Modern application development for Android platform

The thesis focuses on the modern development of applications for Android platform.Particularly it focuses on the application development using the most modern programminglanguages, architecture patterns, libraries and frameworks (in short modern approaches).The objective is to rewrite Pocket Pilot application using modern approaches. This willeliminate some current problems of the application and significantly facilitate the futuredevelopment and maintenance. The partial objective is to compare and select suitablemodern approaches, which will be then used in the implementation of the application.At the beginning of the work, the interview with several professional developers revealsfrequent problems in developing Android applications. Following is a chapter comparingand selecting modern approaches that help solve problems. The next chapter focuses on therefactoring of Pocket Pilot application. In this chapter MMSP methodology is used for theanalysis and design of the application. The input information for the analysis are obtainedby observing Pocket Pilot application, analyzing the bachelor thesis of the author of theapplication and interview with the author of the application. The application design isfollowed by a chapter focused on the implementation of the application, in which anexample of implementation in the original application is presented for each problem, whichis then compared with a new implementation using the selected approach.Benefits of the thesis include refactoring of Pocket Pilot application and the identificationof overall modern approach to Android application development using Kotlin, architecturepatterns, libraries and frameworks.
