simple-stack VS sunflower

As someone who had been using single-activity since 2015 (a'la Flow) and eventually just rewrote the whole thing to fix all the bugs we had with it in 2017, I find it sad that the single-activity approach was questioned not because it was harder, but because people made their own lives harder. And then Google made their lives harder.

I've been using single-activity but with Simple-Stack since 2016 and never deprecated it because Navigation just has these quirks that impede you a lot. I know how to use it but wouldn't really pick it.

This is why we've been using https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack and it was never deprecated. We've been using it for 6 years, I'd say there was a critical bug but it was fixed in 2.3.1...

I mean, we use Simple-Stack because it makes things easier, if it didn't we'd have ditched it long ago https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack

Agreed. I also added support for it 2 weeks ago.

I don't, because we use this and it's better than activities+intents 😅

We've been making single activity apps with https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack and it has been easier than multi-activity.

I still use https://github.com/Zhuinden/simple-stack to this day, although I still use it with fragments.

I have been using Fragments instead of compound viewgroups lately with simple-stack as the navigator for the single-activity, although I need to figure out how to switch to use onBackPressed+onBackInvokedCallback and not just onBackPressed.

You can think of Simple-Stack as a direct successor of Mortar+Flow.

If you want to open a project in Android Studio, you need its original source code. For instance, go here, then click Code > Download ZIP.

Technically the 2019 version of this repo https://github.com/android/sunflower/tree/5d5dd9e1f0bee1ef506d70aaacf21fe893a9fb83 was significantly less clear than newer versions.

Like looking at Google's android/sunflower app... I see it and it see how they are all divided viewmodel/fragment/workers but what should I be paying attention to when looking at sample apps to learn ?

Lastly, the problem with dig around is, my team is starting a project from scratch so there is nothing to reference. Android at least have some "best practice" example to follow (https://github.com/android/sunflower) Is there something like that for Spring?

After you are quite proficient with the framework, this time you should discover new things. The most trusted source is the samples from Google, for example, Sunflower
