How is AnYme build?

AnYme is a native Android application written in Kotlin and Java using Android Studio. It mostly consist of the Architecture Components from Google. The components consist of libraries which help me create robust code for the app while still being backwards comptible up to Android 4.4. Here are some example usages in the app:

LiveData and ViewModel

The LiveData component is used to update the user interface whenever a change happens in the database without having to manually pull the database or fully recreate the screen you're on. LiveData in conjuction with ViewModels also helps prevents any issues that come with configuration changes, such as needing to re-query the database after rotating your device.

Room

Room is a wrapper for SQLite which allows me to do fancy selections over the dataset. All I have to do is annotate my existing models and Room will automatically create an abstraction layer for me. The great thing about Room is that it checks at compile time whether my queries are correct. Here is an example code for how I retrieve the users' top shows while still allowing a variable minimum score:

WorkManager

I use WorkManager to create tasks for code that needs to be executed in the background. I also make sure to only run it under specific conditions. For example: your profile will be updated upon app startup but only if you're connected to the internet. WorkManager guarantees that the task is only executed when possible. Here is how I update a profile:

Why use AnYme?

AnYme is not a competing app. I do not maintain it for the sake of being better than other apps. That said, there are some reasons to pick AnYme over other apps. Here's a small list:

• No Ads
• MAL integration. In fact, AnYme was the first app with MAL integration after their site was relaunched. (An Alpha download was available in less than 3 hours after the site came online)
• An active Discord community (http://anymeapp.com/serverinvite)
• Alpha updates are released multiple times per week
• It has a subreddit with nearly 4K subscribers (http://anymeapp.com/reddit)
• It is based off the most recent SDK build tools for best compatability with most phones and tablets
• It has no app permissions, so it can't look at your files and send them to a server
• It has a Trello board so you can follow the development progress (http://anymeapp.com/todo)
• 🎉 And best of all, this is not made using Xamarin/Visual Studio! 🎉
