On the issue of using the Room library from the Android Jetpack suite and simplifying the development of mobile applications for Android
Incoming article date: 15.12.2022Mobile applications today are a necessary tool for work, study, entertainment and communication with the entire information world. Every year, the requirements for applications are increasing, as well as the need for stable and multifunctional software tools that will be able to quickly perform the tasks assigned to them. Although most applications require Internet access to provide access to services, it is also necessary to ensure that data is stored on the device itself in order to allow offline access to data. To solve this problem when developing mobile applications, there are many different tools, but the most common is the Room library, which is included in the "Android Jetpack" package. The article provides a brief description of the functionality of this library. The work of all the main components with basic annotations is considered. The interaction of the main components of the library is also schematically presented and an example of implementation in a mobile application for the Android operating system is shown.
