RoboSpice is a modular Android library that simplifies writing asynchronous long-running tasks, specialized in network requests. It executes REST requests in a background Android service, caches results in various formats, and delivers results to activities with respect to their lifecycles without memory leaks.
Use cases
- make asynchronous network requests in android apps
- cache REST API responses on android
- run background network tasks without leaking activities
- notify android activities of request results on the UI thread
- execute multiple network requests concurrently on android
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already built on RoboSpice
- supporting very old Android versions (Froyo+) with a proven request library
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the library is explicitly unmaintained
- targeting Android O or newer where its service model is problematic
- modern async networking - prefer Retrofit with RxJava/Kotlin coroutines
