As discovered in our last session - Opening a lot of connections breaks things. The creation of the OkHttpClient is done in HackerNewsNetwork#getClient... ugg... A get. Ruthless refactoring! As I was saying; the creation is done in HackernewsNetwork#httpClient. private OkHttpClient httpClient() { return interceptorObj == null ? new OkHttpClient() : new OkHttpClient(…
The Top Stories apparently can include job postings. I have the StoryAdapter only accepting responses that have the type of "story". We need to build up a path for Jobs because it's in the payload. Well... mostly because it crashes the app when I scroll. Network We can assume that…

Pre-ramble Appium is an excellent tool for testing an app running "for reals". No faking talking to other systems - it has to hit the real stuff. I prefer Appium for this as it forces that separation. It requires the application to be treated as a black box. If I…
The first thing I'll do for this post is define my use of Functional Tests. This is something I feel needs to be done because the related type of testing, Integration Tests can easily be swapped for each other. In fact I work with people who use them in opposite…
