Description: Learn how to migrate from an older API to Dependency Injection in Android for improved code structure, better testing capabilities, and enhanced maintainability.

Example Migration

Below is an example of how to refactor an older API that uses hard-coded dependencies to one that employs Dependency Injection:

// Before: Hard-coded dependency example class ApiService { public function fetchData() { return 'Data from old API'; } } class UserController { private $apiService; public function __construct() { $this->apiService = new ApiService(); // Hard-coded dependency } public function getUserData() { return $this->apiService->fetchData(); } } // After: Using Dependency Injection class UserController { private $apiService; public function __construct(ApiService $apiService) { // Dependency is injected $this->apiService = $apiService; } public function getUserData() { return $this->apiService->fetchData(); } } // Dependency injection in action $apiService = new ApiService(); $userController = new UserController($apiService); echo $userController->getUserData();
