Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Using Retrofit Interceptors to check network connection in Android and testing it
from this point on, I will assume, you have a basic understanding of Retrofit. To get the most out of this tutorial I would actually suggest you have a retrofit client already implemented in your application.

Using OAuth2.0 and Retrofit to talk to the GitHub api on Android
This particular blog post will be us building on the information from the previous blog post and using the authorization code from the GitHub OAuth API in combination with Retrofit. To finally get a access token, which allows us to make requests to the API on a behalf of a user.

Show HN: Turn Your APIs into Swift Protocols
Hey HN!
If you're a fan of Swift you may have noticed that with WWDC 2023 came the (beta) release of macros. They're super powerful and expressive!
I've been wishing Swift had a [Retrofit](https://square.github.io/retrofit/) style API definition library for years, and with macros it seemed like this was now possible.
I'd like to show you all Papyrus, a library that turns your APIs into type-safe Swift protocols.
Would love to get your feedback.

Looking for android java developer mentor
When it comes to consuming APIs I can definitely recommend Retrofit. Hopefully that's enough to get you started on where to look!

Akka-HTTP in android
For Android you should use a more mobile friendly framework like Retrofit or if you use Kotlin you can use the multi-platform Ktor library with it's client module

What stack to use for app with functionality like event calendar?
Retrofit in combination with OkHttp for fetching data from server (which hopefully already exists)

Moving from iOS development and I have a question about finding dependencies
So I've been playing around with search.maven.org and perhaps I'm not quite understanding it. For example, if I look for Retrofit I'm not seeing anything that resembles retrofit above https://central.sonatype.dev/search?q=Retrofit.

Ktor or Retrofit?
I'm going to hit you with a "it depends" though whether to use ktor or retrofit. If there is any part of you that thinks you're going to support multiplatform, then ktor with no discussion. Retrofit has come out and said that's not on their road map. There is another option called ktorfit which from the name you can guess is like retrofit but built on top of ktor to support multiplatform.

Consuming a REST API using just vanilla Java!
I had a decent experience with Retrofit in the past, but that was a couple of years ago, idk if there are better tools now.

Consuming and Testing third party API's using Spring Webclient
We will use Square’s Mock Webserver to spin up a mock server which we can use to simulate real api's request to the get coffee endpoint.

Introduction to HTTP Multipart
You can technically add a Content-Length header for each part. It's not forbidden by the RFC, but nor is it common. It caused [problems](https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/2138) for OkHttp, and they eventually removed it. Might be fine for internal-only use, though.
Boundaries are a lot like UUIDs, and rely on the same logic. When generating random data, once you have enough bits, the odds are against that sequence of bits ever having been generated before in the universe.

Introducing Bld: A New Pure Java Build System
Lets be specific. This is the gradle build file for Squares okhttp client library. How exactly would your bld tool "predict" or "help" with all the parameters needed? There is no need to be defensive. Replace those large build files with your own, show where your approach is better and then understanding will lead to better solutions.

Is it acceptable to use mock servers, like Postman, for testing in Android?
Being more familiar with Android development only, I mainly use https://github.com/square/okhttp/tree/master/mockwebserver

Best libraries for Android Developers
Retrofit is the best library that lets you connect to HTTP-based API services from your Android applications. It leverages the OkHttp library’s core functionality, adding a bunch of features to it while eliminating the boilerplate code.

How to use Cronet Engine for API calls? Any simple repo for it to understand?
Use Retrofit or anything else that builds on OkHttp. If you do end up needing some features that Cronet supports but OkHttp doesn't (such as HTTP/3), just write an interceptor or use google/cronet-transport-for-okhttp.
