Day 33. Generic response

Day 33. Generic response

I think being only an Android developer is too narrow today. You need to have broader knowledge and skills to solve tasks outside single-platform development.

I decided to extract a separate model for it and simply add a mapper to the…

The best E Ink tablets for 2024
