Welcome to the exciting world of Android development with Mosby! In this guide, we will unravel the key elements of the Mosby library, focusing on both the Model-View-Presenter (MVP) and Model-View-Intent (MVI) paradigms. Together, these architectures offer a powerful way to enhance your Android applications.

Setting Up Your Android Project

To get started with Mosby, you need to add the necessary dependencies to your Android project. Think of these dependencies as the ingredients in a recipe – each one contributes to the final dish!

Here’s how to add Mosby to your project:

dependencies {
    // Choose the right dependency for your needs
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvi:3.1.1' // For Model-View-Intent
    // Or
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvp:3.1.1' // For plain MVP
    // Or
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:viewstate:3.1.1' // For MVP + ViewState support

    // Additional modules
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvp-lce:3.1.1' // MVP + ViewState + LCE Views
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvp-nullobject-presenter:3.1.1' // Null Object Presenter
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvp-queuing-presenter:3.1.1' // Queuing Presenter
}

Understanding SNAPSHOT Versions

For those who want to stay on the cutting edge, Mosby also offers SNAPSHOT versions. This is like tasting a new dish before it’s officially served!

dependencies {
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvi:3.1.2-SNAPSHOT'
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvp:3.1.2-SNAPSHOT'
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:viewstate:3.1.2-SNAPSHOT'
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvp-lce:3.1.2-SNAPSHOT'
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvp-nullobject-presenter:3.1.2-SNAPSHOT'
    compile 'com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3:mvp-queuing-presenter:3.1.2-SNAPSHOT'
}

Don’t forget to include the snapshot repository:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'
        }
    }
}

Migration to Mosby 3.0

If you’re upgrading from Mosby 2.x to 3.0, fret not! The transition is designed to be smooth. Just perform a simple find-and-replace in Android Studio:

// Replace import statements
Find: import com.hannesdorfmann.mosby
Replace: import com.hannesdorfmann.mosby3

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you encounter issues while adding dependencies, ensure that your internet connection is stable and try syncing the Gradle again.
• For migration errors, double-check that all import statements have been updated correctly.
• If Snapshots are not downloading, make sure that you have set up the repository URL correctly in your Gradle file.
