Getting clean. Keeping lean.
@hitherejoe hitherejoe joebirch.co Joe Birch - Android Engineer @ Buffer
@buffer buffer.com
Greenfield projects
None
- High-level of technical debt - Extremely tightly coupled concepts
- No unit or UI tests - Difficult to know what is going on and where No longer lean
- YOU know what is what - YOU know where
class X is - YOU know where logic for Y is - But what about along the line… No longer lean (for now) (for now) (for now)

25 50 75 100 Output Debt
For the sake of yours and future developers sanity -
have empathy. Be mindful of the consequences and think before you craft.
Buffer for Android
None
None
None
- Lack of architecture - Bloated activities with multiple responsibilities
- Difficult to test - Difficult to extend and maintain - Duplication of concepts == no reuse
Moving to MVP - Fear of changing too much -
Helped separate presentation logic - DataManagers to house data operations - Increased test coverage
None
None
Not enough. - Bloated DataManager classes - Future changes, offline
- where? - Presentation linked to specific data source - No clear line between responsibilites - Buffer is a big app. Data types, features, sources

Clean Architecture
None
Separation of Concerns
- Layers are independent of frameworks - Code becomes more
testable - Inner layers independant of UI - Inner layers independant of external parties Separation of Concerns - Bugs more isolated
None
Layer Models - Each layer has own Model classes -
Removes dependancy on external models - Easily map with Mapper classes
ModelA Mapper Model Mapper Model
Enterprise Business Rules - Application Business Objects (Entities) - Unaffected
by operational change - Can create before touching any UI
public class TournamentModel { public String id; public String
name; @SerializedName("full_name") public String status; @SerializedName("date_start") public String dateStart; @SerializedName("date_end") public String dateEnd; public int size; }
Application Business Rules - Application specific business rules - Uses
Cases - Affected by operational change - Isolated from external concerns
public class GetSchedules extends UseCase<ProfileSchedules> { private final SchedulesRepository
schedulesRepository; @Inject public GetSchedules(SchedulesRepository schedulesRepository) { this.schedulesRepository = schedulesRepository; } @Override public Single<ProfileSchedules> buildUseCaseObservable() { return schedulesRepository.getSchedules(); } }
None
Use Case Interface Interface Impl Activity Application Business Rules Interface
Adapters
Interface Adapters - Contains MVP architecture of our app -
Presenters contain ‘callbacks’ - Views define contract for implementation - Mapper converts data from external form
public class UpdatesPresenter extends BasePresenter<UpdatesMvpView> implements SingleObserver<List<Update>> { @Override public
void onSubscribe(Disposable d) { … } @Override public void onSuccess(List<Match> matches) { … } @Override public void onError(Throwable e) { … } }
Presenter Interface Interface Impl Activity Interface Adapters Frameworks & Drivers
Frameworks & Drivers - UI components (Activities, Fragments) - Networking
actions (Retrofit) - Storage (Cache & DB) - Repository Pattern for interacting with these
Repository Interface Repository Impl DataStore Interface DataStore Impl DataStore Impl
DataStore Factory
None
Layer Boundaries - Communication via abstractions (interfaces) - No direct
name references in inner layers - Instead, inner layer provides this interface - aka, The Dependancy Inversion Principle
Not limited to these layers Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer
3 Layer 4
Not limited to these layers Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer

Not limited to these layers Layer 1 Layer 2 Layer
3 Layer 4 Layer 5 Layer 6
Test Coverage
None
Learnings
Advantages. - High percentage of code coverage - Incredibly easy
to navigate package structure - Easier to maintain - Allows us to move faster - Focused classes and test classes
- Seperation of concerns - Define, Test, Stabilise before UI
- Futureproof implementations - Clear discipline, good practice - and more…
Disadvantages - Adds initial overhead - Takes time to get
used to - Can feel overkill for some tasks - Difficult to make decisions - Conversion of models between layers
