Refactoring in Android Studio

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Shows how the Refactor menu in Android Studio plus plugins actually reduces real technical debt: run Metrics Reloaded to find a method with cyclomatic complexity 9 and design complexity 10, then apply extract method, move method and replace temp with query to move pricing logic out of a 600–2,000 line activity into Rental and Presenter classes. Uses Sonar/SonarCloud for CI gating, requires unit tests before each step, and converts classic Activities toward MVP/AAC with measurable complexity drops.
