[feedhenry-dev] Sync decoupling from fh-android-sdk

[Vojtech Sazel]

Hi,

for those who don't know Dynamic SDK Team is now working on decoupling FH
Sync SDK from fh-android-sdk.

But not everyone probably know how is it dependent on rest of the SDK. I
have few points from my little digging into it:
1) Good news is that there it's very little dependency on rest of the sdk.
FH, FHActRequest, FHActCallback- for calling cloud service, basically only
one method is used
FHLog - for logging, wrapper for Android Log

2) Most difficult part would be to replace remote calls, but it's still
quite easy.
*For discussion: *Should we use *OkHttp* <http://square.github.io/okhttp/>http
client or more high level library like *Retrofit
<http://square.github.io/retrofit/>*? Or even use plain Java
HttpsURLConnection or something else??

3) Determining URL to cloud app after decoupling. *@wtrocki* How was this
done in JS Sync SDK?

4) QE would like to have most functionality written platform independent
(not dependent on Android SDK).
Why to do that? We can have most tests running without emulator. This would
result in much quicker and more stable execution. It's especially important
when running tests on Circle CI, Jenkins or elsewhere.
How to do that?
We can have HTTP calls, logger and filesystem access written against
interfaces. Then it can be implemented in Android or pure Java separately.
Like this -

<https://github.com/feedhenry/fh-android-sdk/pull/107/commits/ae2c16a6b0dd2ff24ff45578b579f7cf5b04415f>

This would also serve as PoC of proper design for other future SDKs for
5.x/mobile.next.

Thanks for your suggestions.
