Redux in Android

If you have ever created an android app with multiple screens, where you need to pass around some data across multiple screens and need to perform some operation based on the current state of the app or something of that sort, you can understand how messy it can be if not designed properly. We end up creating global application classes, create a bunch of singletons and use shared preferences to store some application state data and whatnot.

We can definitely do a better job of handling our application state. It turns out that the Javascript community has already been using an excellent pattern to handle this and that is what we will look into this post.

We are going to talk about Redux.

Before jumping into the “how” part, I want to discuss the “why”. So that we can truly appreciate what redux offers and how it can be useful in designing large scale apps.

I hope these points gives you an overview idea of the basic principles of redux and why it can be a very good candidate for your next big app. In this post, I tried to talk about what redux is and how it can be helpful. In the next one, I will show you redux in action by creating an android app which uses redux in its pure form. There are many things which I haven’t discussed here like Middlewares, any discussion on redux is incomplete without discussing middlewares. But that is also a topic for the next post. That's it for this one. Below you will find more interesting blogs about redux.

Thank you for reading.
