Comprehensive Android Development Guide: Clean architecture, MVVM, Jetpack Libraries (LiveData, StateFlow, Retrofit, Hilt, Coroutine, Compose and more)

Welcome to our project repository, where we dive deep into the intricacies of Android development with a focus on Jetpack Libraries. This project serves not a real-world application it serves as an extensive resource for learning and understanding the application of modern development practices, libraries and structures in Android.

Key Features and Learning Outcomes:

• LiveData & StateFlow Integration: Learn how to manage UI-related data in a lifecycle-aware fashion, ensuring your app's UI matches the data state.
• Advanced Retrofit Usage: Explore the power of Retrofit for making API calls, handling different HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE), and customizing requests with headers and path parameters. Our examples include fetching weather data, user management operations, and handling authorization in API requests.
• Data Combination and Transformation: Discover how to combine data from multiple StateFlows or LiveData objects, enhancing the responsiveness and flexibility of your app.
• Dependency Injection with Hilt: Delve into dependency injection using Hilt to decouple your code and improve testability. Learn the distinctions between @Binds and @Provides for efficient DI implementation.
• RecyclerView Optimization: Implement RecyclerView with DiffUtil for efficient data changes handling and create multiple ViewHolders to accommodate different types of list items.
• Unit Testing: Enhance your app's reliability and maintainability by writing unit tests, covering a wide range of components including UI elements, data management, and network requests.
• Our project not only showcases these features in action but also provides a comprehensive guide to applying them in your own projects. Whether you're a beginner looking to grasp the basics or an experienced developer aiming to polish your skills, this repository offers valuable insights and practical examples to elevate your Android development game.

Architecture & Design Principles

We adhere to clean architecture guidelines, structuring our application into multiple layers (Data, Domain, Presentation) to ensure decoupling and testability. The presentation layer is powered by MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel), utilizing Jetpack Compose for dynamic UIs and animations.

Key Libraries

• Jetpack Compose & Material3: For building modern UIs with a focus on material design principles.
• Dagger-Hilt: Dependency injection framework for Android, simplifying the provision of dependencies across the application.
• Retrofit & Gson: Networking and JSON serialization/deserialization for API communication.
• Jetpack Navigation: For handling in-app navigation in a modular and scalable way.
• Coroutines & Flow: For asynchronous programming and reactive data streams.
• Jetpack Lifecycle, LiveData, ViewModel: Lifecycle-aware components for robust and maintainable MVVM architecture.
• ExoPlayer: Media playback.
• Mockito & JUnit: Testing libraries for unit and integration tests.
• TOML Version Catalog: Centralizes and manages library versions across the project, enhancing maintainability and consistency in dependency management.

Custom Compose Animation

Developed with Jetpack Compose, this is a custom animation created without the use of any external libraries. Designed using modern and flexible Compose APIs, it's perfect for adding a unique and fluid experience to your user interface.
