Android Stub Server
by
Makes Android development more bearable

Is API there yet?

Common problems with API
Api done in parallel with app
Hard to test cases or production api
Hacking offline (work on airplane, anyone?)
Screenshots without designer :)

Our Solution
Android Stub Server� github.com/byoutline/AndroidStubServer �
One line in build.gradle
One line in Application
Serve static files from assets+ =
compile ‘com.byoutline.androidstubserver:stubserver:1.1.+’AndroidStubServer.start(context);
config.json define api by request/response pairs

Custom requests{ “port”: 8098, “requests”: [ { “method”: “GET”, “path”: “/books”, “response file”: “books.json” }, { “method”: “POST”, “path”: { “base”: “/authentication/login”, “queries”: { “username”: “user”, “password”: “pass1234” } }, “code”: 200, “response”: “OK”, “response headers”: { “Set-Cookie”: “JSESSIONID=ABCDE” } },
{ “method”: “DELETE”, “path”: { “urlPattern”: “/books/[0-9]+”, “queries”: { “otp”: “.*” } }, “code”: 204, “response”: “” } ]}

Why this lib?
Starts with app
Dead simple setup 2 lines + config.json
Can be deployed on any device
Works offlineno more “API is down”
Suport for response files and static files

To do
Header matching
