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.

Lets make a Twitch Android app. Part 1. App access tokens
Now you might think that in order to make the request we are going to use Retrofit but in reality we are going to be sending out an implicit intent like so:
-
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
-
Google play closed testing
for example https://square.github.io/retrofit/ have mentioned it in at the bottom. Similarly there maybe other rules for other dependencies. Usually I search the missing classes error in google and find some proguard rule for it.
-
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)
-
Connecting an API (Java Spring) to an Android application
The first get request is to retrieve a list of objects and the second one is to get a single one. You can read more about RetroFit here.

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.

Comprehensive Guide to OkHttp for Java and Kotlin
When building applications that communicate over the web, a reliable and efficient HTTP client is essential. OkHttp, one of the most popular HTTP clients for Java and Android development, stands out as a powerful tool for handling network operations.

Tutorial: Build a Java SDK based on OpenAPI Spec
Your SDK will need a reliable HTTP client to interact with APIs. For Java, consider HttpClient from the standard library or popular libraries like OkHttp if you need more flexibility.

OpenSSL bug exposed up to 255 bytes of server heap and existed since 2011
> Issue summary: Calling the OpenSSL API function SSL_select_next_proto with an empty supported client protocols buffer may cause a crash or memory contents to be sent to the peer.
BoringSSL fix: https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/+/c1d9ac02514a1...
The heap leak was independently observed in 2014 in the Android okhttp library: https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/437#issuecomment-358...

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.

Is there a server simulator available for testing API endpoints with low code or no code configuration?

Do you use OkHttp with custom maxRequestsPerHost or maxIdleConnections?
I searched in the OkHttp GitHub project for an advice on which values may be suitable for Android apps nowadays but found no answers (only this old issue which does not help). Since we share a single OkHttp client Singleton for all our retrofit APIs and even Coil, I wonder if the default 5 maxRequestsPerHost is really enough.

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.

[HELP] Add a dependency in IntelliJ
And adding to that: The asynchttpclient library is just a thin wrapper around OkHttp3, so it might be easier to just go with that instead: https://square.github.io/okhttp/
