and good =) Can't wait for them haha. Thank you once again !!!

[@mohsenss8791]

In case of a chat app that we have two models, if we have just one repository which gives data to all view models, it does not make sense. Because all the functions we have in the repository is accessible in any view models. For example, we can get a list of groups in user viewmodel. So what can we do for this problem?

[@mankesh_mishra]

Great Video (cheers) Thanks for the tutorial. :D

[@ziweiguo7821]

Thinks for your video, but I have a question: how to initialize view without invoking "findViewById" method?

[@fabrizziocht]

When I have many entities, should I create a repository for each one? For example, if I have the Post and Blog entities, each with its own DAO, I could implement a repository for each one, but in a real application I may need both at the same time in a synchronizeAll () method. How can I solve this?

[@cwssoftware3588]

Please create videos on testing

[@abdulhakeemmahmood5463]

hey @6:50 , why override the toString method in kotlin data class? data class does that by default, right?

Yes it's, but for easy understanding u can override it

[@blackkingblackjack3325]

I encounter an unsresolved reference issue in the QuotesActivity when I reference the textView or editText, any idea why? I get unrseolved reference and variable expected

other than this, no errors in the code showing up

[@voicheci007]

Hi Matej! Can you do another tutorial like this but with a real DAO (Room library) and a real web service you can call? This is a bit confusing. Thank you for understanding

[@ResoCoder]

Sure! Check out my new videos. I'm doing a tutorial series where we're building a real world forecast mvvm app.

[@kamala132]

Amazing tutorial mate, thanks a lot for it! Could you please explain how do I plug a real db in this pattern? I m using normal sqlite with Anko library

[@ResoCoder]

Thanks! Have you considered using the Room library? Even if not, watch my newest tutorial series. The last part is about creating a database.

[@OurPastSecrets]

I'm confused at the distinction of DAO and Repository - I always thought of them as the same thing. Your implementation of Respository just calls the DAO.getQuotes() or DAO.addQuote() so why the extra layer

[@MateusMeurer]

Oh fuck me twice, seriously? I know the good practices are here to better our lives but damn, he already have like 4 packages and 6 classes and I'm halfway through the tutorial and this is a simple quote app. Thank you for the tutorial btw very clear =)

[@tigranbabajanyan842]

Why not used ROOM annotations?

[@krishnachinya]

very helpful. can you do the same tutorial using Java

[@ResoCoder]

I technically could but Kotlin is the way to go 😉

[@krishnachinya]

Yeah, but most companies don't switch to kotlin from java. its rework and there is not much advantage in switching in terms of performance or support. at the end of the day both codes are converted into bytecode.

[@ProjectNullTheGame]

I think this volitale and sync is unneccessary because we have lazy pattern for kotlin...

[@pembatamang8233]

your Android Studio looks like Visual Studio

[@bricktop5403]

Using Fake database was a pretty bad idea here. Makes it so much confusing with terms QuoteDao, FakeDatabase, FakeQuoteDao

After researching the components website, I learn that you now have to specify the viewmodel and livedata extensions separately. _implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-viewmodel-ktx:2.0.0'_ _implementation 'androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-livedata:2.0.0'_

[@witoldsienski1709]

Very good video

[@this-is-bioman]

The actual content of wiring-up the view with the model begins at 30:00. I find the FakeQuoteDao is overengineered not only for this example but in general. There should be only a repository exposing an interface so that you can exchange the repository. The way you did it creates unnecessary repetitions where you end up with three (!) methods named getQuotes. This tutorial is also too long. Mixing dependency injection and all the factories etc here makes it difficult to follow. The focus should have been just to wire-up the model with the view which could have been done in less than 8 minutes :-\

[@dentor2005]

Memory LEAK. As for me it's not a good idea to receive LiveData from repository directly (through ViewModel) to Layout / Activvity / Fragment. Because you don't know how much time it will take to the DataBase to execute your query. It should be asynchronous task. That's why you should wait in ViewModel the answer from the Repository DB and then using switchMap replace the answer (LiveData ) from Repository to LiveData that is intended for your Layout. Summary: Get data from DB to ViewModel and if Activity / Fragment AND put the answer to the new LiveData that will be received in Activity / Frament. Why? Because user can run some task that needs DB data (REST API for example), and without waiting for the end of execution exit from Application or switched to another Activity / Fragment.
