Open-Source Android Apps To Boost Your Development Skills (Part -2)

MLManager

(Github | Play Store | Difficulty: Beginner)

MLManager is a simple and straight-forward app manager for your Android device. This project is ideal for you if you want to learn how to get detailed information about the installed apps on your device, extract APKs from those apps, uninstall apps and much more.

The coding standards used in this app is quite good and should be followed. It can also give you a good idea of designing clean and simple apps following the Material Design guidelines.

PhotoAffix

(Github | Play Store| Difficulty: Beginner)

A very simple and cleanly designed app which can be used to stitch photos vertically or horizontally. Sounds simple? It actually is.

It is ideal for any beginner Android developer willing to learn the basics of Android development. The coding standards are top-notch and the app has been developed keeping the best practices in mind.

You will also learn to make some simple yet useful custom views which can help you to get your foundation ready so that you can later move on to creating some really complex views in future.

MovieGuide

(Github | Difficulty: Intermediate)

The goal of this app is pretty simple, to list the popular movies with their trailers and reviews. But what makes this project really interesting is the way things have been implemented here.

The app showcases some really cool development stuffs like MVP, Uncle Bob’s Clean Architecture, gives the sweet taste of RxJava and dependency injection using Dagger 2.

The app is quite simple but the way things have been implemented is fantastic and definitely worth a look.

AnExplorer

(Github | | Play Store | Difficulty: Intermediate)

Yet another simple, light-weight and minimalistic file manager designed for both phones and tablets.

There are lots of things to learn about file handling, root management, loaders, custom views, etc. from this project. It is quite well made and should not take you a lot of time to grasp what’s happening inside it.

Minimal ToDo

(Github | Play Store | Difficulty: Beginner)

If you are a beginner, this is a very simple yet cool project to start with. You will get a good chance to learn most of the basic and fundamental aspects of Android development.

The design of the app is decent and serves as a good starting point for beginners. But don’t follow the coding standards or package structure followed here, as they are not upto the mark and should be avoided.
