" summary

Builds a small Star Wars Starships app and shows working code: Retrofit2 + Gson + RxJava for network flows, test subscribers to make observables synchronous, and Mockito to fake Retrofit responses. Sets up unit tests (local gson parsing, mocked observables) and Android integration/UI tests with Espresso and idling resources, explains where assets live and why some Android classes break unit tests. Uses Dagger 2 for injectable service wiring so tests replace dependencies, and verifies behavior rather than vague examples of testing.
