I am trying to create an app by using MVP design pattern
. This is the first time i am using this pattern, thats the reason i am little concerned that either i am following the pattern correctly or not.
This is what i have done so far. I am not using Dagger2
.
Interface
public interface MainActivityMVP {
interface Model{
void sendTokenToServer(MainActivityMVP.Presenter presenter);
}
interface View{
boolean isPnTokenRegistered();
void tokenUpdated();
void tokenFailedToUpdate();
}
interface Presenter{
void tokenUpdatedSuccessfully();
void tokenAlreadyExists();
void detachView();
}
On MainActivity
, I have created an instance of Presenter
and Model
and pass the Model
object to Presenter Constructor
MainActivity
public class MainActivity extends BaseActivity implements MainActivityMVP.View {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_base);
mainPresenter= new MainPresenter(this, new MainModel());
mainPresenter.sendFCMTokenToServer();
}
On Presenter I call Model's
method to perform operation, and pass presenter
reference to it.
Presenter
public class MainPresenter implements MainActivityMVP.Presenter{
MainActivityMVP.View view;
MainActivityMVP.Model model;
public MainPresenter(MainActivityMVP.View view, MainActivityMVP.Model model){
this.view= view;
this.model= model;
}
public void sendFCMTokenToServer() {
model.sendTokenToServer(this);
}
@Override
public void tokenUpdatedSuccessfully() {
view.tokenUpdated();
}
@Override
public void tokenAlreadyExists() {
view.tokenFailedToUpdate();
}
In Model, I create instance of PreferenceManager
class that gets data from SharedPreference
public class MainModel implements MainActivityMVP.Model {
PreferencesHelper preferencesHelper;
public MainModel(){
preferencesHelper= new PreferencesHelper();
}
@Override
public void sendTokenToServer(MainActivityMVP.Presenter presenter) {
if (preferencesHelper.getNotificationSettings().isEmpty()) {
//do stuff
presenter.tokenUpdatedSuccessfully();
}
}
Now i have these questions.
Is the above approach of implementing MVP pattern is fine, or i am missing something here.
Is it fine if i add an other interface for call backs, or passing
Presenter to model is better approach, as i have seen some example
where they pass interactor
reference to model.
Is it necessary to create Interactor Class
in MVP pattern
Is it fine, and not against MVP rule
if i create a separate
interface for Repository,
Developers have different varieties of implementing MVP. Few people use interactors. Its is not compulsory to use interactors in MVP. I will suggest you below since you are in a starting stage.
public interface MainView extends BaseView {
boolean isPnTokenRegistered();
void tokenUpdated();
void tokenFailedToUpdate();
}
Then have your basepresenter be like this
public interface BasePresenter<V extends BaseView> {
void setView(V view);
void destroyView();
void destroy();
}
Now your MainPresenter
public class MainPresenter implements BasePresenter<MainView>{
MainView view;
PreferencesHelper preferencesHelper;
MainPresenter(){
preferencesHelper= new PreferencesHelper();
}
@Override
public void setView(MainView view) {
this.view = view;
}
@Override
public void destroyView() {
this.view = null;
}
@Override
public void destroy() {
}
public void sendFCMTokenToServer() {
//Do whatever you want
}
}
Finally have your activity like this,
public class MainActivity extends BaseActivity implements MainView {
MainPresenter mainPresenter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_base);
mainPresenter= new MainPresenter();
mainPresenter.attachView(this)
mainPresenter.sendFCMTokenToServer();
}
